- Usage:
- SEES [wildcarded filename]
-
- SEES is an interactive program for viewing the contents of ZIP, ARC, PAK,
- LZH (LHA too), LBR, ZOO, DWC, HYP and ARJ archives. It also allows you to
- select certain files and extract them, optionally to a specified directory.
-
- SEES will first give you an alphabetically sorted file selection window,
- from which you can select the (ZIP-, ARC- etc.) archive you want to
- view/extract. (If you didn't specify a filename at the command line, that is).
-
- You can move around using the arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, HOME and END. Pressing
- a character will move the cursor to a file starting with that character.
- Pressing RETURN on a directory name will change to that directory.
- Using Ctrl-D, you can switch to other drives.
- Pressing RETURN on an archive will select that archive.
- ESC aborts the program.
-
- Once an archive is selected, you get a file-selection window for the files
- INSIDE the archive. At the start, all files are selected.
- You can move around using the arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, HOME and END.
- You can select/deselect files using the INS-key or the SPACEBAR.
- "+" selects all files, "-" deselects all files. ESC aborts.
-
- Pressing RETURN will cause the program to start extracting the selected
- files from the archive. If you want, you can extract them to a different
- directory (use F9 in that case).
-
- IMPORTANT:
- This program is based on SEE 2.4. I'm afraid it is rather simple as far as
- the extraction itself is concerned: it will just use existing de-archivers
- in a simple call. It will NOT locate these de-archivers: it assumes you
- have them, and assumes that they are stored in directories with occur in
- your PATH. The commands that are executed for different archives are:
-
- ZIP : PKUNZIP archive FILE(S)
- ARJ : ARJ e archive FILE(S)
- HYP : HYPER -x archive FILE(S)
- ARC : PKXARC -x archive FILE(S)
- PAK : PKXARC -x archive FILE(S)
- LZH : LHA e archive FILE(S)
- DWC : DWC x archive FILE(S)
- LBR : LUE archive FILE(S)
- ZOO : ZOO -e archive FILE(S)
-
- In future versions I'll arrange something better.
