ARCHIVE parameter, and Internet Explorer looks for a CAB
file using the CABBASE parameter.
JPack is a little DOS application I whipped up to automate the process
of building these archive files, and to help create the
APPLET tags to support them. Just give JPack a list of
packages, and it will do the rest.
JPack requires that you already have ZIP.EXE and
CABARC.EXE somewhere in your path (see below). It
won't work without these two applications.
The JPack application, which requires ZIP.EXE and
CABARC.EXE. Download jpack10.zip, or check out the readme.
InfoZip Zip 2.0.1
This version of Zip supports long file names and can be used from the
command line. Pkzip 2.04g doesn't cut it. ZIP.EXE can be
found in the InfoZip
library. You can find out more about the InfoZip library at its home page
Microsoft CabArc 1.0
Microsoft has released a tool to help automate the process of creating
CAB files. CABARC.EXE can be found in the Cab
Development Kit. Read all about it at Microsoft's Cab for Java
page.
