FS Zip Extractor
Funduc Software, Inc.
Copyright 1999-2001, All Rights Reserved
http://www.funduc.com
Thank you for using Funduc Software utilities!
This is FREEWARE, Copyright 1999-2001 Funduc Software Inc.
The Funduc Software ZIP Extractor allows you to share zip files
with another person who might not have an unzip software on their
computer. Self-extracting zips are an executable .exe file that
unZIP automatically (after prompting).
FS Zip Extractor allows some or all files to be extracted and can
create the paths in the zip file (default) or "flatten" the
directory structure (unzip into a single path) in the zip if one
exists. The user can also control whether to overwrite existing
files or not.
See below for more detailed instructions and information on some
of our other products.
New in versions 1.1-1.3:
- Support for encrypted zips.
- Option for overwriting existing files.
- Option for preserving the directory structure when extracting.
- Allowing the user to select only some of the files to extract.
I hope the program comes in handy,
Mike Funduc, President Funduc Software Inc.

====================================================================
To Create A Self-extracting Zip - Directory Toolkit Users
---------------------------------------------------------
(Note: These instructions are also in the Directory Toolkit
version 3.4 F1 hlp)
1. Install FS Zip Extractor into the subdirectory of your choice.
2. Place a copy of 'FsZipX.exe' into the same path that Directory
Toolkit is installed in. The default path used by the Directory
Toolkit installer is c:\tools\dirtkt.
3. If the zip does not already exist, create a zip file that you
want to turn into a self-extracting zip.
4. Use Directory Toolkit to open the zip you want to turn into a
self-extracting zip and highlight the 'folder' icon at the top of
file listing.
5. Press ctrl+M or select 'Make Self-Extract' from the
Directory/Archive Menu.
6. Verify the file name and path and click on the OK button.
To Create A Self-extracting Zip - Do Not Have Directory Toolkit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Make the self-extractor using one of the methods below. All
involve "concatenating" (which means 'combining') the self-
extractor stub file, fszipx.exe, with your zip file and then
naming the target file with an .exe extension.
a. "Concatenate" self-extractor stub file, fszipx.exe, and the zip
file using the Concatenate dialog of Directory Toolkit or
Explorer Extensions. You be sure that fszipx.exe is the first
file in the list. Be sure to name the target with an .exe file
name suffix.
b. You can also concatenate fszipx.exe and the .zip manually via
the built-in DOS copy command. For example, to create a self-
extracting version of a zip named "My Zip.Zip", issue the
following command from a MS-DOS box or the Start Menu run
command:
For example:
COPY /B "c:\Tools\FsZipX\FsZipX.exe" /B + "d:\my path\MyZip.Zip" /B "d:\my path\MyZip.exe"
NOTE: The above assumes you have FsZipX.exe located in the
c:\Tools\FsZipX subdirectory. Modify this string to suit where
you located FsZipX.exe on your computer.
c. Open an MS-DOS box and run 'MakeFSZipX.bat' which is included
in with the self-extractor, fsx.exe. We created 'MakeFSZipx.bat'
as an aid (with some additional checks) to the above manual
concatenate method. 'MakeFSZipX.bat' expects to be located in
the same path as fszipx.exe. Type 'MakeFSZipX' without any file
names to get some usage guidelines.

