***

PKK is a command line program for the purpose of manual creation of 
Chief's Installer Pro-32 LZSS archives. 

USAGE
-----
Syntax = PKK <Src> [Dest] [Switches]

The supported switches are:
[/U /A[/R[1] [/SFX <Stub>] /C[0,1] [[/SPAN [/DS:<size>]] /XA /X[/CRC+]
[/F:spec] [/R-] /V [/S:<passwd>]

LEGEND
------
No switch = Compress a single file (Src) to Dest
              e.g.  PKK BIG.EXE SMALL.LZZ
              
 /U       = Decompress a single file (Src) to Dest
              e.g.  PKK SMALL.LZZ BIG.EXE /U
              
 /A       = Compress and Archive the files (Src) into Archive (Dest)
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* TEMP.PKK /A
              (Max = 8192 files in Archive)
              
 /R       = Recurse through directory structure (for archives)

 /R1      = Recurse into 1st level directories (for archives)
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* TEMP.PKK /A /R

 /S:      = Supply a password for the archive
              e.g.  PKK *.EXE TEMP.PKK /A /R /S:Freddy_Smith

 /SFX     = Archive files to a self-extracting .EXE, supplying the SFX stub
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* TEMP.EXE /SFX C:\LZ\STUB.EXE /R

 /C[0,1]  = Use No-compression/Fast-compression for archives
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* TEMP.PKK /A /C1

 /SPAN    = Create an archive that spans across (floppy) disks
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* A:\TEMP.PKK /A /SPAN
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* TEMP.EXE /SFX C:\LZ\STUB.EXE /SPAN /R 

 /DS:     = Set the size (in bytes) of the (floppy) disks for spanned archive
              e.g.  PKK C:\TEMP\*.* A:\TEMP.PKK /A /SPAN /DS:728000

 /X       = Decompress an LZ Archive (Src) into directory (Dest)
              e.g.  PKK TEMP.PKK C:\TEMP /X

 /X /R-   = Decompress an LZ Archive - don't recursively create directories
              e.g.  PKK TEMP.PKK C:\TEMP /X /R-

 /X /CRC+ = Decompress an LZ Archive, and perform CRC checks on the files
              e.g.  PKK TEMP.PKK C:\TEMP /X /CRC+

 /XA      = Extract the LZ archive (Dest) from SFX file (Src)
              e.g.  PKK TEST.EXE TEST.PKK /XA

 /V       = Show contents of an LZ Archive (Src)
              e.g.  PKK TEMP.PKK /V

 /F:      = Process only these file specifications
              e.g.  PKK TEMP.PKK /V /F:*.txt

**** NOTES: ****
1. The ChiefPro LZSS archive format is proprietary and is *NOT* compatible with other 
LZ archive formats.

2. PKK.EXE is a console mode Win32 program, and so will not run under DOS or 
Windows 3.1x.

3. PKK.EXE is 100% compatible with the LZSS archives created by the ChiefPro IDE, or my
freeware LZA program, as far as viewing the archive contents, and extracting files 
from the archives are concerned. However, the password protection mechanism of LZA is 
different from that used in PKK and the ChiefPro IDE.

PKK.EXE is supplied AS IS - and WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES  WHATSOEVER. It is not 
an integral part of Chief's Installer Pro-32, and is supplied, as an extra, only 
as a result of a specific request. You use it ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. 

If these terms are not acceptable to you, then you have no license to use
