Hi there everyone. I found myself faced with the dilemma of
upgrading all my old archives on floppy disks to PKZip 2.04c.
I wrote this batch file to help me accomplish the task. The
program will convert a .zip file on a floppy disk to whatever
version of PKZip you have on your path. To run it, type:
"Zip2new" <floppy drive letter> <hard drive letter>.
The program uses your hard drive to unzip the programs on and
repackage them. It will delete all traces of itself on your
harddrive. It uses a working directory "/xxxx" so if you
already have a directory with this name, just edit the files
to another directory name which isn't on your hard drive. Both
the files Zip2new.bat and convert.bat are needed to run the
program.
I wrote this program for fun and would love to hear any
suggestions from people on how it could have been better or if
there is an easier or better way that anyone may think of to do
the same task. I can be reached at mark.kerr@rose.com. Hope
this helps make your lives a little easier!
