usage:
══════
E_WISE <WISE-Setup-EXE> <target directory>
example:
E_WISE M:\SETUP.EXE E:\TEST
The idea for E_WISE comes from EXWISE / Andrew de Quincey
(adq@tardis.ed.ac.uk, http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~adq).
my version
- reimplemented in Pascal
- can handle more WISE-versions
- can retrive filenames and date/time
after program usage you will find in target directory:
- ????????.EWI: unpacked data
- 00000000.TXT: reference of ????????.EWI and quessed filename
- 00000000.BAT, (DOS) \ to rename ????????.EWI
00000000.CMD: (OS/2) / and move to subdirectories
problems:
═════════
* HPFS filesystem recommended (long file/directory names)
* thhere exist packages where one filename is used multiple times
(example: multilingual README.TXT)
* if you want unpack an executable sliced onto muliple diskettes
you must rebuild one singe file for E_WISE:
copy A:\setup.exe s.exe
copy /b s.exe + A:\setup.w01
copy /b s.exe + A:\setup.w02
and then unpack
e_wise s.exe x\
Frequently asked question: Can you help me making an setup.exe from unpacked
files ? The problem is not the compression procedure (zip/inflate), but the
data format of the directory file. It differs each version. And i do not
want my time spend for an user unfriendly archive format/target platform.
