  SELF-EXTRACTING FILES ACROSS MULTIPLE DISKETTES

  PKZIP 2 has the ability to compress a large .ZIP file across multiple
  diskettes.

  Self-extracting files CAN NOT span multiple disks.  This would make the
  PKSFX code extremely large.

  A simple batch file can be created that would uncompress across multiple
  diskettes.  All that would be required is to have the batch file follow
  this procedure:

     1.  Create a batch file called install.bat
     2.  Edit install.bat and in that file have the following line:

         pkunzip -d a:program c:\test

  This batch file would create the directory C:\TEST on your computer and
  then unzip the file called PROGRAM.ZIP into the c:\test directory.
  PKUNZIP will prompt the user to enter the diskettes in the extraction
  order.
