Once a user has the unzip program, this small basic program is useful 
for unzipping QL files. Without bothering with anything else, or having 
to know the unzip command syntax.

I believe it came to "C-Tutor".


100 REMark        UNARC_BAS
110 REMark
120 REMark   This program is used to run unzip in a simple extract mode
130 :
140 CLS#0
150 PRINT#0,"Please answer following questions"\"(or press ENTER to 
accept [default])"\\
160 devd$=DATAD$
170 INPUT#0,"Which device holds the UNZIP2 program [" & PROGD$ & "]:
";progdev$
180 IF progdev$ = "" THEN progdev$ = PROGD$
190 INPUT#0,"Which device holds the ZIP'ed file [" & DATAD$ & 
"]:";arcdev$
200 IF arcdev$ ="":arcdev$ = DATAD$
210 INPUT#0,"What is name of the archive [C_Tutor_zip]:";arcname$
220 IF arcname$ ="":arcname$ = "C_Tutor_zip"
230 INPUT#0,"Where should the extracted files be put [" & DATAD$ &
"]:";datadev$
240 IF datadev$ ="":datadev$ = DATAD$
250 DATA_USE datadev$
260 EW progdev$ & "unzip";arcdev$ & arcname$
270 DATA_USE devd$
280 :
290 DEFine PROCedure S
300 DELETE "win1_SYS_Unzip_bas"
310 SAVE "win1_SYS_Unzip_bas"
320 END DEFine
