Looking for program to unzip several files at once.

One of the things I miss most about having a DOS-based system is the
ability to dump several zipped files into a folder ("directory") and
invoke the old pkunzip command to unzip them all at once.

Is there a program for Win XP that will permit me to do this?

Thanks!

Info-ZIP's[1] freeware UnZip will do this. In the directory use:

for %I in (*.zip) do unzip -d "%~nI" "%~fI"

This will unzip all .zip files into a directory based on the file name,
i.e. unzip "test.zip"'s contents into "test".

I use Power Archiver which can do this. It's now shareware, but I think the
freeware version is still available.

PKUNZIP runs just fine in a DOS window under XP.

Unziplify, with options to unzip all zipped files in a folder either to a
single "Unziplified" subfolder, or to individual subfolders for each
zipfile.

I've used just about all of the Freeware archive programs, and if I remember
correctly, all of them will extract multiple files simultaneously. In
Explorer, select all the zip files. Right drag to the folder in which you
want to extract, and select "Extract here".

I highly recommend 7Zip and IZArc.
 
Simply use the king app for compressed files: WinRar

www.rarlab.com

1. Select all files U want to UnRar/UnZip
2. Right click---->choose exctract here or Extract files...
3. That's all! :)
