- There are a few undocumented features in ZZAP. I'm telling you about them
- because I trust you (don't tell anyone). Since these are undocumented,
- they are completely unsupported. Don't complain if things don't work
- perfectly when you use these extras and don't even consider calling me
- wanting customer support regarding them!
-
- The command line switch /Z enables and disables I/O redirection. If you
- include /Z- on the command line none of the inputs or outputs of the
- executed arc programs will be redirected. I added this option so I could
- watch the "action" of programs when I test ZZAP without having to change
- my configuration file.
-
- Besides using %1 to indicate the placement of the archive file name on
- the command lines (in the configuration file), there are a few other
- placement characters:
-
- %D - The drive letter without a colon, e.g. C
- %E - Archive extension without a period, e.g. ZIP
- %F - File name and extension (no path), e.g. MYFILE.ZIP
- %N - Filename only, e.g. MYFILE
- %P - Pathname only, e.g. C:\ARCHIVES
- %S - Pathname with a backslash, e.g. C:\ARCHIVES\
- %1 - The full path and name, e.g. C:\ARCHIVES\MYFILE.ZIP
