+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+unshieldv3 \fBinfo\fP \fIfile.z\fP
+.sp
+unshieldv3 \fBlist\fP [\fB\-v\fP] \fIfile.z\fP
+.sp
+unshieldv3 \fBextract\fP \fIfile.z\fP \fIoutput\-dir\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBunshieldv3\fP is a command line tool to extract the .Z InstallShield v3
+packages many old windows games were distributed as.
+.sp
+The files \fBunshieldv3\fP supports normally have a \fB\&.Z\fP extension, and can be
+identified by the \fBfile\fP(1) command:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+$ file data.Z
+data.z: InstallShield Z archive Data
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+\&...or by the hex signature at the start of the file:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+$ head \-c6 data.Z | xxd
+00000000: 135d 658c 3a01 .]e.:.
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+If \fBfile\fP says "compress\(aqd data" or similar, your .Z file isn\(aqt an
+InstallShield archive; it\(aqs compressed with the old UNIX compress
+command, and can be extracted with \fBuncompress\fP(1) or \fBgzip\fP(1).
+.sp
+When extracting, \fBunshieldv3\fP preserves the directory structure
+inside the archive. This is unlike \fBisextract\fP(1), which writes all
+the files in the same directory.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.sp
+Options may not be abbreviated.
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \fBinfo\fP
+Show archive metadata: number of files, compressed size, and
+uncompressed size.
+.TP
+.B \fBlist\fP
+List contents of archive. With \fB\-v\fP, shows the size and timestamp
+of each file.
+.TP
+.B \fBextract\fP
+Extract archive. \fIoutput\-dir\fP is required, but will not be created if
+it doesn\(aqt exist. Use \fB\&.\fP to extract to the current directory.
