-
-
- Requires PkUnzip.exe & scan.exe
- Put these programs in a directory listed in your path.
-
- Program Description:
-
- Fast Inflate is to be used to automatically Unzip all files with
- the extension ZIP in the current directory. The contents of each
- zip file will be put into it's own subdirectory.
-
- How the program works:
- 1. The program will look for all filenames with the extension .ZIP
- in the current directory.
-
- 2. When the first file is found, it's name will be read and stored
- in a search record. A subdirectory will be created with the same
- name as the zip file.
-
- 3. The contents of the zip file will be uncompressed into this
- subdirectory.
-
- 4. The program will then look for the next zip file and so on.
-
- 5. If you also want to scan the executable files contained in the
- zip files, just type [ fasti scan ] or [ fasti s ]
- When all the files are unzipped, scan.exe will scan all the files
- in all the new directories created by fasti.
- Scan will be executed as "scan /sub /nomem /bell".
-
- Press the escape key at any time to cancel and return to dos.
- When the program executes Pkunzip, it uses only the -n and -d
- paramaters.
- -n extracts only newer files. This way if you are in a directory
- that you ran the program in before, it will just skip the files
- that have already been extracted into a subdirectory.
- -d restores the directory structure if any, that is storred in the
- zip file.
-
-
- Feel free to rename the program to something easier to type.
- I use I.exe
-
- Who needs it?
- Anyone who calls BBS's
- As soon as I exit my comm program I usually go to my download
- directory and take a look at all the zip files I just downloaded.
- Fast Inflate makes it simple to try out your new programs.
- Just go to your download directory and type fasti to run the program.
- All the programs will now be uncompressed into their own subdirectory
- for you to look at or try out. If you decide to keep the programs
- you can move them somewhere else or delete them if you don't like
- them. After checking out new programs I usually move all the new zips
- to my upload directory and leave my download directory empty for the
- next time I call a BBS.
-
- This program can also be used in a batch file so everything runs
- automatically. Maybe something like this.
-
- @echo off
- cd\qmodem
- qmodem
- cd\qmodem\downloads
- fasti s
- copy *.zip c:\qmodem\uploads
- del *.zip
-
-
- If you are using a dos shell, make sure you have enough memory to run
- the scan program.
-
- Try it out for yourself, I think you'll like how much easier it makes
- BBSing.
-
- This program is freeware for those who don't have any extra money for
- registrations. Use the program as long as you like. If you are able to
- make a small donation towards the development of more programs, please
- see the mail.me file. If you have already made a donation for a
- previous version of this program, it is not necessary to donate again.
- Thank you.
