Is there a 'front end' for Pkzip for OS/2 (which can still be downloaded from Hobbes at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/archiver/pkos2250.exe ). I am not talking about the one mentioned in the news article (main page of OS/2 World) but asking if there are any others.Can one make a 'front end' for Pkzip for OS/2 using DrDialog?
Well a very simple unzip front end in rexx:
/* Open directory in wps */
call RxFuncAdd 'Sysopenobject', 'RexxUtil', 'Sysopenobject'
say arg(1)
curdir = directory(.)
unzipdir='d:\tcpip\tmp\unzip'
say unzipdir
error=SysMkDir(unzipdir)
rc=sysopenobject(unzipdir,icon,true)
rc=sysopenobject(unzipdir,icon,true)
fileit = directory(unzipdir)
unzip arg(1)
exit
Just change the unzipdir to meet your needs and change the unzip arg(1) to the appropriate pkzip arguments.
