PKUnZip.EXE

VersaForm ships with a utility called "PKUnZip.exe". This program de-compresses or un-shrinks file created by PKZip.EXE. The "zipped" files take from 50% to 70% less space on a disk. The smaller files are likely to fit on a floppy disk easier and are a preferred format when sending files over phone lines.

To locate the utility from VersaForm:

At any screen in VersaForm press <Alt+U> to get the Utility Menu.

Select "Shell to DOS" and press <Enter>

You are now at the DOS prompt. The command to type at this point is:

pkunzip zipfilename pathtoputfiles

Where zipfilename = name of the zipped file

Where pathtoputfiles = the directory where you want the unzipped files placed.

For Example:

Pkunzip ledger.zip c:\vf\ledger\data

Will de-compress the files in "ledger.zip" and place them in the directory "c:\vf\data".

To get help on operating the program type:

Pkunzip /?

The program is available for download on the VersaForm BBS.
