ECHO 1. disable music

play.exe

my made res-adl.EXE and res-gen.EXE are compressed DOSZIP files but are needed to replace a configuration to control music.
sierra DOS games bypass the music/midi dosbox virtual devices because damn sierra games are known for "no digital sound effects" and no option for "no music" and its in-game music control bar always STARTS with 100% and it doesnt save a music setting upon quitting . unlike westwood's kyrandia, when sierra game's in-game music bar is 0%, this means background music is turned off and midi sound effects are ALSO turned off.
because pkzipDOS.exe compresses and i have to replace it
i need some kind of DOS command or pkzipDOS.exe kind of software that MUST NOT compress files and combine all files into a single EXE file.
this single output.exe also needs to have this switch
output.exe -overwrite
if in an example of win32 ZIP version , the command line would be like this "PKZIPC.EXE -SFX -LEV=0 output"
PKZIPC.EXE -SFX -LEV=0 ;no compression and fast and i need this
PKZIPC.EXE -SFX -LEV=5 ; compresses and i dont need this
