-x Expand a Compressed File
This option will expand any files you have compressed with PKLITE. When you
use this option, the file will be returned to its original size. You can
rename and/or relocate a file when you expand it by using the
[[d:][path] Outfile] option on the command line.
C:\> PKLITE -x FILE.EXE A:
In the example shown above, the compressed file FILE.EXE will be expanded and
the expanded file will be located on the A: drive.
After a compressed file is expanded, PKLITE will display several important
facts. PKLITE will list the name of the compressed file, original
(compressed) size of the file, and the expanded size of the file. The output
file and location will also be listed if appropriate. An example is shown
below.
C:\> PKLITE -x FILE1.EXE FILE2
Expanding: FILE1.EXE into file FILE2.EXE
Original Size: 12299 Expanded Size: 18466
NOTE: The expand option can be used with the following options:
-b Create Backup file
-o Overwrite option
-u Update time/date
When the -x option is used with the -b option, a backup of the compressed
version of the file will be created with a .BAK extension.
When the -x option is used with the -o option, PKLITE will overwrite any
same-named files without prompting you for confirmation.
You can also use the -x option along with the -u Update option to update to
the current time and date when expanding a file. (If you used the -u Update
time/date option when you compressed the program, then when you expand it,
it will retain the new time and date. The time/date does not return to the
original value.)
