Abstract
This specification discloses a decompression software package that can store files in an assigned storage device, which is mainly used to restore the previously partitioned/compressed files such as drivers, application programs or utilities downloaded from the network to a user assigned path or storage device. By directly running a decompression program, such as a quick release sector transfer (QRST) utilities, the user can select for the file to be restored a path of the storage device, such as a 1.44 MB floppy disk drive, an LS-120 or zip drive, or a hard drive. While restoring/decompressing the file, the software data such as the name of the software, version, etc, can be recorded to the aforementioned path, and a directory name can be built automatically at the same.
