- Seems that no-one else suggested this. Use the "novice" command -extract
- None of these are case sensitive so they will work on both the command line
- or dialog box. Syntax is
-
- -extract archvename file.....
-
- And there is a difference between zoo h & zoo H. Look carefully. H gives
- *much* more info & does not include the novice commands.
- Here is the first `page' of each command
-
-
-
- zoo h
