- ZIPDS - Zipfile Date Stamper
- v1.2, 01-03-91
- Copyright 1991 Samuel H. Smith
-
-
- This utility can be used to QUICKLY update the date/time stamp on a
- bunch of Zipfiles. It also checks for truncated or garbled ZIPs (it
- does not verify the CRC, but still catches about 80% of all bad
- Zipfiles.)
-
- It will update my entire upload directory in less than a minute. When
- used with 'sweep' (or similar) it can be used to globally update all
- Zipfiles on your system.
-
-
- Usage: zipds *.ZIP [>OUT]
-
- Sets non-0 errorlevel on truncated or corrupt Zipfiles
-
-
- Example:
- zipds d:\upload\*
- if errorlevel 1 goto errors
-
-
- I write ZIPDS because PKZIP 0.90 cannot update zipfile timestamps
- without also updating at least one member file, making it impractical to
- use for batch updates.

- Revision History
- ----------------
-
- 02-19-89 v1.0
- Initial release
-
- 03-03-89 v1.1
- Added error messages compatible with ProDoor for faulty zipfiles.
- This is required when testing zipfiles under prodoor 2.8 and 2.9 due
- to the inconsistancy of error messages generated by 'PKUNZIP -t'.
-
- 03-04-89 v1.1a
- Slight change in output format to prevent ProDoor from displaying the
- directory in which the file resides. Changed date-stamp logic to
- prevent removing date entirely on corrupt zipfiles.
-
- 01-03-90 v1.2
- Changed logic to prevent an endless series of error messages on
- ZIP files containing AV codes.
