SELF-EXTRACTING FILES ACROSS MULTIPLE DISKETTES
PKZIP 2 has the ability to compress a large .ZIP file across multiple
diskettes.
Self-extracting files CAN NOT span multiple disks. This would make the
PKSFX code extremely large.
A simple batch file can be created that would uncompress across multiple
diskettes. All that would be required is to have the batch file follow
this procedure:
1. Create a batch file called install.bat
2. Edit install.bat and in that file have the following line:
pkunzip -d a:program c:\test
This batch file would create the directory C:\TEST on your computer and
then unzip the file called PROGRAM.ZIP into the c:\test directory.
PKUNZIP will prompt the user to enter the diskettes in the extraction
order.
