INTRODUCTION │ │ PKWARE │ File Compression │ Overview of the Software │ System Requirements/Limits │ 1-1 PKWARE ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Together, PKZIP, and PKUNZIP or PKZMENU, the menu-driven version of PKUNZIP can handle all of your file compression needs. PKZIP is the program that compresses files. This shrinking process is often referred to as data compression. Terms you will see during the compressing process are Storing, Shrinking, and Imploding. PKZIP also handles all file maintenance including adding and deleting files, as well as reporting on technical information from within the compressed file. PKUNZIP is the program that uncompresses or extracts compressed files. In addition to extracting a complete ZIP file, it can selectively release individual files, show files on the screen for fast viewing, or print them out on a printer. PKZMENU is a menu driven version of PKUNZIP. It is a quick and easy way to extract files from ZIP files and provide you with a variety of additional functions. It will display all of the ZIP files of a given directory and allow you to view the contents of ZIP files. You can then tag the specific files you want to work with. The pull down menus can be used to perform a variety of tasks. In summary, PKZMENU allows you to perform the following tasks: - View ZIP file contents. - Use the easy but powerful tagging options. - Use easy-access pull down menus. - Display technical information of ZIPPED files. - Extract, test, view, or print ZIPPED files. - Utilize the built-in FAST! extraction code. - Sort displayed files in a variety of ways. - Extract password protected files. - Create DOS directories from within the program. - Create PKZIP/PKUNZIP compatible list files. PKZMENU also includes support for VGA 50 line, EGA 43 line and Monochrome monitors. It includes mouse support. PKZMENU supports networks, laptop computers, and is DESQView aware. 1-2 FILE COMPRESSION ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The term "compression" means to reduce in size. Computer file compression refers to reducing files in size so that they take up less storage space on disk. PKZIP will perform this reducing process quickly and easily. The compressed files are then stored in a special file called a ZIP file. PKZMENU can then be used to extract those files and return them to their original operating format. ZIP files have three distinct benefits: 1. They use less disk space than normal files. Storing files in compressed form increases the life and storage availability of your hard disk. 2. Many individual files can be compressed into a single ZIP file. This makes file group identification, copying, and transporting faster and easier. 3. Compressed files travel faster via modem which reduces communication transmission and reception. Many BBS (computer bulletin board services) use PKWARE files as their standard. This enables the BBS to store more files and allows you to transfer files faster and easier. The following file compression terms are used throughout this manual. FILE = The SINGLE name that identifies information on your floppy disk or hard drive. ZIP FILE = The file that holds file information that has been reduced in size for better storage. It is sometimes called a compressed file or a library file. A ZIP file can be made up of either one or more files compressed and stored together under one file name. FILE EXTRACTION = The process of recreating files that have been previously compressed. FILE COMPRESSION = The process of reducing a file's size. This is sometimes referred to as data compression. 1-3 OVERVIEW OF THE SOFTWARE ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The main screen of PKZMENU appears as shown below in Figure 1-1. There are several different areas; they are described below. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Extract Tag Sort Misc setuP eXit │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Drive: C:/ZIPDOCS ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ░ ../ <DIR> 08-07-90 12:12a║ ▓ SAMPLES/ <DIR> 08-07-90 10:08p║ ▓ DOCS/ <DIR> 08-07-90 09:44p║ ▓ TEMP/ <DIR> 08-09-90 12:43p║ ▓ IMPLODE.ZIP ║ ▓ DOCS.ZIP ║ ▓ FILE.ZIP ║ ▓ DH.ZIP ║ ▓ ICONS.ZIP ║ ▓ SB.ZIP ║ ▓ PK.ZIP ║ ▓ PKWARE.ZIP ║ ▓ ECLIPSE.ZIP ║ ▓ ZIPS.ZIP ║ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ Extract directory : ║ ╟───────────────────┬───────────────────┬────────────────┬────────────╢ ║ File 0001 of 0014 │ Tagged Files 0000 │ Bytes Tagged 0 │MODE:EXTRACT║ ╚═══════════════════╧═══════════════════╧════════════════╧════════════╝ PKZMENU Ver. 1.0 Copyright 1990-91 by PKWARE, Inc All rights reserved Figure 1-1 PKZMENU Main Screen Main Menu = The main menu is displayed across the top of the screen. This is used to access all of the menu functions of PKZMENU. The submenus, or pop-up menus, are accessed through the main menu. To activate a submenu, use the RightArrow or LeftArrow keys or hold down the Alt key and press the highlighted letter of the main menu option you are choosing. The figure below illustrates the main menu with the Sort submenu activated. ┌─────────────────┬────┬───────────────────────┐ │ Extract Tag │Sort│ Misc setuP eXit │ └─────────────────┼────┴───────────┬───────────┘ │√ Name A-Z │ │ Extension A-Z │ │ Date 0-9 │ │ Size 0-9 │ │ Unsorted │ ├────────────────┤ │ Inner sort │ └────────────────┘ Figure 1-2 Sort Menu Selected 1-4 Time = The current time is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. To set the time display to either ON or OFF use the Time on screen option from the Setup menu. Drive/Directory = The current drive/directory is displayed in this area. All of the files and subdirectories listed in the main display area are located on this drive/directory. To change the current drive/directory, use the Drive/directory option on the Misc menu. Main Display Area = This is the largest area of the PKZMENU screen. All of the ZIP files and subdirectories of the current drive/directory are listed here. The default information displayed includes the size of the displayed files along with the file time and date. Only the files that you choose to be considered as ZIP files will be displayed. The default is all files with a .ZIP extension. There are several options you can set to determine what will be displayed in this area. To determine how the files will be sorted, use the Sort menu. There are also several other display options that can be set from the Setup menu. For detailed information on the Setup - ZIP options, see Section 7. Extract Directory = The drive/directory where you wish to locate any files that you extract is displayed here. The default setting is the current directory. To change the extract directory, use the Where to extract option from the Extract menu. File X of X = This area displays the total number of items (files and subdirectories) listed in the display area and the number of the item where the cursor is currently located. Tagged Files = This area displays the total number of files that have been tagged for extraction. Bytes Tagged = This area displays the total sum, in bytes, of the files that have been tagged. This is the byte sum of the files in their uncompressed state. This information is useful, for example, when you are extracting files to a floppy disk and you need to make sure there will be enough space on the disk to contain the files in their uncompressed state. MODE = The current mode of the program operation is displayed here. Presently there is one mode available, Extract. 1-5 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PKZMENU is designed to run on any IBM personal computer or compatible. It must be used with MS-DOS version 2.0 or later. PKZMENU requires a minimum of 192K free memory to run. PKZMENU runs most effectively on a hard drive system, but can also be run from floppy disks. When running PKZMENU, it MUST be located in: A. The drive and directory you are working on, OR ... B. Any directory accessible through the use of the PATH= notation. C:> PATH=C:\PKWARE In this example, PKZMENU.EXE is in the PKWARE Directory. The computer will find and execute the program even though you are in a different directory or drive because any commands entered will be run through the PATH. Consult your MS-DOS documentation for more information. The following command line options are available when starting PKZMENU. Type the listed command at the DOS prompt to override the noted function of the Setup menu. PKZMENU /3 This will turn OFF the 386 instructions. It will override the status of the 386 instructions option of the Setup menu if you have it set ON. PKZMENU /e+ This will expand all the ZIP files to show their contents in the file display area when you start the program. PKZMENU /e- This will not expand the ZIP files when you start the program. This option is useful if you have the Expand ZIP files option of the ZIP options submenu set to ON. Typing this on the command line will override the setting in the Setup menu and not expand the ZIP files when starting the program. When using PKZMENU, whenever you enter file information, all of the standard MS-DOS file handling procedures can be used: Filename.ext Full file name designations Name*.ext Names with wild card markers *.ext Filename.* *.