Packer - auto unpacks it's self

Packer is a simple program which packs up multiple files in to a packaged file, this packaged file is also a lua program, run the packaged file and it will unpack it's self and recreate the files you packed up in it.

Usage:

packer output_dir:dir1:dir2:dir3 etc.

requires at lease two dirs, output and dir1, the rest are optional. Split each dir by a ":" dir's cannot contain the ":" symbol.

pastebin get MfZuAruJ packer

That's it, this means you can give users multiple files in one file, tell them to run the file they downloaded and then use like normal :D/>/>

Thanks :P/>/>/>

lol.
awesome

Not bad.

Very useful for OS makers

If it could in some way pack directories themselves this could very much be useful! But without it its still as greate! Nice work (Is this close to zip/archiving :? :P/>)
