Cnvrt v.1.0 Pat Anderson Registration $10.00
UTIL MAY90 ARC ZIP LZH PAK ZOO ARCHIVE CONVERSION
FILES: cnvrt10.sdn
New
CNVRT exists to automate the process of converting archived
files from one archiving method to another. Supported
methods are ARC, ZIP, PAK, LZH and ZOO. In the command line
mode, it allows you to convert a single file or all files in
a directory from one method to another. In the pick list
mode, it allows you to select files to be converted from a
list by marking them.
CNVRT merely manages the process by invoking the archive
management programs - it does not actually perform any
unarchiving or rearchiving of files itself. It follows the
same process you would most likely use to accomplish the same
result manually. No installation or configuration is
necessary.
The general form of the command line is:
CNVRT [Source filename] [TO] [Target method]
If you start CNVRT with no command line arguments, it will
default to the Pick List mode. In Pick List mode, you simply
use the arrow keys to move a light bar through a list of
choices, and press the Spacebar to select your choice.
Hardware requirements: any IBM PC or compatible, hard drive
recommended.
Other requirements: DOS 2.x or higher, and the following
additional programs:
PKARC.EXE ARC archiver
PKXARC.EXE ARC unarchiver
PKZIP.EXE ZIP archiver
PKUNZIP.EXE ZIP unarchiver
PAK.EXE PAK archiver/unarchiver
LHARC.EXE LZH archiver/unarchiver
ZOO.EXE ZOO archiver/unarchiver
The PK programs are from Phil Katz, PKWare. PAK is from
Nogate Consulting. LHARC is from Yoshi. ZOO is from Rahul
Dhesi. All are widely available from BBSes and other
P.D./Shareware distribution sources.