* File?ame.ext A:filename.ext Disk drive and file name C:\PK\SAVE\*.* Disk drive and PATH locations 1-6 2. GETTING STARTED │ │ Using PKZMENU With the Keyboard │ Using PKZMENU With the Mouse │ The Menu Structure │ Using the Menus │ 2-1 USING PKZMENU WITH THE KEYBOARD ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This section will describe the special keys that are used in conjunction with PKZMENU. Most of these keys have different functions depending on whether they are being used from the main screen or from a pop-up menu. The table below summarizes the key functions. Key From Main Screen From Menus ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── UpArrow/ Move cursor among Move cursor among DownArrow files in display area menu items RightArrow/ Pops up last displayed Moves to adjacent LeftArrow menu menus Alt + letter Accesses pop-up menus Accesses pop-up menus Esc Exits the program Exits the menu Enter Tags or expands Enables high- highlighted file lighted option or changes directory Space bar Tags the file where Toggles available the cursor is located menu options Tab Same as DownArrow Shift+Tab Same as UpArrow Home Locates cursor on Locates cursor on first listing in first menu item. display area End Locates cursor on Locates cursor on last listing in last menu item display area PageUp Scrolls up one page in display area PageDown Scrolls down one page in display area T Displays technical information N Directory command F1 Displays PKZMENU help screen F2 Extracts tagged files F3 Tests file integrity F5 Changes current drive/directory The functions of these keys are described on the following pages. 2-2 Arrow keys = The arrow keys are used to access the pop-up menus and to move the bar cursor among the files in the file display area. RightArrow and LeftArrow = The RightArrow and LeftArrow keys are used to access the pop-up menus. When no menu is presently displayed, pressing the RightArrow or LeftArrow key will bring up the last menu that was displayed. The same item will be highlighted as when the menu was last displayed. If you have not yet displayed a menu in this work session, the Extract menu appears when you press the RightArrow or LeftArrow key. If a menu is already displayed when you press the RightArrow key, the menu immediately to the right will be displayed. If you press the LeftArrow key, the menu immediately to the left will be displayed. The cursor will always be located on the menu item where it was positioned when you last displayed the menu. There is also a "wrap-around" function in effect. When the Extract menu is up, pressing the LeftArrow key will bring up the Exit menu; and when the Exit menu is up, pressing the RightArrow key will bring up the Extract menu. UpArrow and DownArrow = The UpArrow and DownArrow keys will move the bar cursor among the files in the file display area, and among the options in the menus. Pressing the UpArrow key will move the cursor one file at a time toward the top of the screen. Pressing the DownArrow key will move the cursor one file at a time toward the end of the display listing. The screen will automatically scroll as you press the UpArrow and DownArrow keys. When a menu is active, press the UpArrow and DownArrow keys to move the cursor among the menu items. There is a "wrap-around" function in effect when moving the cursor through the menu items. If the cursor is located on the last item of a menu, pressing the DownArrow key will cause it to move to the first item of the menu. Likewise if the cursor is located on the first item of a menu, pressing the UpArrow key will cause it to move to the last item of the menu. Alt = The Alt key is used to access the pop-up menus. To bring up a menu, hold down the Alt key and press the highlighted key of the menu you have chosen. The Alt key combinations for the menus are listed below. Alt-E Extract Alt-T Tag Alt-S Sort Alt-M Miscellaneous Alt-P Setup Alt-X Exit 2-3 Escape = The Escape key exits the program or remove a menu that is displayed. The Escape key always backs up one step. Repeated pressing of Escape will eventually exit to DOS from anywhere in the program. To exit the program, press the Escape key from the main program screen (when no menus are displayed). For more information on the program exit functions, see Section 8. By pressing the Escape key when a menu is displayed, the menu will be removed and you will be back to the main program screen. Enter = The Enter key selects a file or selects the menu option that the cursor is currently highlighted. When the main screen is displayed, locate the cursor on a ZIP file, and press the Enter key. This will expand the file. When a file is expanded, you can view its contents, including files, the first line of the ZIP comment, and various file information. (Use the Setup menu to set different display options.) When you press Enter, PKZMENU will inform you if a file has errors and cannot be expanded. A window such as the one shown below will appear. ╔ ERROR ══════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ BAD.ZIP has errors ║ ║ ║ ╚═ Press any key to continue ═╝ If the cursor is located on a file inside a ZIP file, and you press the Enter key, the file will be tagged. Press the Enter key again to untag it. When the main display screen is displayed, and the cursor is located on a subdirectory, press the Enter key to change to that subdirectory. The files from that directory will then be displayed. If the cursor is located on ../ (backup one directory), press Enter to back up one directory level. When within a menu, position the cursor on the desired option and press the Enter key. This will cause the option that is currently highlighted to be performed. (You can alternatively press the highlighted letter of the option you wish to perform.) For example, from the Tag menu, press the Enter key when the cursor is located on Flip Tags, and all the files that were previously tagged will be untagged and all the files that were previously untagged will be tagged. Space Bar = The Space bar is used to tag files in the file display area, and to toggle available values in the menus. When working from the main program screen, press the space bar to tag the file where the cursor is currently located and advance the cursor to the next file. If the cursor is currently located on a sub- directory, press the Space bar to move the cursor to the next listed subdirectory or file. (A subdirectory cannot be tagged.) 2-4 From within a menu, press the Space bar to toggle among available options. For example, from the Sort menu you can sort the file names alphabetically A-Z or Z-A. Use the UpArrow or DownArrow keys to position the cursor over the Name field and press the Space bar to toggle A-Z or Z-A. Tab = When a menu is displayed, pressing the Tab key operates the same as the DownArrow key. If you hold down the Shift key and press the Tab key, it will operate the same as the UpArrow key. Home = The Home key is used to position the cursor. From the main display screen, press the Home key to locate the cursor on the first listing in the display area. This will be ../ (backup one directory) if you are running the program from a subdirectory. When you are working within a menu, press the Home key to locate the cursor on the top most item of the menu. End = The End key is used to position the cursor. From the main display, press End to locate the cursor on the last item in the display area. When you are working within a menu, press the End key to locate the cursor on the last item of the menu. PageUp = The PageUp key will scroll the cursor up one page of data in the display area. If there is less than one page of listings, press PageUp to move the cursor to the first item listed. PageDown = The PageDown key will advance the cursor down one page of data in the display area. If there is less than one page of listings before the last item, press PageDown to move the cursor to the last item. T = The T key is used to display technical information pertaining to a file. To use this function, position the cursor on a file and press the T key. The information that appears will be different depending on whether the file is a ZIP file or a file within a ZIP file. The following screen is an example of the information that will appear for a compressed file. TECHNICAL INFORMATION ╔════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Filename: STORAGE.DOC ║ ║ File type: ASCII ║ ║ Attributes: --w ║ ║ Date and Time: 11-06-89 10:47:14 ║ ║ Compression Method: Shrunk ║ ║ Compressed Size: 888 ║ ║ Uncompressed Size: 2213 ║ ║ Ratio: 60% ║ ║ 32 bit CRC value: 02faca40 ║ ║ Created by: MS-DOS 1.0 ║ ║ Needed to extract: 1.0 ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════╝ 2-5 To remove the Technical Information window, press the Escape key. See Section 6 (Misc - Technical Info option) for a detailed explanation on all of the items in this window. The Technical Information function is used on ZIP files and files inside a ZIP file. When the window has been displayed, you can move among the other files in the file display area by using the arrow keys. The information in the window will change to correspond to the file where the cursor is currently positioned. N = Press the N key from the main program area to display a new directory of the current directory. This is useful if you have removed files from the file display area and you want to view them once again. F1 = Press the F1 function key to display a help screen. The help screen includes basic information needed to run PKZMENU. To remove the help screen and return to program operation, press any key. F2 = Press the F2 function key to extract all tagged files. The files will be extracted to the current extract directory. The F2 function key operates the same as the Extract tagged files option from the Extract menu. For detailed information on the Extract tagged files option, see Section 3. F3 = The F3 function key is used to test the integrity of any tagged files. The files will not be extracted; they will only be tested. The files will be displayed on the screen as they are tested along with the outcome of the testing. 