ARJX - (C)opyright 1991-93 by ROSE Softwareentwicklung, Ralph Roth
============================================================================
Synopsis:
---------
■ ARJX - Program to extract 'archives' created with the program ARJ
v2.x (ARJ is Copyright by Robert K. Jung). ARJX was programmed to
supply an extractor for ARJ archives because distributing ARJ.EXE or
ARJSFX files requires registration of the ARJ software. ARJX can be
freely used to extract your .ARJ archives.
■ A program (MAKESFX) is supplied to create self-extracting EXE
files (see below).
Usage:

Commands:
---------
"e" extract command
This command extracts the contents of the ARJ archive to the
current directory. Files in the archive that already exist in the
current directory will be extracted after confirming. Wildcards or
multiple archives are supported!
"l" list command
This command lists the contents of the archive to the screen.
The last field on the display TPMGVX stands for:
T -> text/binary/directory/volume label type
P -> path information available in "l" listing
M -> compression method used
G -> file has been garbled (encrypted)
V -> archive has been continued to another volume
X -> this file is an extended portion of a larger file
If you are using wildcards you must use the "l" command!
Example: To list all files in all archives type: arjx l *.arj
"t" test command
This command tests the contents of the archive by extracting the
files to the NUL device (no data will be written to disk). The
compression method will although be shown. Wildcards are ok!
Example: arjx t a:*.arj c:\new\demo
"x" extract with pathnames command
This command extracts the contents of the ARJ archive to the
pathnames stored in the archive. If only filespecs are stored in the
archive, then the files will be extracted to the current directory.
ARJX will now **create** missing directories in the filenames. Note:
ARJX can now create directories with are nested. You can use the "t"
or "v" command to see the full pathnames stored in the archive.
Wildcards for archives are ok! Files in the archive that already exist
in the directories will be extracted after confirming.
"o" extract with pathnames command: overwrites files if they
already exists
This command extracts the contents of the ARJ archive to the
pathnames stored in the archive. Its identical to the "x" command,
except that existing files will be overwrited!
MAKESFX:
--------
This program can be used to create a self-extracting .EXE file from
an .ARJ file using the ARJX program as an self-extractor. This
self-extractor (SFX) is about 16000 bytes in size and supports full
pathname extraction. The SFX module does NOT support multiple volume
archives.
The SFX executable module is pre-compressed using LZEXE. This may
cause false indications with EXE scanning programs showing that an SFX
archive is a LZEXE compressed file. Only the executable header module
is LZEXE compressed. The LZEXE header is modified to avoid extraction
by UNLZEXE type programs. UNLZEXE may truncate an ARJ self-extractor
of its archive.
The default SFX command is "x" - extract files with pathnames. The
SFX will create absolute or relative directories depending upon whether
the root directory has been stored in the pathname of the archive. The
user extracting the SFX module can specify the "e" command to extract
files to the current directory. All commands of the ARJX program are
supported. A help screen can be invoked using the "/?" command.
DISTRUBUTION POLICY:
--------------------
ARJX, MAKESFX and the self-extracting modules are distributed as
BANNERWARE. This means you are free to use this programs without
paying any license to the author. BANNERWARE means although, that the
MAKESFX program, ARJX.EXE and ARJX.DOC may not be sold OR modified in
any way! If you 'share' ARJX with others, you ***MUST*** enclose this
document (ARJX.DOC), ARJX.EXE and the MAKESFX program - thanx a lot!
