I thought so! << │ │ Ok, each .VOL (see the list in ALL.BAT) contains │ │ several dozens pictures. │ │ │ │ To extract all pictures from .VOL files, run ALL.BAT │ │ and to view all extracted pictures run V-ALL.BAT. │ │ Caution: there are A LOT of pictures all together │ │ so you better have some disk space + a disk cache for │ │ speed installed. │ │ │ │ There are some .VOL that contain other gfx, like frames │ │ cinematic sequences, etc. They are not in ALL.BAT. │ │ Also, some pics seem to repeat (TDD screw up?). │ │ │ │ All extracted picture files are named like this: │ │ 'K*.0??' so you can delete them with 'DEL K*.0??' when │ │ you are done. │ │ │ │ Some more hints: │ │ Use VIEW.BAT to view individual K*.0?? pictures. │ │ Use V-ALL.BAT to view all pictures. │ │ │ │ use KX-PIC.COM on .VOL files (see the list of .VOL's │ │ containing pictures in ALL.BAT) to extract all pics from│ │ this .VOL (pictures filenames will be in K*.0xx format).│ │ │ │ Note: to view pic's you need INSTALL?.* config files │ │ in the directory wheren KX-VIEW.EXE is located. │ │ │ │ Excuse my a bit cryptic instructions.. -Misha │ │ │ │ P.S. Be sure to grab XENTAR TRAINER by The Punisher │ │ released yesterday! │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -=INFINITY=- │ │ mAIN cOUNCEL │ │ │ │ President/coder/packager - The Punisher │ │ Senior coordinator/coder/packager - Nut Case │ │ Senior coder/cracker - Misha │ │ Cracker/coder - Blade Runner │ │ PPE's - The Master -=THT=- The Hard Times │ │ Senior courier/distro cooridnator - Captain Blood │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -=INFINITY/TIA/TICN=- │ │ CODERS │ │ │ │ Misha, The Punisher, Blade Runner │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -=INFINITY/TIA/TICN=- │ │ Documentation │ │ │ │ Muting │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -=TICN=- │ │ tHE iNSANE cOURIERS nETWORK │ │ SPREADING TEAM │ │ │ │ THiRD SoN, Bush Whacker, Quantum Mechanic, │ │ Alien Son, Criminal Behaviour, Maximum Carnage, │ │ Vortex, Inferno │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -=INFINITY/TIA/TICN=- │ │ SITES: │ │ Board: Nodes/Speed Sysop: Aff: │ │ │ │ The Insane Asylum -=TIA=- 2 / 288 - Nut Case WHQ │ │ The Punishers Warzone 1 / 288 - The Punisher HQ App site │ │ Flying Cows Castle 3 / 288 - Bilbo NEHQ │ │ RockCreek 3 / 288 - THiRD SON SEHQ │ │ Motor Death 3 / 288 - KX80 CHQ │ │ Gangland Chicago 10 / 288 - GLC Staff Member Brd │ │ Black Opium 2 / 288 - Evilive Dist Site │ │ Mystical Runes 2 / 288 - Lord Viper Dist Site │ │ Jokers Place 2 / 288 - The Joker Dist Site │ │ BiG BoBBER's 2 / 288 - Alien Son Dist Site │ │ The Apoclypse 4 / 288 - Skunk Dist Site │ │ Your Board Here! ? / 288 - Kuel Sysop Dist Site │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Greetings To: -=TRSI=- -=PWA=- -=RAZOR=- -=TDT=- -=RTS=- Special Greetings to all who have helped iNFiNiTY in 1994, and very special greetings to: The Untimed...Sorry we missed on the SLIP Third Son.....Congrats on your -*- RAZOR -*- Promotion!