'OK' will be listed after all files that have passed the integrity test. PKZMENU will also list which files have errors. This function operates the same as the Test integrity option of the Extract menu. For more information on the Test integrity function, see Section 3. F5 = The F5 function key is used to change the current drive/directory. This refers to the directory that is displayed in the file display area. It is not the same as the extract directory. (The extract directory can be set to an alternate drive/directory by using the Where to extract option from the Extract menu). To change the current drive/directory, press the F5 function key and PKZMENU will prompt you with an entry area similar to the following. ╔═ Change Drive ═════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ _ ║ ║ C:/ECLIPSE ║ ║ C:/PKWARE/PKZMENU ║ ║ C:/SB ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Enter the new drive/directory at the flashing cursor. PKZMENU retains a list of up to the last five directories entered. To return to one of these directories, locate the cursor on it and press the Enter key. 2-6 You can also change the current drive/directory from the Misc menu by using the Drive/directory F5 option. For more information on this function, see Section 6. USING PKZMENU WITH THE MOUSE ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── You can use a mouse to perform all of the major functions of PKZMENU. This section describes the general operating requirements you will need to follow when using a mouse. In order to use a mouse with PKZMENU, you must do both of the following: - You must have a mouse driver installed before you start the program. - You must have the Use mouse option of the Setup menu set to ON (the √) when the program is started. The left mouse button is used to invoke functions. Its operation correlates to the Enter key. The right mouse button is used to exit or abandon an operation. Its operation correlates to the Escape key. If the mouse you are using has three buttons, the middle button is not used. To modify the mouse options, use the Mouse menu from the Miscellaneous submenu on the Setup menu. The remainder of this section provides a reference guide for using the mouse with PKZMENU. Scrolling = The mouse can be used to scroll through the files in the file display area. To scroll forward through the files, point to the down arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar, and hold down the left button. This is the same as pressing the DownArrow key. To scroll backward through the files, point to the up arrow at the top of the scroll bar, and hold down the left button. This is the same as pressing the UpArrow key. To scroll in either direction one file at a time, point to the up arrow or down arrow, and click the left mouse button. To scroll several files at a time, point above the scroll marker (the small white box on the scroll bar) and click the left mouse button. Clicking above the scroll marker is the same as pressing the PageUp key. To page down through the files, click below the scroll marker. This is the same as pressing the PageDown key. To locate a specific area in the file display listing, click directly ON the scroll marker, hold down the left button and drag the marker to the desired location on the scroll bar. Expand files = To expand a ZIP file in the file display area, point to the file name and click the left mouse button twice quickly. (This is called double-clicking.) To unexpand it, repeat the process. Tag files = To tag a ZIP file using the mouse, point to the ZIP file name, and click the left mouse button. To tag a file inside of a ZIP file, expand the ZIP file and then point to it and click the left mouse button. To untag a file, repeat the process. 2-7 Access menus = To access the pop-up menus using the mouse, point to a menu title at the top of the screen, then click the left mouse button. Invoke a menu option = To invoke a menu option, point to the option and click the left mouse button. Toggle an option = To toggle an option, such as A-Z or Z-A in the Sort menu, point to the characters that will toggle and click the left mouse button. Change drives = To change the drive of the file display area, point to the word DRIVE at the top of the screen and click the left mouse button. You will then see a list of the available drives. Point to the desired drive and click the left button. Change directories = To change to a subdirectory, point to the desired subdirectory in the display area, and double-click the left button. To move back one directory level, point to ../ at the top of the screen and double click the left mouse button. Exit a menu = To exit a pop-up menu or a submenu, click the right mouse button, or click the left button outside of the menu box. Abandon an operation = To abandon the current operation, click the right mouse button. THE MENU STRUCTURE ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PKZMENU is a completely menu driven software program. All of the file functions are accessed through the menus. PKZMENU contains a main menu which is listed across the top of the screen. There are six main menu categories: Extract Tag Sort Miscellaneous Setup Exit When you select one of these main menu options, (either by using the RightArrow/LeftArrow keys, the Alt key, or the mouse), a corresponding pop-up menu will appear. The pop-up menus contain the program options. Figure 2-1 below illustrates the main menu with the Sort pop-up menu selected. 2-8 ┌──────────────────┬──────┬────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Extract Tag │ Sort │ Misc setuP eXit │ └──────────────────┼──────┴─────────┬──────────────────────────┘ Drive: C:/ZIPDOCS │√ Name A-Z │══════════════════════════╗ │ Extension A-Z │ │ Date 9-0 │ │ Size 0-9 │ │ Unsorted │ ├────────────────┤ │ Inner sort │ └────────────────┘ Figure 2-1 In addition to the pop-up menus accessed from the main menu, in some cases there are additional levels of pop-up menus. This second level of pop-up menus is accessed from the first level. An item marked with a small square ■ to the left of it indicates that there is an additional pop-up submenu available. See the Attribute mask listing on the Extract menu shown in Figure 2-2; the small square indicates that there is an additional pop-up menu available. To access this menu, position the cursor on Attribute mask and press the Enter key, or press the A key (or point to it with the mouse and click the left mouse button). The additional submenu will then appear. ┌─────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Extract │ Tag Sort Misc setuP eXit │ ├─────────┴─────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┘ │ Extract tagged files F2 │═════════════════════════════════╗ │ Freshen extract │ │ Print tagged files │ │ Console More: YES │ │ Test integrity F3 │ │∙ Overwrite │ │∙ Newer │ │∙ Directory creation │ │∙ Volume label creation │ │■ Attribute mask │ │ ┌───────────────────────┐│ │ │√ Read only masked off ││ └──│√ Hidden masked off │┘ │√ System masked off │ └───────────────────────┘ Figure 2-2 To remove the additional menu, press the Escape key and the program will return to the Extract menu. Press the Escape key again to remove the Extract menu and return to the main program screen. 2-9 USING THE MENUS ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The following three sections explain the operating instructions for accessing a pop-up menu, invoking menu options and toggling menu items. SELECTING A POP-UP MENU ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The main menu options listed across the top of the screen can be accessed through a variety of ways. They are listed below. Alt key = The Alt key is used in conjunction with the highlighted letter of the main menu titles. For example, to bring up the Tag pop-up menu, hold down the Alt key and press the T key. The Tag menu will then appear. All of the Alt key combinations are listed below. Alt-E Extract Alt-T Tag Alt-S Sort Alt-M Miscellaneous Alt-P Setup Alt-X Exit RightArrow key = The RightArrow key will bring up the menu that was displayed last. If you press it again, the menu immediately to the right of the one currently displayed will appear. Repeatedly pressing the RightArrow key will continue to bring up the menu immediately to the right. LeftArrow key = The LeftArrow key will bring up the menu that was displayed last. If you press it again, the menu immediately to the left of the one currently displayed will appear. Repeatedly pressing the LeftArrow key will continue to bring up the menu immediately to the left. Mouse = The mouse is used to access the pop-up menus by pointing to the main menu title at the top of the screen and clicking the left mouse button. The pop-up menu will then appear. SELECTING A POP-UP MENU OPTION ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── There are several options available for selecting a function from a pop-up menu. They are listed below. Enter key = The Enter key is used to invoke the highlighted menu option. For example, if the cursor is located on the Tag all files option of the Tag menu, pressing the Enter key will cause all of the files in the display to be tagged. The Enter key is also used to access additional pop-up menus that are available from the first level of pop-up menus. If an additional menu is associated with a menu item, a small square ■ will appear immediately to the left of the menu option. 