PURPOSE
ZIP Converter will change your version 1.1 ZIP archives to
version 2.04c. The program converts archives in a single
specified directory each time it is run. It is intended for
use on hard drives only. The new archives are created with
the -rP (recurse subdirectories) -o (set archive date to
earliest file date) and -ex (maximum compression ) options
(see PKZIP documentation for more information). ZIP Converter
will convert ZIP files within a ZIP file (one level only).
INSTRUCTIONS
Place ZIPCVT.EXE and the new versions of PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE
in the same directory. Run ZIPCVT from this directory only.
ZIP Converter is run from the DOS command line with a single paramter
in this form: zipcvt <directory-path>
Examples : "zipcvt c:" will convert archives in drive C's root directory
"zipcvt \progs\libs\bak" will do the conversion for all ZIP
files in \progs\libs\bak
NOTE: Zipcvt does not check for the version of the ZIP files it
converts. Don't convert the same directory twice! It will
do no harm other than waste time.
DISCLAIMER
ZIP Converter is provided "as is". Use at your own risk.
