Pack.exe is a simple shell that allows multiple files to be compressed using COMPRESS.EXE supplied with Visual Basic Professional 2.0. This utility is very useful when preparing distribution disks for use with the Setup utility supplied by Microsoft. Pack automatically renames the compressed file(s) (example: test.txt to test.tx_), and the compressed file(s) will be placed in the same directory as the source files. Files are selected by a common dialog file selection box allowing multiple selections. There is a limit to the number of filenames that may be passed to compress.exe, and if you exceed the limit, an error message will be generated and you may reselect a smaller number of files. This product is freeware.
