ZPP3.04r1 - What a PITA to unpack in a VM! Long story short, I have no way to make 9 physical floppies. Extracted all files from each *.IMG to a common dir. Ran "ZTCSETUP.EXE". If I tell it I'm installing from "C", it insists the destination DRIVE\DIR must be a higher letter - D, E, X, etc. 7zip, WinRAR ISArc don't know what compression tool makes *.ZTC files.
I don't have all day to fiddle with this s**t.


Here's the down and dirty fix - DO unpack all files into a common DIR.

Make a BATch file that contains this line:

for %%x in (*.ZTC) do INSTALL.COM %%x

That will use the included (thankfully) commandline unpacker.

After, move those source files out to some new location, and start using ZCPP.