Search and Replace for Windows 95/98/ME NT/2000 (shareware) -
Search and Replace looks through multiple files for a string and
can also replace it with another string. It can search
subdirectories and ZIP files and do case sensitive or insensitive
searches. Extensive support for regular expression (egrep) search
& replacement includes operations that span more than one line,
insertion of the path & filename during replacements, and
incrementing number replacements. Binary search & replace mode can
be combined with regular expressions. Precise control over
replacements is available through multiple confirmation options
and a built-in context viewer that allows you to view replacements
in-context, before they are made. A built-in script editor makes
frequent &/or complex multi-step search/replace operations easy to
prepare. Advanced script operations include a boolean expression
evaluator that provides additional control over which files are
processed by the script. Advanced scripts also allow you to
specify the program options in effect and insert comments in
scripts. Multiple file masks and file date & size filters can be
used to include &/or exclude files during regular and scripted
operations. The internal context viewer includes a build-in editor
for editing text files. The full complement of command line
switches (including script launching) is ideal for network
managers & advanced users. Other functions include: "Touch" files
(change time/date stamp & file attributes); Preservation of
original file date during replacements; Replacements on backup
path files instead of the originals; Output reports to monitor
operations; Shell extensions to launch Search & Replace from
Explorer and the Find Menu; and more. Separate executables for
Win3x and Win95/NT and a detailed help file with examples are
included. Several foreign language interface are available from
http://www.funduc.com. Cost: $25
Directory Toolkit (shareware) - A multipurpose directory
comparison and file manager that provides features missing from
Windows 95/98/ME NT/2000. It displays single directory lists or
side- by-side directory comparisons using color coding for alike,
different, or missing files. Comparisons can be based on dates or
a binary file analysis of file content. You can copy, move, &
rename files while retaining long filenames and six built-in
synchronize functions simplify updating directories. Built-in
archive functions, with Explorer shell extensions, let you create
& manage archives from Explorer and use Directory Toolkit as your
primary archive manager for supported archives (ZIP, TAR, & GZ).
File operations and directory comparison functions work seamlessly
on files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract files
first. Other features include statistics for file counts and path
sizes; Ignoring filename case during comparisons; Explorer
compatible OLE drag n Drop; Split/Concatenate files to/from
diskettes; Encode/Decode UENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), and
XXENCODE formats (Decode also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded,
& plain text); An integrated comparison viewer for a color coded
display of the actual differences in files; Safe physical sort of
directories; Touch files (change time/date & attributes stamps);
Find duplicate files on a drive; Open files and launch
applications; Multiple include/exclude file masks and the ability
to include/exclude files based on size and date; Command line
switches to automate comparisons & synchronize operations via
batch files; Configurable output file and print functions to
create reports of single and comparison directory lists; Detects &
runs (optionally) setup programs in archives; File numbering to
number files sequentially based on adjustable sort order and a
user defined starting value. Help file with examples included. A
complete German version and Japanese language module are available
from http://www.funduc.com. Cost: $25
Registry Toolkit (shareware) - Registry Toolkit is a utility for
advanced computer users that performs search &/or replacement
operations on the Windows 95/98/ME/ NT/2000 registry. You can
search/replace using case sensitive or insensitive settings and
regular expressions in registry data, values, keys (or any
combination) and specify the types of data to process. If you
cancel a search the results up to that point (if any) are
displayed in a tree list. You can print and print preview the
search results, import or export parts of the registry to/from
text files, create and edit keys, values, & data of all types,
delete keys & values (after confirmation), and undo the last
changes made. Registry Toolkit will operate on a remote registry
(if you have permission to do so). Cost: $25
Shortcut Doctor (shareware) - Shortcut Doctor allows you to check
all your Windows 95/98/ME NT/2000 links/shortcuts and see which
contain targets which can no longer be found. You can then delete
the shortcuts, resolve them or replace all shortcuts pointing to a
certain drive or directory with another (after validation of new
path is made). Individual shortcuts can be edited and all
shortcuts on a drive can be displayed, regardless of whether they
are valid or not. CD- ROM drives or network drives can be ignored
during processing. Cost: $15.
Funduc Explorer Extensions (shareware) - Explorer Extensions allow
you to perform additional tasks using a familiar interface: the
Windows 95/98/ME NT/2000 Explorer. You can split and concatenate
files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode UUENCODE, Base64(Mime),
BinHex(Mac), and XXENCODE formats (Decode also includes printable,
7 bit unencoded, & plain text), Touch files (change time/date
stamp as well as attributes). Cost: $15.
Drive Bar (shareware) - Drive Bar allows you to conveniently open
views of your drives in Windows Explorer. Drive Bar's Auto Hide
function allows it to disappear from view when not in use so that
it does not take up screen space when not in use. You can resize
Drive Bar and have it remain visible at all times if you like. You
can also specify a File Manager program to use instead of Windows
Explorer, launch drive views as "Tiled" or not, not include
specified drives in the list of drive icons, and have Drive Bar
run automatically at Windows startup (see Options). Cost: $10.
