-b   Make Backup .BAK File of Original

This option will create a backup file of the original uncompressed file with a
.BAK extension. The file will be located in the same directory as the original
file.

If you use the -b option when a file with the same name as the source file and
a .BAK extension already exists at the destination, it will be overwritten.

If an output file is specified with the -b option, the -b option will be
ignored.

         C:\GAMES> PKLITE  -b  GAME.EXE

In the example shown above, the  program  GAME.EXE will  be compressed, and  a
backup of the original file called GAME.BAK will be created and located in the
GAMES directory.


You can also retain the original file in its uncompressed state by specifying a
destination file  on the command line by using the [[d:][path] Outfile] option.
By using  this feature, you  rename the compressed  file  and retain the source
file in its original form.

         C:\PK> PKLITE  PROG.COM  PROGCMP.COM

In  this  example, the file  PROG.COM  will be  compressed and  the  compressed
version  of the file  will  be  named PROGCMP.COM.  By  renaming  the file, the
uncompressed  version of the file (PROG.COM)  will be retained  in its original
form.