2-10 Highlighted letters = In every menu option there is a highlighted letter. To access a particular menu item, simply type the high- lighted letter. DownArrow key = The DownArrow key moves the cursor down one item at a time. If the cursor is positioned on the last menu item, pressing the DownArrow key will "wrap-around" and position the cursor on the first item. UpArrow key = The UpArrow key moves the cursor up one item at a time. If the cursor is positioned on the first menu item, pressing the UpArrow key will "wrap-around" and position the cursor on the last item. Tab key = The Tab key will move the cursor around within the pop-up menu. Use the Tab key to move the cursor over the menu items, moving down one item at a time, the same as the DownArrow key. If you hold down the Shift key and press the Tab key, the cursor moves the same as the UpArrow key. Mouse = The mouse is used to chose a menu item, by pointing to the particular option and clicking the left button. TOGGLING MENU ITEMS ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── There are several items in the pop-up menus that can be toggled through a number of valid choices. For example, in the Sort menu, you can sort the file names alphabetically A through Z or Z through A. Space bar = To toggle between available options, position the cursor over the option, and press the Space bar. Highlighted letters = In every menu item there is a high-lighted letter. To toggle available options, simply press this highlighted letter. For example in the Setup - Video & sound options menu, pressing the B key will toggle the Beep option between ON and OFF (√ and ∙). Mouse = To toggle an option using the mouse, such as A-Z or Z-A in the Sort menu, point to the characters that will toggle and click the left mouse button. 2-11 3. EXTRACT │ │ Extract Tagged Files │ Freshen Extract │ Print Tagged Files │ Console More: YES/NO │ Test Integrity │ Overwrite │ Newer │ Directory Creation │ Volume Label Creation │ Attribute Mask │ Scramble (password) │ Where to Extract │ 3-1 EXTRACT ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ┌───────┐ │Extract│ ├───────┴──────────────────┐ │ Extract tagged files F2│ │ Freshen extract │ │ Print tagged files │ │ Console More: NO │ │ Test integrity F3│ │∙ Overwrite │ │∙ Newer │ │√ Directory creation │ │∙ Volume label creation │ │■ Attribute mask │ │ Scramble (password) │ │ Where to extract │ └──────────────────────────┘ The Extract menu, shown above, is used to extract the files that you have tagged. These files can be extracted to a specified directory, to a printer, or to the console (display screen). The following options can be specified either ON or OFF using this menu: Overwrite, Newer, Directory creation, and Volume label creation. The Extract menu also provides a function for testing the integrity of a compressed file and a function for recreating a volume label. Also included in this menu, is a submenu used for specifying the masking ON or OFF of certain file attributes. All of these options are explained in detail in the following sections. EXTRACT - EXTRACT TAGGED FILES ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option will extract all files that are currently tagged to the extract directory. The extract directory can be specified using the Where to extract function, of the Extract menu. If no directory is specified from the Extract menu, the directory listed in the Setup menu under the Where to extract option will be used. When you are extracting files, you can either extract an entire ZIP file, or you can extract certain files from within a ZIP file. To extract an entire ZIP file, tag the ZIP file, and be sure none of the individual files within the ZIP file have been tagged. To tag a file, use the arrow keys to locate the cursor on the ZIP file and press the Space bar. To extract specific files from within a ZIP file, you must expand the ZIP file and then tag the files individually. Expanding is done by locating the cursor on the ZIP file and pressing the Enter key. The file will then be expanded so that you can view the files contained within. Then use the arrow keys to position the cursor and tag the specific files you wish to extract. You can tag files within a ZIP file by pressing either the Enter key or the Space bar. 3-2 To use the Extract tagged files option, use the following steps. Step 1. Tag the file or files to be extracted. To do this from the keyboard, locate the cursor on the chosen files and press the Space bar or the Enter key. To use the mouse, point to the file and click once to tag it. (Clicking twice on a ZIP file will expand it.) A triangular shaped marker will appear immediately to the left of all tagged files. Step 2. Bring up the Extract menu. Do this by either pressing Alt-E, or the RightArrow, or LeftArrow key. To use the mouse, point to the Extract menu title at the top of the screen, and click the left mouse button. Step 3. Execute the Extract tagged files option. Do this by positioning the cursor on the Extract tagged files option and pressing the Enter key. You could also simply press the E key. To use the mouse, point to the Extract tagged files option and click the left mouse button. NOTE: There is a hot-key option that is available with this function. Press the F2 function key to extract any tagged files without using the Extract menu. As the files are being extracted, a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 3-1 will appear. This screen displays the ZIP file and the names of the files as they are being extracted. If a ZIP comment exists for the ZIP file, it will also be displayed. The directory where the tagged files are being extracted to will be listed along with the files as they are extracted. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ UNZIP STATUS │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Current ZIP file: ZBDOCS.ZIP │ │ │ │ UnShrinking: C:/EXTRACT/ZB3.DOC │ │ UnShrinking: C:/EXTRACT/ZB1.DOC │ │ UnShrinking: C:/EXTRACT/ZB2.DOC │ │ UnShrinking: C:/EXTRACT/ZB4.DOC │ │ Done ! │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ │Messages : Done. 4 file(s) extracted │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ >> Press a key to continue << │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Figure 3-1 Extract Screen 3-3 If a file with the same name already exists at the destination where the extracted files are being located, the program will prompt you for confirmation before the existing file is overwritten if the Overwrite option has been set to OFF. If Overwrite is set to ON, any same-named files at the destination will be overwritten without asking for confirmation. The window will appear as shown in Figure 3-2. Enter Y to overwrite the existing file. Enter N to skip the current file and continue extracting the tagged files. Press the Escape key to cancel the extract operation. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ UNZIP STATUS │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Current ZIP file: MISC.ZIP This is a ZIP file comment. │ │ │ │ Warning : C:/MISC/ZB/STUDY.DOC already exists │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ │Messages : Overwrite (Y/N) ? │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Press Y or N or Esc to abort │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Figure 3-2 Extract Screen - Overwrite File You can overwrite any existing files without prompting you for confirmation by setting the Overwrite option in the Extract menu to ON. EXTRACT - FRESHEN EXTRACT ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option will extract all currently tagged files ONLY if they already exist at the extract destination and they have a more recent date than the already existing files. It is a way of updating the files in the extract directory. If there are no tagged files that meet the above criteria, PKZMENU will display a message stating there is nothing to update. To use the Freshen extract option, use the following steps. Step 1. Tag the file or files to be extracted. