- Unarc - extracts files from archive.
- *** HANDLES Squashed (PKARCed) FILES !!! ***
- Usage:
- enter the name of the archive in the TOS Takes Parameters dialog
- box (with full path, e.g. (C:\modem\newstuf\new.arc")
- You can also use it from a shell by typing "unarc <filename>"
- It will respond by displaying each file as it is encountered, then
- with a Yes/No/Quit/All prompt. Hit any of the four keys (shifted
- and unshifted the same, but not control):
-
- Y - Yes, extract this file from the archive
- N - No, move to the next file
- Q - Quit back to shell or desktop.
- A - All files, extract the rest of the files without prompts
-
- 1. It is more robust than ARC.TTP which has been known to crash on rare
- occasions.
- 2. It is faster than ARC.TTP, but slower than DCOPY191. I am using code from
- the original ARC program modified to do either uncrunching or unsquashing,
- the rest is in assembly language. I do much more buffering than ARC.TTP,
- but it is not as optimized as DCOPY.
- 3. It handles Squashed files (PKARC on the IBM PC's) directly.
- 4. It does not do listings (arc v) nor testing, this is extract only for now.
- Use DCOPY or ARC for that.
- 5. Of course, it does not create archives, again, use DCOPY or ARC for that.
