ZipALot Readme
==============

ZipALot Version 2.2

What's that?
============

Most of the unpack programs only can handle one ZIP file at once. 

ZipALot takes all the ZIP-files from one directory and extracts them to another one.
This is especially useful after you downloaded some warez and you have 50 ZIP files
to extract ;-) 

Filter options allow you to control the extraction process. 
Tell which ZIP files you want to extract, what files you want to have extracted from
the archives and which not. 

It's a simple task, to i.e. extract all *.jpg, *.gif and *.avi from your archives in
one directory, almost with a single click!

You can enter multiple filter rules in the "Extract" and "Don't extract" fields.
Separate them with a slash ("/").

An Example how to use these filter rules:

ZIP-files:      images*.zip
Extract:        *.jpg/*.jpeg/*.gif
Don't extract:  a*.jpg/a*.jpeg/a*.gif/b*.jpg/b*.jpeg/b*.gif

All ZIP-files that begin with "images" are processed (i.e. images1.zip, images2.zip,
imagesOld.zip...). All files with the extension jpg, jpeg and gif are extracted but
those beginning with a or b.
