- * ZIPKIT9 Companion to PKZ110.EXE { 05/22/90 }
-
- 1: Copy all programs to the UTILITY directory on your hard drive.
- 2: Set PATH= statement to include UTILITY directory.
- 3: All executables must have file attributes which allow reading.
- 4: Memory available must be 250k +
-
- TOZIP.EXE *.*
-
- Version 5
-
- This program will convert file collections from various compression
- techniques to the enhanced compression levels available through the use
- of PKZ110.EXE.
-
- You must have in your possession a copy of PKZIP.EXE from the PKZ110.EXE
- compression programs collection and a copy of one or more of the following.
-
- ZOO (1.22, 1.31, 1.50, 2.00, 2.01)
- PAK (2.01, 2.10)
- DWC (A4, A4.5, A4.91, A4.92, A4.93, A4.94, A5.01)
- LHARC (1.0, 1.12, 1.13)
- PKUNPAK (3.61)
- PKXARC (35A - You must rename this to PKUNPAK.EXE )
-
- NOTE: It is recommended that you use the highest version for all of the
- above mentioned compression programs. Use of an earlier version may result
- in error messages from that compression program that it does not understand
- the compression method in use.
-
- All of these executables must reside on your DOS path and have attributes
- that are NOT read only.
-
- Options needed to run - none - (default compression -ex (MAXIMUM compress))
- (process all files)
-
- Options available to run - SET ZIPLEV=? (Where ? is EX,EI,ES)
- SET ZIPTIME=? (Where ? is ARCHIVE)
- (Where ? is a date - YYYYMMDD)
- SET ZIPDEPTH=1 (Recurse into current collection)
-
- Ex: SET ZIPLEV=EI (IMPLODING on all files)
-
- See PKWares documentation for more info on compression levels.
-
- SET ZIPTIME=ARCHIVE results in only those files which have their archive
- bit set to be processed.
-
- SET ZIPTIME=YYYYMMDD results in only those files dated equal to or
- greater than the set date to be processed. Ex: SET ZIPTIME=19890401,
- results in files dated equal to or greater than '1989 April 01' to be
- processed.
-
- If SET ZIPDEPTH=1 is SET then an extra call to TOZIP will be made to
- attempt to TOZIP any other file collections that may be present in the
- parent file collection.
-
- If errors are encountered during processing, a file titled PKERRORS.LOG
- will reside in the same directory as TOZIP. This file contains a list
- of file collections that in someway are corrupted.
-
- File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
-
- Note that erred file collections are not processed to .ZIP files.
-
- ZIPCOMNT.EXE *.* comment or ZIPCOMNT.EXE *
-
- Options needed to run - none
-
- Options available to run
-
- SET ZIPLINE=1
- SET ZIPCOMNT=path
- SET ZIPTIME=x (Where x is ARCHIVE, or x is a date YYYYMMDD)
-
- Where comment is your desired comment to be added to ALL requested file
- collections. If ZIPLINE=1 is set, the comment will be placed directly
- following 'Searching ZIP: path/file '. If ZIPLINE is not set, the
- comment will be padded with two CR's to allow a longer comment which will
- avoid any possible word wrap which may occur in long path names. In this
- version the comment is limited to 117 characters. It is advised that you
- do however keep the comment limited to 79 characters. Experiment with a
- ZIP to see the format which will be presented.
-
- If ZIPCOMNT=path is set, ZIPLINE is then ignored. ZIPCOMNT=path is
- the full drive:\path to a file which contains a desired comment. To
- create a comment file use your favorite ascii editor. When complete
- experiment on a ZIP to judge the presentation.
-
- To run ZIPCOMNT with a comment file use the command ZIPCOMNT.EXE *
-
- Ex: SET ZIPCOMNT=C:\UTIL\COMMENT.FIL
- ZIPCOMNT *
-
- To remove unwanted comments from ZIP files
-
- Ex: SET ZIPLINE=1
- ZIPCOMNT *
-
- See TOZIP options for SET ZIPTIME=
-
- SNGLCMNT.EXE filename or SNGLCMNT.EXE
-
- Options needed to run - none
-
- Options available to run - SET SNGLCMNT=path to comment file
-
- This program will allow you to add informative comments to ZIP file
- collections. This will allow you and your users to easily recognize
- ZIP collections that are not often accessed/utilized. You may either
- specify a filename at start-up or you may select the desired ZIP file to
- comment with the built in dir search and selection routines. A general
- help routine is available by function key when SNGLCMNT is started.
