Unzipping files on the Zoomer - The Kludgy batch file method.

Using File Manager, create a folder on your Zoomer for your Zip file work area. I'd suggest a folder named "ZIP" in your DOCUMENT folder.

Using whatever method you use to transfer files, transfer PKUNZJR.COM to your Zoomer (into your Zip file work area).

Create a text file (either on another computer or using the AOL Lite editor) named "ZDRIVER.BAT" (contents listed below) and put the file in your Zip file work area.

Contents of "ZDRIVER.BAT":
for %%x in (*.zip) do pkunzjr -o %%x

Now, to unzip your *.zip files, put them in your Zip file work area and double tap ZDRIVER.BAT.

**WARNING** All of the Zip files in your work area will be unzipped. Make sure that you don't have duplicate names across the contents of your zip files. (If you include the -o parameter in ZDRIVER.BAT, your older files will be overwritten by the newer files. If you omit the -o parameter, PKUNZJR will prompt you to verify if you want the file overwritten. At that point, you have no keyboard control so you can't respond -- your only option is to reboot the computer using the reset switch in the battery compartment.)

Happy unzipping ^2.
