Dump them all in a dir, run the exe, and game on...
BTW, is there a current... "turnkey" (simple, "clicky"), I guess, *NIX solution for doing that within an archive?
And it's opensource.
And why the extra step? Just a readily available, opensource archiver --7zip-- does the trick with simple symmetric encryption by passphrase.

These are seriously impressive features! I hope someone will build on top of them to improve ext4 support in Windows.
The ability to extract files from VM images without actually firing up a VM or using other convoluted tools is also going to be very useful to me.
Is not better to just improve this already working Windows driver: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/ ?
So I checked my current version... And Ubuntu 16.10 ships version 9.20, which is from 2010.
Yay.
Edit: On further inspection, downloading the source from sourceforge and building it locally was a matter of minutes though. But that feels so utterly un-Ubuntu-ish.
What else is there that's sanely up-to-date out-of-the-box, doesn't have bizarre redistribution issues (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10613518), and would appeal to someone who uses Slackware but wouldn't mind dependency resolution?
I was already recommended FreeBSD and that's on the todo list.
For some time, it was a bit of pain in the ass to figure out 7zip status as it required collecting pieces of knowledge from multiple SourceForge forum threads.
