            ========================================================


     PURPOSE

        ZPUnpackZC  was  designed  to  make  the  handling  of ZCONNECT(tm)
     netcall  buffer archives easier.  It will unpack archives and join all
     data  into  one  single  file  which  can be imported automatically by
     "Zodiac's Point", Version 3.6 or better.


     REQUIREMENTS

        OS 2.04 or better.


     TEMPLATE

        The template is FROM/A,TO/K,TEMPDIR/K,UNPACK/K,KB=BUFFERS/K/N.  The
     template slots currently default to:

             TO      = PUFFER
             TEMPDIR = T:
             UNPACK  = LhA x "%s" "%s"
             BUFFERS = 64

        Note  that ZPUnpackZC will create a subdirectory in TEMPDIR so that
     the  other  contents of this directory will remain unchanged.  BUFFERS
     defines  the  number  of I/O buffers, each of which has a size of 1024
     bytes.  If you define a different UNPACK command, make sure to include
     two %s slots.  The first one will contain the archive name (FROM), the
     second will be filled with the name of the temporary directory created
     by ZPUnpackZC.


     USAGE

        Add  ZPUnpackZC  to  your  command  path  or  copy it into the same
     directory where your copy of "Zodiac's Point" resides in.  Then, alter
     the  ZP  config  for  the  unpack command to "ZPUnpackZC %s" (add more
     options if necessary) and you're done.

     HISTORY

        V36.1  Initial release.

        V36.2  Bugfix.   V36.1 was unable to remove the temporary directory
     if  the directory was on a permanent storage device (hard disk, floppy
     disk or similar).

        V36.3  Faster file I/O routines introduced.
