- INTRODUCTION
-
- ZIP Identifier has a single purpose: to tell you if a ZIP
- file was produced with PKZIP 1.0, 1.1, or 2.04. It works
- on a single file or directory at a time. If run on a directory,
- the results may be written to the screen or printed to a file.
- If a single ZIP was identified, ZIP Identifier will return a DOS
- errorlevel indicating the ZIP version in addition to writing to
- the screen. (See your MS-DOS documentation for more information
- on errorlevel.)
-
- errorlevel meaning
- ----------------------------
- 0 version 1.0
- 1 version 1.1
- 2 version 2.04
- 3 can't identify
- 4 can't open ZIP file
- 5 can't open report file
-
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Place ZIPID.EXE in a directory that is included in the PATH
- statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- ZIP Identifier is run from the DOS command line with this form:
- zipid [filename | [directory-pathname] [report-name.TXT] ]
-
- "filename" can be of the form "name.zip" or "name".
- Pathnames can also be used.
-
- "directory-pathname" is of the form "c:\dir1\dir2\dir3\".
- The final "\" must be included.
-
- If "report-name.TXT" is used, the output will be sent to
- this file instead of being written to the screen. This
- parameter can only be used when running ZIP Identifier
- on a directory. The extension must be ".txt".
-
- EXAMPLES : "zipid" will identify all the ZIP files in
- the current directory
-
- "zipid results.txt" will identify all the ZIP files in
- the current directory, placing output in RESULTS.TXT
-
- "zipid frk14" will identify the file FRK14.ZIP in the
- current directory and set a corresponding errorlevel
-
- "zipid \tp\source\ zipid.txt" will identify all ZIP files
- in the directory \tp\source\ of the current drive
- The results will be placed in a file named ZIPID.TXT
-
- "zipid a:\" or "zipid a:" will identify all ZIP files
- in the root directory of drive A
