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.

Hardware requirements:  any  IBM PC or compatible, hard drive
recommended.