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Bring up the Extract menu. 3-4 See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 3. Execute the Freshen extract option. Do this by positioning the cursor on the Freshen extract option and pressing the Enter key. You could also simply press the F key. To use the mouse, point to Freshen extract and click the left mouse button. EXTRACT - PRINT TAGGED FILES ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option will extract all currently tagged files to the printer. The contents of the files will be printed. The printer setup options, including printer port, print mode, and form feed between files, are set from the Setup menu. The printer setup options are explained in Section 7. When extracting files to a printer, an entire ZIP file can be extracted or specific files from within a ZIP file can be extracted. To extract specific files, expand the ZIP file and tag the desired files within the ZIP file. To extract files to a printer, use the following steps. Step 1. Tag the file or files to be extracted. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 3. Execute the Print tagged files option. To do this, position the cursor on the Print tagged files option and press the Enter key. You could also simply press the P key. To use the mouse, point to the Print tagged files option and click the left mouse button. Be sure that the printer is turned ON and is online before you start printing the tagged files or PKZMENU will display an error message on the screen. EXTRACT - CONSOLE MORE: YES/NO ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option is used to extract all tagged files to the console, or monitor. The contents of the files will be displayed on the monitor. When extracting files to the monitor, an entire ZIP file can be extracted or specific files from within a ZIP file can be extracted. To extract specific files, expand the ZIP file and tag the files within the ZIP file. 3-5 The More option is used to specify whether or not the program will pause between pages of information. If More is set to NO, the files will scroll on the screen, and will pause only between files. If More is set to YES, the program will pause between pages of information and will prompt you to press the Space bar to continue. The files will scroll on the screen as they are being extracted. When the end of a file is reached, the program will inform you of this and will prompt you to continue with the next file (press any key) or cancel the extraction (press the Escape key). To extract files to the monitor, use the following steps. Step 1. Tag the file or files to be extracted. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 3. Set the More option. When the More option is set to YES, the program will pause between pages of information. When it is set to NO, the file contents will scroll continuously on the screen without stopping. To set the More option using the keyboard, use the arrow keys to locate the bar cursor on the Console More: YES/NO option and press the Space bar to toggle between YES and NO. You can also toggle the value by simply pressing the M key, regardless of where the cursor is located. To set the More option using the mouse, point to More and click the left mouse button. Step 4. Execute the Console More: YES/NO option. To do this, position the cursor on the Console more: YES/NO option and press the Enter key. You could also simply press the C key. To use the mouse, point to Console and click the left mouse button. The contents of the tagged files will be displayed on the monitor. EXTRACT - TEST INTEGRITY ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option will not actually extract the tagged files, but will test them for integrity. It performs a CRC check to test the files to make sure they are valid and have not been corrupted. The CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) test is a very accurate technique used to test the integrity of ZIP files. The names of the files will scroll on the screen as they are being tested. An example screen is shown in Figure 3-3. When testing the integrity of files, an entire ZIP file can be tested or specific files from within a ZIP file can be tested. To test specific files, expand the ZIP file and tag the selected files within the ZIP file. 3-6 ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ UNZIP STATUS │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Current ZIP file: CHAPS.ZIP All Doc files. │ │ │ │ Testing: CHAP1.DOC OK │ │ Testing: CHAP2.DOC OK │ │ Testing: CHAP3.DOC OK │ │ Testing: CHAP4.DOC OK │ │ Done ! │ │ │ │ Current ZIP file: SOURCE.ZIP This is source code. │ │ │ │ Testing: LIB/WORDS.C OK │ │ Testing: LIB/MENU.C OK │ │ Testing: LIB/INPUT.C OK │ │ Testing: LIB/SEARCH.C Fails CRC Check │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ │Messages : Done. 1 of 8 file(s) failed CRC check. │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ >> Press a key to continue << │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Figure 3-3 Extract Screen - Text File Integrity In this example, two files, CHAPS.ZIP and SOURCE.ZIP, were tagged and tested for integrity. The files are listed on the screen as they are tested. 'OK' will be displayed after each file as it is tested if the CRC check is valid. All of the files tested above except for the last file tested OK. The message at the bottom of the screen will list the total number of files that failed the CRC check. NOTE: PKZIPFIX, another PKWARE program, cannot be used to correct a file that has failed a CRC check. To test the integrity of specific files, use the following steps. Step 1. Tag the file or files to be tested. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 3. Execute the Test integrity option. Position the cursor on the Test integrity option and press the Enter key, or simply press the T key. To use the mouse, point to the Test integrity option and click the left mouse button. 3-7 The test information will scroll on the screen as the tagged files are tested. NOTE: There is a hot-key option that is available with this function. Press the F3 function key to test the integrity of any tagged files without using the Extract menu. EXTRACT - OVERWRITE ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option is used to enable the Overwrite function. When Overwrite is set to ON, files that exist in the extract directory with the same name, will be automatically overwritten by any same-named files being extracted. The program will not prompt you for confirmation before overwriting any files. If the Overwrite option is set to OFF, none of the files will be automatically overwritten. If a file exists in the extract directory with the same name as the file being extracted, the program will prompt you for confirmation before the existing file is overwritten. NOTE: Either the Overwrite or the Newer option can be set to ON, not both. (The Newer option will extract files only if they are newer that any same-named files in the extract directory or if they do not currently exist in the extract directory.) Recall, that when a Check mark √ is located immediately to the left of a menu item, the option is ON. A dot ∙ indicates the option is OFF. To set the Overwrite option, use the following steps. Step 1. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Set the Overwrite option. To set the Overwrite option using the keyboard, use the arrow keys to locate the bar cursor on Overwrite and press the Space bar to toggle between ON and OFF (the check mark and the dot respectively). You can also toggle the value by simply pressing the O key, regardless of where the cursor is located. To set the Overwrite option using the mouse, point to Overwrite and click the left mouse button. After setting the Overwrite option, you can then perform the Extract tagged files function. Any files that are extracted, will be extracted with the Overwrite option as you set it. 3-8 EXTRACT - NEWER ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option will extract the tagged files only if they are newer than any same-named files already located in the extract directory, or if they do not exist in the extract directory. If Newer is set to ON, when a file already exists in the extract directory, PKZMENU will compare the time and date of the two files (the one being extracted and the one already existing in the extract directory), and will extract the file only if it is newer than the one currently on disk. Recall, that when a Check mark √ is located immediately to the left of a menu item, the item is ON. A dot ∙ indicates the option is OFF. To set the Newer option, use the following steps. Step 1. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Set the Newer option. To set the Newer option using the keyboard, use the arrow keys to locate the bar cursor on Newer and press the Space bar to toggle between ON and OFF (the check mark and the dot respectively). You can also toggle the value by pressing the N key, regardless of where the cursor is located. To set the Newer option using the mouse, point to Newer and click the left mouse button. Any files that are then extracted, will be extracted with the Newer option as you set it. The Newer option will remain set until it is changed by the user. EXTRACT - DIRECTORY CREATION ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option will recreate any pathnames that are stored in the ZIP file that is being extracted. If the pathnames do not already exist on disk at the destination, they will be created on extraction. The extracted files can be placed in their original location by using this option. If this option is set to OFF, and pathnames are stored in a ZIP file, only the files themselves will be extracted to the extract directory. The paths will not be recreated unless the Directory creation option is set to ON. 3-9 By using this option in combination with the Where to extract option, you can effectively relocate files on the hard disk. An example is shown below. root┬─abc────┬───dir1 │ │ │ └───dir2─┬──dir3 ├─def │ │ └──dir4 └─ghi This example illustrates the ZIP file STORE.ZIP, which contains all of the files in the abc directory including all its subdirectories (dir1, dir2, dir3, and dir4). You can use the Where to extract option to set the extract directory to root/ghi. If you then extract the ZIP file, STORE.ZIP, it will relocate all of the files in the abc directory including its subdirectories, to the ghi directory. This is shown below. root┬─abc─────┬───dir1 │ │ │ └───dir2─┬──dir3 ├─def │ │ └──dir4 └─ghi──abc──┬──dir1 │ └──dir2─┬──dir3 │ └──dir4 Recall, that when a Check mark √ is located immediately to the left of a menu item, the item is ON. A dot ∙ indicates the option is OFF. The options can be saved in the PKZMENU configuration file by using the Write setup to disk option from the Setup menu. See Section 7 for more details. To set the Directory creation option, use the following steps. Step 1. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Set the Directory creation option. To set the Directory creation option using the keyboard, use the arrow keys to locate the cursor on the Directory creation option and press the Space bar to toggle between ON and OFF (the check mark and the dot respectively). You can also toggle the value by pressing the D key, regardless of where the cursor is located. To set the Directory creation option using the mouse, point to Directory creation and click the left mouse button. 3-10 EXTRACT - VOLUME LABEL CREATION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This command is used to restore any volume label that has been stored in the ZIP file. It is important to remember that the PKZIP command used to save a volume label does not store a drive letter along with the label. Upon extraction, the volume label will be assigned to the extract drive. To set the Volume label creation option, use the following steps. Step 1. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Set the Volume label creation option ON or OFF. To set the Volume label creation option using the keyboard, use the arrow keys to locate the cursor on Volume label creation and press the Space bar to toggle between ON and OFF (the check mark and the dot respectively). You can also toggle the value by simply pressing the V key, regardless of where the cursor is located. To set the Volume label creation option using the mouse, point to Volume label creation and click the left mouse button. Any files that are extracted from a ZIP file containing a volume label, will be extracted to the destination drive/directory and the volume label of that drive will be replaced with the one contained in the ZIP file. If you are extracting files from more than one ZIP file at a given time and there are multiple volume labels, the volume label extracted last would overwrite any previously extracted labels. EXTRACT - ATTRIBUTE MASK ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option is used to mask the hidden, system or read only attributes of files. When these attributes are masked, the files will be treated as normal writable files. The default setting includes all hidden, system and read only attributes masked off upon extraction. You can set the masking of the read only, hidden and system attributes independently of each other. A submenu is used to set these options. This submenu is accessed from the Extract menu by locating the cursor on the Attribute mask option and pressing the Enter key, or by pressing the A key. If you are using a mouse, point to the Attribute mask option and click the left mouse button. The submenu will appear as shown below. ┌───────────────────────┐ │√ Read only masked off │ │√ Hidden masked off │ │∙ System masked off │ └───────────────────────┘ 3-11 A check mark √ before the option indicates the option WILL be masked off. In the above example, the read only and hidden attributes will be masked off but the system attributes will not be masked off. To set the Attribute mask option, follow these steps. Step 1. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Bring up the Attribute mask submenu. This is done by locating the cursor on the Attribute mask option and pressing the Enter key, or by pressing the A key. To use the mouse, point to Attribute mask and click the left mouse button. Step 3. Set the Attribute mask options. The default setting will set the attribute mask options off to ON. This is indicated by a check mark √ immediately to the left of the option. The read only, hidden and system attributes can be set independently of each other. To set an attribute mask option, locate the cursor on the particular option and press the Space bar to toggle it. You can also use the highlighted letter of each option to toggle it ON or OFF. To set Read only masked off, press the R key. To set Hidden masked off, press the H key. To set System masked off, press the S key. Any files that are then extracted will be extracted with the Attribute mask options as you set them. 3-12 EXTRACT - SCRAMBLE (PASSWORD) ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option is used to extract any files that were encrypted, or compressed with password protection. In order to extract a file that was compressed with password protection, the correct password must be entered using this command. If you are extracting several files at once, PKZMENU will skip any encrypted files if the correct password has not been entered. (This option is not available in the PKZMENU export version.) When you are entering a password, PKZMENU will prompt you to type in the password. It will appear as shown in Figure 3-4. ┌───────┐ │Extract│ ├───────┴─────────────────┐ │ Extract tagged files F2│ │ Freshen extract │ │ Print tagged files │ │ Console More: NO │ │ Test integrity F3│ │√ Overwrite │ │∙ Newer │ │∙ Directory creation │ │∙ Volume label creation │ │■ Attribute mask │ │ Scramble (password) │ ├─────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┐ │ _ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Figure 3-4 Enter Password When specifying the password, it must be entered EXACTLY as it was when the file was encrypted. The password option is case sensitive. It is important that you remember or record the passwords that you used to encrypt the file. You will need the password in order to use PKZMENU to extract the files. PKWARE does not retain a record of these passwords. To use the Scramble (password) option, follow these steps. Step 1. Bring up the Extract menu. See the Extract tagged files example on page 3-3. Step 2. Access the Scramble (password) option. This is done by locating the cursor on the Scramble (password) option and pressing the Enter key. You could also press the S key. If you are using a mouse, point to Scramble (password) and click the left button. PKZMENU will provide an area to enter the password, as shown in Figure 3-4. 3-13 Step 3. Enter the password. Enter the password at the flashing cursor. Be sure to enter it exactly the same as when the file was compressed. After you have typed the password, press the Enter key to return to the Extract menu. You can then extract the tagged files. If the correct password has been entered, the corresponding encrypted files will be extracted. If the correct password has not been entered, any encrypted files will be skipped. PKZMENU will list the files and display which files have been skipped. EXTRACT - WHERE TO EXTRACT ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This option is used to set the current extract directory. Any subsequent files that are extracted will be located in this directory. This is not the same directory that is specified in the Setup menu under the Where to extract option. Initially the directory specified in the Setup menu will be copied into the Extract menu. You can change the extract directory by using the Where to extract option from the Extract menu. PKZMENU will always use the directory currently specified in the Extract menu. If the directory in the Setup menu is then changed, the program will still use the directory specified in the Extract menu. The Where to extract option of the Setup menu is used to initially set the Extract directory when PKZMENU is first run. PKZMENU retains a list of up to ten extract destinations. This information is saved in a setup file called PKZMENU.DIR in the directory where you have the PKZMENU.EXE file located. (You could also specify an alternate location.) By saving this information, you can retain a list of the extract destinations that you most frequently use. When you are entering a new extract directory, PKZMENU will prompt you with a window for typing in the directory (and drive). It will appear as shown Figure 3-5.

