PMEXT
An LZH archive is unpacked on the MSX with PMEXT. If you do not have
it, download PMEXT222.COM (16 KB). It is PMEXT
as its author distributed it: a program that, when run, writes PMEXT
itself, PMEXT.COM, and its documentation, PMEXT2.DOC, into the
current directory.
Copy PMEXT222.COM to the MSX, go to the directory where you want
PMEXT, type pmext222, and answer Y when it asks Extract? (Y/N).
Then move PMEXT.COM to a directory on the PATH, so that it can be
run from anywhere, and delete PMEXT222.COM.
A:\>pmext222The text before the question is in Japanese. On an MSX that is not in
kanji mode it appears as random characters; this is expected, and the
answer is still Y.
PMext 2.22 is © 1990, 1991 ぺぱあみんと★すたあ (Yoshihiko Mino). It is
free software, distributed here unmodified, as it was published in the
collection MSXフリーソフトウェア100選 (disk 1). Its conditions of
distribution, in Japanese, are in PMEXT2.DOC: among them, that it is
distributed free of charge, unmodified and with its documentation, and
not used for commercial purposes.
