- PROGRAM USAGE
- -------------
- To run the program, all you have to do is at your DOS prompt type in
- ZIPRITE and press enter. The program will ask you two short questions
-
- 1) What will be the destination ZIP file name, this could be a path
- and file name or just a file name. Keep in mine that you should
- point this file to a hard disk. When zipping from a floppy drive
- you should always zip to a hard disk.
-
- 2) What floppy diskette will you be making a compressed file from.
- This can ONLY be drive A: or B: no other drive will be permitted.
-
- then sit back and watch the program do all the work. After the file is
- created PKUNZIP is run with the -t option to test the ZIP to ensure that
- the file created, was created correctly.
-
- NOTE: This program will only work if you use PKZIP(tm) 1.10. You must
- have PKZIP/PKUNZIP in the same directory as ZipRite or in your
- PATH statement.

- HISTORY
- -------
- 12-12-92 ˛ Released Version 1.00
- ˘ Program written in VISUAL-BASIC for MS-DOS 1.0.
-
- 12-21-92 ˛ Released Version 1.10
- ˘ Corrected a couple of spelling mistakez.
-
- ˘ Added support for command line. You may now enter
- your filename and floppy diskette on the command
- line. (example: ziprite c:\vbdos\newfile.zip b)
-
- ˘ ZipRite will now create a file named 'ZIPRITE.INI'
- this file has a number of uses. This file, if
- not present will be created in the same directory
- the ziprite.exe file is located. Once created
- this file will have a number of purposes, all
- information in this file will be updated every
- time the ZIPRITE is run. If you need to create
- a new .INI file just delete the old one. This
- file can also be edited with any text editor you
- see fit to use.
-
- ˘ Added a prompt for program SERIAL/REGISTRATION
- number. What this prompt does is, if the program
- your zipping requires a serial/registration number
- then you would enter this number in the supplied
- box. Once entered ZIPRITE will create a new file
- name 'SERIAL.NUM' with the number in it. ZIPRITE
- will add serial.num to the zip file that was just
- created.
-
- ˘ Made a few cosmetic changes to a few of the screens.
