- PMEXE,PMSFX,PMSET,PMCAT

- These are utilities for use with PMARC and PMEXT, a very effective
- CP/M archiver and extractor. Unfortunately, documentation for these
- programs was written in Kanji, which can only be read on MSX-2 or 2+
- computers which have a Kanji ROM. If you have one, you'll still have
- to translate it. Here are a few short notes on how to use the PM
- utilities, based on our experience.
-
-
- PMEXE
-
- This is a module which you can only use in combination with PMARC. It
- is used to make executable compressed COMfiles (just like LZEXE or
- PKLITE for MSDOS). To make such a file, type:
-
- PMARC <archive>.COM=PMEXE2.COM <filename> [options]
-
- The archive-name must be .COM, offcourse, not .PMA.
-
-
- PMSFX
-
- This module is also for use with PMARC. It is used to make self-
- extracting (SFX) archives, like this:
-
- PMARC <archive>.COM=PMSFX2.COM <filenames> [options]
-
- The archive-name must be .COM, not .PMA.
-
-
- PMSET
-
- This is a program with which you can set some default options in
- PMARC. Start up the program without arguments to get help.
-
-
- PMCAT
-
-
- This is a program with which you can update and catenate or delete
- files in PM- archives. Start up the program without arguments to
- get help.
-
-
- PMSET and PMCAT (just like PMEXT) will also work on .LZH archives
- made with the MSDOS archiver LHA 2.11, but don't count on LHA to
- be able to extract them afterwards.
