Remarks

  • Expand of a single file gives a warning in the log, if the destination file already exists.
  • If the optional parameter PRESERVE added, Expand of a single file does not overwrite an existing file.
  • A warning is still given

The warning can be suppressed by an additional parameter NOWARN

  • The parameters PRESERVE, and NOWARN can be used simultaneously. The order does not matter.
