Have a bunch of archives in .zip format from when storage was expensive. Is there a utility to unzip these in batch, so I need not do one-by-one?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerMay 24, 2010 at 5:41 am #1225342The command line version of 7-Zip (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7za465.zip or http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/9.13/7za913.zip/download for the latest bèta version) can be very useful for batch actions, from a command prompt or a batch file. It might take some time to figure out the required parameters, though.
7-Zip is free for both personal and commercial use.
