- Cnvrt v.1.0 Pat Anderson Registration $10.00
- UTIL MAY90 ARC ZIP LZH PAK ZOO ARCHIVE CONVERSION
- FILES: cnvrt10.sdn
-
- New
-
- CNVRT exists to automate the process of converting archived
- files from one archiving method to another. Supported
- methods are ARC, ZIP, PAK, LZH and ZOO. In the command line
- mode, it allows you to convert a single file or all files in
- a directory from one method to another. In the pick list
- mode, it allows you to select files to be converted from a
- list by marking them.
-
- CNVRT merely manages the process by invoking the archive
- management programs - it does not actually perform any
- unarchiving or rearchiving of files itself. It follows the
- same process you would most likely use to accomplish the same
- result manually. No installation or configuration is
- necessary.
-
- The general form of the command line is:
-
- CNVRT [Source filename] [TO] [Target method]
-
- If you start CNVRT with no command line arguments, it will
- default to the Pick List mode. In Pick List mode, you simply
- use the arrow keys to move a light bar through a list of
- choices, and press the Spacebar to select your choice.
-
