---------------------------------
Extract InstallShield v3 archives
---------------------------------
:Manual section: 1
:Manual group: SlackBuilds.org
:Date: |date|
:Version: |version|
SYNOPSIS
========
isextract [*l*] *file.z*
isextract [*x*] *file.z* [*output-dir*]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**isextract** is a command line tool to extract the .Z InstallShield v3
packages many old windows games were distributed as.
The files **isextract** supports normally have a **.Z** extension, and can be
idenfified by the **file**\(1) command:
::
$ file data.z
data.z: InstallShield Z archive Data
...or by the hex signature at the start of the file:
::
$ head -c6 data.z | xxd
00000000: 135d 658c 3a01 .]e.:.
OPTIONS
=======
**l**
List contents of archive.
**x**
Extract archive. If an *output-dir* is given, extracted files will be written
there (the *output-dir* must already exist). Without *output-dir*, the current
directory is used.
If **file** says "compress'd data" or similar, your file isn't an
InstallShield archive; it's compressed with the old UNIX compress
command, and can be extracted with **uncompress**\(1) or **gzip**\(1).
When extracting, **isextract** *DOES NOT* preserve the directory structure
inside the archive. All files are written to the same directory. If you
need the directories, use **unshieldv3** instead.
