Have you ever stumbled across a .ZIP kind of archive ? It is commonly used
on the PC, but there IS an Amiga version... Only one problem... UNZIP
uses the current directory to unzip, so click'n'click is of litle use
if you are an OPUS addict...

NOT ANYMORE ! Here is the sollution : (hold on to your heads, its a
BIIIG one)


This is how to do it:

Start the config-editor ( <-;), go to FILETYPES, and add the .zip 
as a filetype (if it isn't in the list already, all you do is create
a new filetype, and "MATCHNAME #?.zip" )

---------------------------------------
In filetypes, pick          Action      Click-m-click

NEW ENTRY's AmigaDOS    c:makedir ram:zip
            AmigaDOS    c:copy {fu} to ram:zip/test.zip
            AmigaDOS    c:cd ram:zip
            AmigaDOS    c:unzip test.zip
            AmigaDOS    c:delete ram:zip/test.zip quiet
            AmigaDOS    c:copy ram:zip/#? all {d}
            Command     FinishSection
            AmigaDOS    c:echo "deleting obsolete files..."
            AmigaDOS    c:delete ram:zip all quiet


flags : Do all files
        Output window
        Rescan destination


---------------------------------------

you will need makedir, copy, cd, unzip, delete and echo in the c: directory.
I did not include UNZIP, it is just to large for my intentions...

---------------------------------------

What happens is that the zip-file is copied to your ram: disk, in a new
and empty directory, unzipped there, and all the unzipped files will be
copied to the destination path...

I know of one more programm that doesn't support unpacking to a specific
destination, HPACK, and you can use exactly the same trick for that one. In
fact you can use this one for EVERY archiver that doesn't support unpacking
to a destination...

                      
Let me know what you think, and if you use it (and why not...?).
