A "self-extracting archive" is an executable program (in this case, for PC DOS machines) that when executed extracts multiple files from an archive within itself, and stores them on a disk specified by you. Usage: OSG10A50 [options] [d:path] [file...] Options are: -o = overwrite existing files -t = test zipfile integrity -n = extract only newer files -e = extract files (default) d:path = Output drive and/or path. file = Name(s) of files to extract. Wildcards *,? ok. Default is ALL files. If you just type the drive and filename of the archive the files will be extracted into your current directory. You will probably want a separate directory for each archive, just to keep things straight. For example, if the archives are on a floppy in drive A, then: you could do something like this: c: md \yao md \yao\osgml md \yao\poem md \yao\rast a:osg10a50 c:\yao\osgml a:ras10a22 c:\yao\rast