Sort and Slice (shareware) - Sort and Slice allows easy sorting
and/or reformatting of Column Delimited files.The program can skip
header lines, use regular expressions to process variable data and
has a User Interface that allows the user to graphically determine
the correct processing parameters. You can also remove repeat
lines from files and pad fields during the sort. Command line
switches and scripts are available to easily manage frequent
operations. Cost: $25.
Delivery Agent (shareware) - Delivery Agent is a send- only email
program for use by web site managers and network administrators.
It allows you to easily deliver frequently used email messages (&
attachments) as text files, which can then be sent to one or more
users by simply selecting a message and entering the users'
addresses or by providing a file that contains a list of
addresses. The settings & message files may be managed with a text
editor if you like and the program can keep a log of message
activity. The program uses SMTP services for message delivery and
does a POP check prior to sends for servers that require IP
address verification before relaying is permitted. Cost: $25.
HexView for Windows (freeware) - HexView allows you to view,
print, print preview of any file as a Hex Dump. HexView is
intended as a free companion program to our utility, Search and
Replace. However, it is a standalone application and you are free
to use it as you see fit. The source code (C++ using MFC 4.x or
higher) can be downloaded for free from http://www.funduc.com.
INI to Registry for Windows (freeware) - This program works well
with any program that relies on .ini files. It can read the
contents of any INI file and load them into the Windows 95/NT
registry. That way programs which previously used INI files can
read the old data from the registry. The program is free. The
source code is available for 25. Please E-MAIL mime@funduc.com for
information on purchasing the source code.
Decode Windows Shell Extension (freeware) - This Explorer
extension provides a subset of the decoding features available in
Directory Toolkit. It allows you to decode a UUENCODED,
XXENCODED, BinHex or Base64(MIME) file by simply right-clicking on
it in the Explorer and selecting Decode from the menu. It
supports multiple attachments, multi-part files (already
concatenated), XXENCODED and User (table) encoded files in
addition to UUENCODED, Base64(MIME) and BinHex (Mac format) files.
Count Characters (freeware) - This little app was written to: a)
Allow users to dump the contents of combo, edit and list boxes as
well as static and button fields to the clipboard. This can come
in handy for browser lists, as well as items displayed by other
applications to which you otherwise have no access. b) To help
users understand how applications are built (what types of
controls are used). Other tools are available for this of course
but they are usually known only to programmers. c) To allow users
to know at any time how many characters they have typed in an edit
box. This might be useful, for example, if a site asks you to
only enter a certain amount of data in their fields but don't tell
you that you went over until it's too late. Depending on the
editor, html authors might also find this handy for double
checking the length of meta tags. Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT
versions included.
Limit Edit (freeware) - Expands upon the built-in limit feature
for edit boxes and rich edit controls by letting you set your own
maximum size settings for the amount of text permitted in edit
boxes and rich edit controls. For example, you could use Limit
Edit to set a limit on the amount of text allowed in an instance
of the Notepad text editor. Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT
versions included.
Patch Creator (shareware) - Created for software authors, this
program is used to make patches for updating registered versions
software. Both the patch creator and patch applicator are easy to
use GUI programs. The creator is a Win 95/98/NT utility. It can
create either 16 or 32 bit patches that are self- contained in a
single GUI .EXE. Compression can be used to reduce file size. You
can require passwords (or not). Files on users' machines can be
updated from a specific version, added regardless of existing
version, removed or renamed. Cost: $75.
Decode/Encode DLLs (shareware) - Also a developer tool, the
Decode/Encode DLLs can be called from any Windows programming
language (such as VB, Visual C, Powerbuilder, etc.). It allows
you to automatically detect if a given file is UUENCODED,
Base64(MIME), XXENCODED, BinHex or encoded with a user-supplied
table. The DLL can then decode the file(s) either in the current
directory or in one specified by the user. Binary files can also
be encoded for transmission over the Internet. Cost: $58.
Resellers are welcome to put this product on any CD- ROMs or other
distribution media without asking for specific permission. Watch
