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. + +COPYRIGHT +========= + +See the file /usr/doc/isextract-|version|/LICENSE for license information. + +AUTHORS +======= + +isextract was written by OmniBlade. + +This man page written for the SlackBuilds.org project +by B.
