Pkzip... grab it from Tucows or somewhere like that and run it from the command line.. Just cd to the zip files directory then type something like "pkzip -e *.zip" You can check the extract command by just typing pkzip at the prompt and it'll list the possible extensions. Hope that helps Ericd 07-15-2001, 09:01 PM Get WinRAR (http://www.rarsoft.com/), you can select all the zip files and extract them to a directory. atwist 07-15-2001, 09:08 PM i use Power Archiver and it works great. kwimberl 07-15-2001, 10:37 PM Norton came out with a utility a few years ago that does just that. I use it all the time. It's called Norton Unzip. I haven't upgraded it in years, so I can't remember what it cost. It was minimal if anything. jtan15 07-16-2001, 02:11 AM WebSnail.net's suggestion will work fine for Windows users. If you are doing this on a Unix machine, issuing a simple unzip *.zip will unzip every file named something.zip in the current directory. :) |
