However, you must still use Expand when working with compressed
files??”those that have an underscore as part of their file extension. For example, you??™d always
use Expand to expand a file named MyApp.EX_ to MyApp.EXE. To make things easier for administrators,
WinZIP has a command line add-in (http://www.winzip.com/prodpagecl.htm) that you can
use much like the Expand utility for a much broader range of compressed file types. Even so, you??™ll still
find that you need the Expand utility, in some cases, such as when you use the recovery console, simply
because it??™s the only tool available.
PERFORMING ADVANCED FILE COMPARISON WITH THE FC UTILITY 367
Source Name of the compressed file. The Expand utility works with single compressed files
(those with an underscore in the file extension) and CAB files. It doesn??™t work with newer MSI,
ZIP, or other compressed files.
Destination Name of the uncompressed file when working with a single file. The destination
folder for the uncompressed files when working with a CAB file.
-r Renames the destination filenames based on the source filename. For example, when you
supply MyApp.EX_ as the source filename, Expand automatically uses MyApp.