- COMMAND.COM and PKZIP.EXE must reside on the path with attributes that
- are NOT read only. If you SET SNGLCMNT to point at an existing file
- created with any ASCII editor, that file will be loaded into the edit
- screens buffers at program start-up. You may then enter or alter the
- screen to add to that which is already present.
-
- REZIP.EXE *.*
-
- Version 5
-
- This program will maintain all ZIP collections for you. It will if desired
- recurse all .ZIP collections in the parent .ZIP collections root entries to
- gain the enhanced compression levels available from the PKZ110.EXE file
- collection programs. You must have in your possession a copy of PKZIP.EXE
- and a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE. These executables must reside on your DOS path
- and have attributes that are NOT read only. When REZIP is processing
- files, an extra call may be made to REZIP to try to REZIP any ZIP files
- that may be present in the parent ZIP collections root entries. If you do
- not feel that this step is necessary then do not use the SET ZIPDEPTH
- option. Note that the file count allowed in a ZIP collection can not be
- greater than 900 files. If paths were stored then the directory count
- allowed in a ZIP collection is 50 directories.
-
- Options needed to run - none - (default compression -ex (IMPLODING))
- (process all files)
-
- Options available to run - SET ZIPLEV=? (Where ? is EX,EI,ES)
- SET ZIPTIME=? (Where ? is ARCHIVE)
- (Where ? is a date - YYYYMMDD)
- SET ZIPDEPTH=1 (Recurse ZIPs in parent ZIP)
-
- Ex: SET ZIPLEV=EI (IMPLODING on all files)
-
- See PKWares documentation for more info on compression levels.
-
- SET ZIPTIME=ARCHIVE results in only those files which have their archive
- bit set to be processed.
-
- SET ZIPTIME=YYYYMMDD results in only those files dated equal to or
- greater than the set date to be processed. Ex: SET ZIPTIME=19890801,
- results in files dated equal to or greater than '1989 August 01' to be
- processed.
-
- If SET ZIPDEPTH=1 is SET then an extra call to REZIP will be made to
- attempt to rezip any other ZIP files that may be in the top entries of the
- current ZIP collection.
-
- If errors are encountered during processing, a file titled PKERRORS.LOG
- will reside in the same directory as REZIP. This file contains a list
- of ZIP collections that in someway are corrupted.
-
- File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
-
- Note that erred ZIP collections are not Rezipped.
-
- CLNZIP.EXE *.* file/s_to_delete
-
- Allows selective deletes of unwanted files from selected ZIP files.
-
- See TOZIP options for SET ZIPTIME=
-
- CHKZIP.EXE *.*
-
- Options needed to run - none
-
- Options available to run - SET ZIPKILL= (any thing)
- SET ZIPTIME= (See TOZIP options)
-
- To check integrity of your ZIP collection files. See PKERRORS.LOG
- for files reported erred. Note that warnings are also posted to
- PKERRORS.LOG as ERROR IN FILE.
-
- If ZIPKILL is set to any setting, erred file collections are then
- deleted when errors or warnings are encountered. A list of those
- files deleted will be listed in PKERRORS.LOG. If you do not wish to
- utilize this option then do not SET this environment variable.
-
- * If you must abort the programs as they are running then HOLD Ctrl/Break
- until the system prompt presents itself. External processes must be
- allowed to finish before Ctrl/Break is picked up.
-
- * All programs are network compatible. Locked and inaccessible files are
- bypassed. Note that users must have root directory access.
-
- * Note that .LOG file may be present after run of CHKZIP, CLNZIP, REZIP
- or TOZIP. It is meant to be used at a later date by yourself.
-
- The final .LOG file is processed into the directory where the .EXE
- of the program run is located.
-
- * Process speed is dependent on several items. Set times can vary due to
- system technology, compression levels chosen and the number of files to
- be processed.
-
- * Sample setup files
-
- For config.sys
-
- shell=command.com/p/e:512
- break=on
-
- For autoexec.bat
-
- path=c:\pkwares;c:\dos;c:\utility
-
- set ziptime=archive { only files with archive bit set }

- with contents of c:\comment.fil }
