Description:
I already a VB6 program working that copies files using the command:
FileCopy SourceDir & CpFile(X), DestDir & CpFile(X)
The problem is that some of the files I am trying to copy are in what I think is a compressed format. The file appears as:
filename.DL_
I know this should be a DLL file, but some of the extensions I am not sure what they should be.
I need the code that will decompress or extract these files, after the copy command.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
needs to work in all windows platforms from 95 to XP
Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:
Feb 8, 2003 EDT

Are these files from an Microsoft package? If so, I have a DOS mode program that does what you are asking. It would be a simple matter to convert it to a Windows based program.
What the (DOS) program does:
1 - Reads a list of files from the A: drive.
2 - Determines if the file is compressed, based on extension.
3 - If the file is a compressed file, it is extracted to the target directory.
4 - if the file is not compressed, it is copied directly.
Sound about right?
Thanks,
Derek A. Wirch

Not sure if my last message came through or not, so am re-sending.
The program would be an all in one solution. The DOS mode program was written before the sands of time began to flow, and was hardwired for the the filenames it picked.
The program (see prototype screenshot) that I would write for you would automatically pick up the filenames from the directory of your choice, then copy and/or decompress the files to the directory of your choice.
Thanks,
