File extensions used by non RISC OS systems are normally mapped to directories under RISC OS. To do that appropriate directories have to be created, files have to be copied to these directories and the file extensions have to be removed. Ext2Dir does that for you.
Example:
main/adb ------> creates a directory 'adb' and copies the file into that directory.
test/c ------> creates a directory 'c' and copies the file into that directory
Ext2Dir is a command-line program but is supplied with a frontend (!Ext2Dir).
NOTE: This is a RISC OS app.
