# jzexe(6)

Generates standalone Z-Code programs

## NAME

jzexe - Generates standalone Z-Code programs

## SYNOPSIS

**jzexe** *\<story file\> \[jzip program\]*\
 **jzexe** *-x \<standalone program\>*\
 **jzexe**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **jzexe** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**jzexe** is a program that generates a standalone Z-Code executable program by gluing **jzip** and the specified Z-Code program together. It assumes **jzip** is located at /usr/games/jzip, which can be overridden by the command line. It calls a standalone executable \<story file\>.exe, and saves its output in the current directory.

**jzexe** can also extract Z-Code programs from the executables it creates.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options are included below.

- **-x**

  Extract a program from a stand alone executable, naming it \<standalone name\>.z\<z-code version\>

Run **jzexe** with no arguments to view invocation options.