There are four submenus available from the Setup menu: Zip options - used to set several initial default PKZMENU parameters Video & sound options - used to set the screen display and sound options Printer setup - used to set the printer optionsy Miscellaneous - used to set numerous display and program options All of the Setup options are explained in detail in the following sections. SETUP - ZIP OPTIONS ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This menu option is used to access a submenu of various ZIP options. These options are initial default settings that will be active the next time and each time after that you start up the program. The parameters you set in this menu will initially be copied into the appropriate menu when you start up the program. The settings will then be overwritten as you set various options in the menus but will be active again the next time you start the program. The ZIP options submenu is shown on the following page. 7-2 ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │∙ Expand zip files │ │√ Comments displayed │ │√ Pathnames displayed │ │∙ Volume label creation │ │√ More (console) │ │∙ Overwrite │ │∙ Newer │ │∙ Directory creation │ │∙ Halt on error │ │ Sort inners Unsorted │ │ Inner display size,time,date │ │ Temporary drive │ │ Where to extract │ │■ Attribute mask │ │■ Zip file extensions │ └────────────────────────────────┘ Figure 7-2 ZIP Options Submenu The first several options are PKZMENU program functions that can be set either ON or OFF. The Inner display option is used to specify what information will be displayed on the screen when a ZIP file is expanded. The Temporary drive option allows you to designate a temporary drive to be used when temporarily expanding ZIP files. The Attribute mask option will access another submenu where you can set the attribute masking options. A default can also be set for the Where to extract option. The ZIP file extensions option is used to access another submenu that is used to specify the extensions of the files that will automatically be displayed in the file display area. A brief explanation of the ZIP options submenu is listed below. The following options can be toggled either ON or OFF. Expand zip files Comments displayed Pathnames displayed Volume label creation More (console) Overwrite Newer Directory creation Halt on error When an option is ON, a check mark will appear directly to the left of it. When an option is OFF, a dot will appear directly to the left of it. To toggle an option either ON or OFF, use the arrow keys to locate the cursor on the particular item and press the Space bar or the Enter key. You can also toggle a menu item by pressing the highlighted letter of the particular item. To use the mouse to toggle, point to the menu item and click the left mouse button. The Sort inners option works differently in that the type of sorting can be toggled. When this option is OFF, Unsorted will appear directly to the right. 7-3 Expand zip files - When this option is ON, the ZIP files will automatically be expanded when you start the program, so that you can view the contents of the ZIP files. Comments displayed - When this option is ON, the first line of the ZIP comment will be displayed when a ZIP file is expanded. Pathnames displayed - When this option is ON, any pathnames that are stored in a ZIP file will be displayed when the ZIP file is expanded. Volume label creation - PKZIP (version 1.1 or later) is capable of saving a volume label of a drive in a ZIP file. When this option is ON, PKZMENU will recreate the volume label when the ZIP file is extracted. NOTE: Be cautious when using this option, because it is possible to overwrite the volume label of your hard disk when extracting files. More (console) - This option is used to set the More option of the Extract menu. This function is used when extracting files to the console. It will cause the screen to pause after each page of information is displayed. Overwrite - This option is used to set the Overwrite option of the Extract menu. This function is used to automatically overwrite any same-named files as files are being extracted, otherwise PKZMENU will request confirmation before overwriting any existing files. Newer - This option is used to set the Newer option of the Extract menu. This function will extract the tagged files only if they are newer than any same-named files already located in the Extract directory, or if they do not already exist in the Extract directory. Directory creation - This option is used to set the Directory creation option of the Extract menu. This function will recreate the pathnames that are stored in the ZIP file being extracted. Halt on error - Setting this option to ON will cause the program to halt when an error has occurred while performing a PKZMENU function. A message box will appear on the screen displaying the error. This option is active with functions such as extracting and testing. If this option is set OFF, you may miss an error because it may scroll off the screen. Sort inners - The files within a ZIP file will initially be sorted in the manner you chose when you start the program. The sorting options available are: Unsorted Percentage of compression CRC value Filename File extension File date File size 7-4 Inner display - This menu item is used to determine what file data will be displayed when a ZIP file is expanded.

There are five options available: compress info size, CRC, % filename only size, time, date file comments Compress info displays the following information: the uncompressed size of the files in bytes, the compression method used (Shrunk, Imploded, or Reduced), and the percent reduction in file size. Size, CRC, % displays the size of the file, the CRC value and the percentage of file reduction. Filename only displays only the name of the files within the ZIP file. Size, Time, Date displays the uncompressed size of the files in bytes, and the time and date of the files. File comments displays the first line of any file comments that are stored in the ZIP file. Temporary drive - This option is used to designate a temporary drive. This drive will be used if the current function being performed by PKZMENU requires writing a temporary file. This option is useful when you are using a floppy disk with very little disk space left or that is write protected. For example, the View file option from the Miscellaneous menu extracts a file to disk, displays the file and then erases it. If you are using the files from a floppy disk with no free space, you can have the file write to a temporary drive. Where to extract - This option is used to set the extract destination. All files being extracted will be located here unless you specify otherwise. Attribute mask - This menu will access the submenu shown below. This will allow you to mask the hidden, system or read-only attributes of files, allowing them to be treated as normal writable files. ┌───────────────────────┐ │√ Read only masked off │ │√ Hidden masked off │ │√ System masked off │ └───────────────────────┘ 7-5 Zip file extensions - This option is used to specify which files will automatically be displayed in the file display area.

This option is used to specify how you want the files sorted when you initiate the program. 7-11 There are several initial sort options. They are listed below. Name A-Z or Z-A Extension A-Z or Z-A Time/Date 0-9 or 9-0 Size 0-9 or 9-0 Unsorted You can sort alphabetically by file name, either A through Z or Z through A. You can also sort alphabetically by file extension, either ascending (A-Z) or descending (Z-A). You can sort the files by age, either oldest to newest (9-0) or newest to oldest (0-9). The files can also be sorted by size (in bytes), smallest to largest (0-9) or largest to smallest (9-0). Finally you can select the files to be unsorted. With this choice, they will appear in the file display area as they appear in the directory. After you set the initial sort option, you must save this information in the PKZMENU configuration file (PKZMENU.CFG) so that the files will be sorted in that manner the next time you run PKZMENU. This is done with the Write setup to disk option explained on page 7-23. Return to start directory - This option is used to return to the startup directory when exiting PKZMENU by using the Escape key. The startup directory is the directory that you started the program from. You can exit PKZMENU by pressing the Escape key. If you press the Escape key with no menus displayed, a window will appear instructing you to press one more key, either Escape or Enter. One key will exit to the startup directory and the other key will exit to the current directory. The functions of the Escape key and the Enter key are determined by how you have the Return to startup dir option of the Setup menu set. The functions are summarized below. When Return to startup dir is ON (√), the following window will appear when you press the Escape key. EXIT TO DOS ╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Press Esc to exit to startup directory ║ ║ Press Enter to exit to current directory ║ ╚══════════════════════════ Space to abort ╝ When Return to startup dir is OFF (∙), the following window will appear when you press the Escape key. EXIT TO DOS ╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Press Esc to exit to current directory ║ ║ Press Enter to exit to startup directory ║ ╚══════════════════════════ Space to abort ╝ In other words, pressing Escape, Escape, will always exit to the location that the setup specifies. 7-12 Use mouse - This option is used to enable the mouse capabilities of the program. The mouse cannot be used unless the Use mouse option is set to ON. Also, the mouse driver must be installed before you start the program. For more information on using the mouse with PKZMENU, see Section 2. You can save the setting of the Use mouse option to disk by using the Write setup to disk option. This will retain the setting so that it is the same the next time you use PKZMENU. 