- AutoZipper Release 5.01
- Copyright(C) Oakwood Software, Mishawaka Indiana 1990.
- Written by Scott Null - All Rights Reserved.
- A front-end utility for use with PKZIP (tm) and PKUNZIP (tm).
- Now with complete selective extraction of files from Zipfiles!
-
- To Use AutoZipper, copy..
-
- AZPINST.EXE
- AZP.EXE
- AZP.DOC
-
- into the same directory where PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE resides.
- These programs must be in the same directory as PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE
- in order for AutoZipper to work correctly.
- It is assumed that you already have a copy of PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE.
- Now change to the directory that contains these file and type;
-
- AZPINST (hit return)
-
- This will run the AutoZipper Installation program. The installation program
- creates a batch file called ZIP.BAT and also instructs you as to the
- path requirements for running AutoZipper from a directory other than the one
- it is located in. You only need to run the installation program once, before
- running AutoZipper for the very first time.
-
- After installation is complete you can run AutoZipper by typing;
-
- ZIP (hit return)
-
- AutoZipper will ask you to select a drive from which to work from. Logical
- choices are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J drives. You can also change
- from ZIP to UNZIP or vice-versa by toggling with the SPACE-BAR.
-
- AutoZipper will then display the tree for the selected drive. You can then
- select the subdirectory which contains the files you wish to zip or unzip by
- using the cursor control keys. Move the cursor over the desired directory
- and type 'G' to go into that directory. AutoZipper currently supports
- subdirectory structures three-deep. Once in the directory, move the cursor
- over the file(s) you wish to zip or unzip and use the SPACE-BAR to
- select/unselect the file(s). You can also type 'S' to select all files, and
- 'U' to unselect all files.
-
-
- Option Menus:
- -------------
- AutoZipper 5.01 now includes UNZIP capabilities with selective extraction
- to disk, screen, or printer. It also includes two different option
- menus depending on if you wish to perform ZIP or UNZIP functions. When
- you run AutoZipper the starting default function is ZIP until you change it.
- You can always see the current function by looking at the bottom line on the
- screen and noticing whether the flashing word is ZIPPING or UNZIPPING.
- To select the UNZIP function, press the function key F9. To select the ZIP
- function, press the function key F10. Pressing the appropriate function key
- automatically changes the mode in which AutoZipper will operate on selected
- files. The function key also displays the corresponding menus described
- below...
-
- The ZIP Menu (F10):
- -------------------
- Hit the F10 function key to bring up the ZIP Menu. You can then select
- the following options;
-
- 1 - Maximum compression of selected files
- 2 - Fast compression of selected files
- 3 - Include a comment in the Zipfile
- 4 - Deletes the selected files from the Zipfile
- 5 - Moves the selected files to the Zipfile
- (deletes the source files upon completion)
- 6 - Select a new drive/directory from which to work
- 7 - Shell to DOS
- [return] - Leave Option Menu
-
- The default option when you first start is 1 - Maximum Compression, you may
- change the options as you like. If you do not have a hard-drive and are
- running AutoZipper from a floppy, be sure that COMMAND.COM is located on the
- floppy with AutoZipper PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE if you wish to use the
- 7 - Shell to DOS Option. When you are finished with the Option Menu hit
- return to re-enter the file selection utility. You will
- re-enter in the ZIP mode of operation.
-
-
- The UNZIP Menu (F9):
- --------------------
- Hit the F9 function key to bring up the UNZIP Menu. You can then select
- the following options;
-
- 1 - Extract to disk
- 2 - Overwrite existing files
- 3 - Extract to printer
- 4 - Extract to screen
- 5 - Test the selected Zipfile(s) integrity
- 6 - Select a new drive/directory from which to work
- 7 - Shell to DOS
- 8 - View Zipfile(s)
- [return] - Leave Option Menu
-
- The default option when you first start is 1 - Extract to Disk, you may
- change the options as you like. The UNZIP function will only operate
- on files with the '.ZIP' extension. All other files selected without
- the '.ZIP' extension will be ignored. When you are finished with the
- Option Menu hit return to re-enter the file selection utility. You
- will re-enter in the UNZIP mode of operation.
-
- After you have selected either ZIP or UNZIP and the desired option you
- should select the files that you wish to perform the selected operation on.
- Type 'B' when done selecting files to begin the selected process.
- If you are in ZIP mode when you type 'B' you will be prompted to give a
- [pathname]\filename.zip for the target zip file. Type in the target
- path and filename and hit return. If you don't type an extension to the
- filename, the .ZIP extension will automatically be used.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
- ZIP mode Example;
- c:\modem\files\mystuff.zip (hit return)
-
- In this example, AutoZipper would then use PKZIP to create a
- Zipfile called MYSTUFF.ZIP in the C:\MODEM\FILES subdirectory.
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- If you are in UNZIP mode and have selected the Extraction to disk option or
- Overwrite existing files, then when you type 'B' you will be prompted
- to give a target [pathname] for the files you are about to UNZIP.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
- UNZIP mode Example;
- c:\modem\files (hit return)
-
- In this example, AutoZipper would put the files that you wish to extract
- from the selected '.ZIP' file(s) into C:\MODEM\FILES subdirectory.
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Type in the target pathname and hit return. If you have selected an option
- other than Extraction to disk or Overwrite existing files, you will skip
- the above step. You will then see the file(s) that are in the selected
- Zipfile(s). You can now select the file(s) that you wish to extract
- from the Zipfile(s). Use the SPACE-BAR, 'S', or 'U' to select the files
- you wish to extract. Type 'B' to begin the extraction process when you
- have finished selecting files.
-
- You can always use the ESC key to exit AutoZipper when you are finished
- running the program.
