05/03/04: v1.2 = Batches and registry sections rewritten. Removed extraction/decryption context/batch options for now. 04/30/04: v1.1 = Tweaked batches, added some more batch examples. Cleaned up this help file.
PACL v3.50 is a set of command-line archiving utilities distributed as shareware (30-day trial, $8) but free to registered PowerArchiver users ($20). It may be used in batch files. Because it's a free-standing CLI set, installation is quite simple. As an example of possible uses, I've added a "PACL-in-context" registry entry that places a context menu option to drive, directory, and folder right-clicks, as well as one menu generic batch and a hidden batch sample. They're not the slickest things, but serve only as general examples.
You can delete the entire registry section in the INF file if you don't want the context-menu options. The batch files and binaries below were added to the system32 path, and therefore may be used from any command line location; the manual (plaintext) was added to the menu.

PAEncode is a Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP console program that encodes files using UUEncode, XXEncode and Base64 methods.