386 Instructions - This option is available for users with 386 type computers. It is used to turn ON or OFF the added 386 instructions. PKZMENU will utilize these instructions to allow the program to function even faster. If you are running a different program that will not effectively utilize the 386 instructions, you can turn them OFF by using this command. You can also turn OFF the 386 instructions when you start PKZMENU by typing either of the following on the command line. PKZMENU /3 PKZMENU /386 You can save the setting of the 386 instructions option to disk by using the Write setup to disk option. This will retain the setting so that it is the same the next time you use PKZMENU. Check for viruses - When this option is set to ON, PKZMENU will run the virus checking program you specify whenever files are extracted. It will then notify you if a computer virus has been detected. The virus checking function is performed in the background and will not interfere with program execution. You can save the setting of the virus checking option to disk by using the Write setup to disk option. This will retain the setting so that it is the same the next time you use PKZMENU. Virus program - This option is used to specify the particular virus checking program you want PKZMENU to run. It is used in conjunction with the Check for viruses option explained in the previous section. Any of the usual virus checking programs are acceptable. Various virus checking programs are available on the PKWARE BBS. You can save the virus program to disk by using the Write setup to disk option. This will retain the setting so that it is the same the next time you use PKZMENU. 7-13 When you are entering the virus program, PKZMENU will prompt you with an area for typing in the program file name. You can also enter the drive/directory where it is located if it is different from the current directory, and it is not in the PATH statement. It will appear as shown in Figure 7-6. ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ Initial sort Name A-Z │ │√ Return to startup dir │ │√ Use mouse │ │√ 386 instructions │ │■ Check for viruses │ │ Virus program │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ _ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────────────┘ Figure 7-6 Virus Program Option If you have already specified a program using this command it will be displayed in the area provided. You can delete or edit the displayed file. List file - This option is used to specify a list file program. It is used in conjunction with the View file option of the Misc menu. Any of the usual file display programs are acceptable, such as LIST, TYPE, DISPLAY, or BROWSE. The first 11 characters of the list program and its location, will be displayed in the Setup menu. You can save the List file option that you set in the Setup menu so that the next time you bring up PKZMENU, the same program will be set. This information is saved in the PKZMENU.CFG file by using the Write setup to disk option. When you are entering a List file, PKZMENU will prompt you with an area for typing in the program name. You must also enter the drive/directory where it is located if it is different from the current directory, and is not in the PATH statement. It will appear as shown in Figure 7-7. If you have already specified a program using this command, it will be displayed in the area provided. You can delete or edit the displayed program. 7-14 ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ Initial sort Name A-Z │ │√ Return to startup dir │ │√ Use mouse │ │√ 386 instructions │ │∙ Check for viruses │ │ Virus program SCAN │ │ List file LIST │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ C:/UTIL/LIST │ └─────────────────────────── F1: Pause YES ┘ Figure 7-7 List File Option In the above example, the program being used is LIST.COM. It is located in the C:/UTIL directory. There is also a Pause option available with the List file option. Press the F1 key to toggle between Pause: YES and NO. If Pause is set to YES, when the list file program is done running a message will appear notifying you to press a key to continue and return to PKZMENU. This option is particularly useful when you are using the DOS TYPE program. NOTE: Some programs require the command options be passed last. For example if you want to use the /m option with the LIST program, it must be entered after the name of the file being listed (i.e. LIST STORY.DOC /m). To account for this, %1 can be inserted at the place where the filename is located when using the List file option. An example is shown below. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ C:/UTIL/LIST %1 /m │ └─────────────────────────── F1: Pause No ─┘ For more information on actually using the program that you have specified to list files, see Section 6, the Miscellaneous menu. StupenDOS - This option is used to specify the location and name, if you have renamed it, of the StupenDOS program. This program is a DOS shell program that can be accessed through the Miscellaneous menu. You can save the Stupendos program specifications to disk by using the Write setup to disk option. This will retain the setting so that it is the same the next time you use PKZMENU. When you are entering the StupenDOS program, PKZMENU will prompt you with an area for typing in the program file name and the drive/directory where it is located if it is different from the current directory, and it is not in the PATH. 7-15 Mouse Setup - This option is used to access a screen used to set various mouse parameters. It will appear as shown below. MOUSE SETUP ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ┌ Tracking Speed ─────┐ ┌───────┐───────┐ Mouse ║ ║ │ Slow Fast │ │ │ │ Character ║ ║ │ ├┬┼┬┼┬┼┬┼┬┼┬┼┬┼┬┼┬┤ │ │ L │ R │ ┌─┐ ║ ║ │ ^ │ ├───────┘───────┤ │^│ ║ ║ └─────────────────────┘ │ │ │v│ ║ ║ ┌ Double Click Speed ─┐ │ │ └─┘ ║ ║ │ Slow Fast │ │ │ ╔════════╗ ║ ║ │ ├─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┤ │ │ │ ║ OK ║ ║ ║ │ ^ │ │ │ ╚════════╝ ║ ║ └────────TEST─────────┘ └───────────────┘ ╔════════╗ ║ ║ ∙ Swap left/right buttons ║ Cancel ║ ║ ║ Set defaults ╚════════╝ ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Figure 7-8 Mouse Setup Screen The following mouse parameters can be set with this screen.

You can save the Mouse setup parameters in the Setup menu so that the next time you bring up PKZMENU, the same values will be set. This information is saved in the PKZMENU.CFG file by using the Write setup to disk option of the Setup menu. 7-16 SETUP - WRITE SETUP TO DISK ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This menu item is used to save any options you have set in the Setup menu to disk. By doing this, the options will be retained as you set them the next time (and times thereafter) that you run PKZMENU. The setup information is saved in the PKZMENU configuration file, PKZMENU.CFG. By default, this file will be located in the same directory where the PKZMENU.EXE file is located. When PKZMENU is run, the program will try to read the .CFG file from the current directory, if it does not exist, it will look in the environment path and finally where the PKZMENU.EXE file is located. By creating different .CFG files in different locations, you can have several different setup configurations available for running PKZMENU. To write the setup to disk, use the following steps. Step 1. Bring up the Setup menu. See the example on page 7-8 for details. Step 2. Access the Write setup to disk option. To do this, locate the cursor on Write setup to disk, and press the Enter key. You could also simply press the W key. To use the mouse, point to Write setup to disk, and click the left mouse button. PKZMENU will provide you with an area to enter the file location. An example is shown below. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ File name: C:/ZIP/PKZMENU.CFG │ └───────────────────────────────────────────┘ Step 3. Enter the file location. You can change the location of the .CFG file by editing the path location when it is displayed. Press the Enter key and the setup will then be saved to disk in a file called PKZMENU.CFG at the displayed location. 7-17 │ 8. EXIT │ │ Original Directory │ Current Directory │ │ 8-1 EXIT ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ┌────┐ │Exit│ ├────┴─────────────────┐ │ Original dir Alt X │ │ Current dir Ctrl X │ └──────────────────────┘ The Exit menu, shown above is used to exit PKZMENU. You have two exit options when using this menu: exit to the original directory, (the directory where you started PKZMENU from); or exit to the current directory, (the directory where the files displayed in the file display area are from). There are two short cut exit options available, Alt-X and Ctrl-X. Hold down the Alt key and press the X key (with no menus displayed) to bring up the Exit menu with the cursor located on the Original dir option. Pressing Alt-X with the Exit menu up, will exit the program to the original directory. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the X key (regardless of whether any menus are displayed), to exit the program to the current directory. You can also exit PKZMENU by pressing the Escape key. If you press the Escape key with no menus displayed, a window will appear instructing you to press one more key, either Escape or Enter. One key will exit to the startup directory and the other key will exit to the current directory. The functions of the Escape key and the Enter key are dependent on how you have the Return to startup dir option of the Setup menu set. The functions are summarized below.
