Extract 1.0


Extracting file from disk image
Extract is a file in disk image extraction utility. An image is a file which 
contains all the floppy data (file, FATs, boot sector, directory...). You can 
create an image file with WinImage (a Windows 3.1 or Windows NT 
shareware I wrote which create and manage image file, and has a 
superset of Extract functionnality) and a lot of Dos based disk copy 
utility : Wimage (in FdFormat utility) from C.H. Hochstätter, DrDos 6 and 
OS/2 2.x diskimage utility, DCF (Disk Copy Fast) from Chang Ping Lee, 
DF (Disk Image File Utility) from Mark Vitt, Super-DiskCopy from Super 
Software, SabDu from S.A. Berman, Disk-RW from K. Hartnegg, 
DiskDupe (from Micro System Design), internal disk Microsoft and Lotus 
image utility and MFMT sample Windows NT application given with 
Windows NT SDK.

80 % of the diskcopy tools which can make image I test are compatible 
with Extract and WinImage.

Note that WinImage read all the image file created by these software, except 
DiskDupe (this will be fixed in WinImage 1.10).

Extract syntax is based on PKUNZIP and ARJ model.
First parameter must be -l, -e, -o, -x, -oe or -ox. If the first parameter is 
the image filenale, the -l (list option) is selected.
Second parameter is the image filename. You can use wildcard with 
Joker, and Extract use all the file it find with this joker.
Third parameter is optionnal. It is the location where you want extract 
your file. You must begin this parameter with x:, where x is the drive. If 
you give only subdirectory name, extract don(t consider it as a eextract 
location information.
And after, you can specify somes wildcard for choose files in images. 
You don't specifiy it, Extract use all file in the image.

a subdirectory named DOC2R and which contain:
DOC2R\DOC2B.TXT


if we launch:
EXTRACT -L DISK?.IMA
Extract list the directory of the DISK1.IMA and DISK2.IMA image.

C:\REP1\DOC1A.TXT, C:\REP1\DOC2.TXT, C:\REP1\DOC2.DOC, 
C:\REP1\DOC2A.TXT, C:\REP1\DOC2B.TXT.
