Version 1.01 of ZiPMe
This is ZiPMe, a 32-bit multithreaded zip shell for the Presentation Manager
of OS/2 2.x that helps you to manage zip archives of the INFO-zip versions
zip.exe 1.9 and unzip.exe 5.0. Newer ZIP versions can be used, if there is no
change in the command line arguments. The files zip.exe and unzip.exe must be
in a directory with a path set on it in the config.sys.
ZiPMe is compiled by the emx gcc version 0.8g. Put emx.dll (copyright by
Eberhardt Mattes), the runtime library of the emx gcc, in a directory with a
libpath set on it in the config.sys. If you have an older version of emx.dll,
you should replace it by this one that comes with ZiPMe.
ZiPMe is a bit like PMZip. I needed a zip shell for zip and unzip and not for
pkzip and pkunzip and so i wrote ZiPMe. I think it is a little bit more
modern because it has a button bar and it is multithreaded that means you
can extract some large archives and at the same time you can create a new
one and view files in another one.
I hope some of you like my program. If you find some bugs please send me
a mail.
Here is a list of the files and an explanation:
read.me this file
hlp2inf.cmd a rexx script that makes an inf file of a hlp file
you can make a zipme.inf of the zipme.hlp file with it
emx.dll the runtime library or the emx compiler; put it in a
directory with a libpath on it
german\zipme.exe the german version of zipme
german\zipme.hlp the german help file of zipme
english\zipme.exe the english version of zipme
english\zipme.hlp the english help file of zipme
These files are made of zipme:
zipme.ini in this file the fonts and window size and positon
is saved
zipme.1 ... zipme.999 temporary files of zipme which are usually deleted
when zipme is ended. If you see some of these files
after zipme has been ended, perhaps because zipme
crashed, you can delete them
Changes and bug fixes to Version 1.0
- the zipme.ini and the temporary files now are placed in the directory
from which zipme.exe has been loaded and not in the current work directory
( many thanks to Kai Uwe Rommel from München, who showed me how to get the
directory from which ZiPMe has been loaded )
- the english help file has been corrected
( many thanks to Peter Landstreet from Toronto, who corrected the help file )
- problems with long pathnames have been solved
- problems with repainting the statusline have been solved
- behavior of extracting files has been changed:
if no path has been given of the option "Create directory with name of
archive" has been activated the extracted files and directories now are
placed in the actual work directory and not in the root as they have been
in Version 1.0
- directory handling for extracting files has been optimized
( My question to the programmers of unzip.exe:
Why didn't you have added the options to pass the files you want to extract
in a filelist file as you can do for zip.exe and to give a target directory
where to extract the files as you can do for pkunzip.exe. This would make
a lot of things much easier. )
Thanks to all who sent me comments and suggestions about ZiPMe. Because this
is my first PM program (I just did it to learn how to make a PM program) and
the first program I uploaded to the Internet, I didn't expect such a feedback.
I am happy that you like my program so much.
