or specific files from specific packages in the archive, or
the install script.

wic arc -x {[pckno] [fmask]}...

.
Note that this will only extract files. This is not the same
as a full install using WARPIN.EXE
, since the database
is not modified, and no system configuration is performed.
If pckno
(a decimal number) is specified,
this will restrict extraction to the specified package number(s). If
no package number is specified, all packages will be extracted.
If fmask
is specified, this will restrict extraction
to the specified file mask.
This supports the ?
and *
wildcards and

(i.e. all files).
wic arc -X
will extract the install script
from the archive.
