I have a problem extracting files from floppy to specific location.

File is in .RAR and is on floppy, along with RAR32 and EMX.

After command: RAR32 X *.* files will extract - bot only to same location as .RAR file, since this is floppy disk [1,44] extraction process is stopped (because of full disk).

Is there a command to extract from floppy to a location on HDD?

Tried this, doesnt work:

RAR32 X *.* C:\Test

RAR32 X *.* /C:\Test

I'm using pure DOS 6.22, not DOS mode under Windows.

Any ideas?

rar x archive.rar c:\path\

Shouldn't be much more complex than that...

OK, problem solved 😀 proper command is: RAR32 X FILE.RAR C:\FOLDER\ - i was missing "\" at the end, thanks for help

i do this for arj-archives, maybe it works for rar too:
I go to the Destination directory and call arj from there...

cd c:\test
a:\rar x a:\archive.rar
