To expand a file: /e:SOURCEFILE>DESTPATH /p Parameter Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /e: This tells PackIt! that you want to expand SOURCEFILE to the directory listed in DESTPATH SOURCEFILE This is the name AND path of the file you wish to expand. These files usually end with a "_" .(Example C:\AUTOEXEC.BA_) > This separates the SOURCEFILE from the DESTPATH. IT IS REQUIRED!!! DESTPATH This is the directory where you want the compressed file expanded to. /p Prompt for destination filename. This causes PackIt! to display a dialog box for each of the files you wish to expand asking for the destination filename. This parameter is OPTIONAL. EXAMPLE: The command, "/e:C:\AUTOEXEC.BA_>D:\", (DO NOT TYPE QUOTES) would expand the file C:\AUTOEXEC.BA_ to D:\AUTOEXEC.BAT (Assuming the file was compressed using the -r parameter, otherwise it would be uncompressed as D:\AUTOEXEC.BA_. When in doubt use the /p paramter to prompt for the filename.). 2. To compress a file: /c:SOURCEFILE>DESTPATH Parameter Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /c: SOURCEFILE This is the name AND path of the file you wish to compress. (Example D:\AUTOEXEC.BAT) > This separates the SOURCEFILE from the DESTPATH. IT IS REQUIRED!!! DESTPATH This is the directory where you want the uncompressed file compressed to. EXAMPLE: The command, "/c:D:\AUTOEXEC.BAT>A:\", (DO NOT TYPE QUOTES) would compress the file D:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to A:\AUTOEXEC.BA_. (NOTE: PackIt! ALWAYS uses the -r option for compressing files.) ================================================================== History of Changes ================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------ Version Date Description ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.11.04 9-29-93 Corrected a problem with THREED.VBX.
