The "shar" (shell archive) script in this folder will create: ******************************************************* * * * SELF-EXTRACTING VBS SCRIPTS * * * ******************************************************* The VBS script files created by this script should (should!) be able to run on any system that has scripting installed AND has been set up so as to allow scripts to run (Some corporate and school computers are set up to disable all scripts). Scripting is standard on Win98 and newer Microsoft operating systems. VBS files created by this script will be approximately three times larger than the original file. The script files will have a maximum line length of 75 bytes, making it possible to copy and paste the VBS text directly into the body of an email. The person on the receiving end would copy and paste the batch text back into a VBS file to retrieve the original file. If you wish to embed several files into one multi-file VBS archive, first create separate archives for each file. The copy and paste all the main code sections into one file. The main code section in each file begins with: 'This script and ends with: ts.Close The multi-file VBS archive should also contain one copy of the the "BrowseForFolder" function and the "Hex2File" subroutine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- All three files contain the same code. Download the most convenient one. Downloading Notes: VBS FILE IE may try to run the VBS file instead of downloading it! You'll have to right-click and select "Save Link" or "Save Target" to save the file to your hard drive. TXT FILE Be sure to save the downloaded file with a VBS file extension. If your Windows has the default behavior of hiding file extensions, you will have to quote the file name. For example, don't save it as test.vbs, but as "test.vbs". Using quotes forces Windows to honor your file extension. ZIP FILE No problems. The zip file may (or may not) contain other information or directions.
