- FV - Verbose Archive Directory Lister
- Version 1.28 - April 6, 1990
-
-
- Purpose: To display the names and attributes of files contained
- within archive files with extensions of ARC, ZIP, PAK,
- DWC, LZH, ZOO, LBR and most self-extracting .COM and .EXE
- files created by ARC, ZIP, PAK, LZH.
-
- Format: FV [d:][path]filespec[.ext] [/p] [/b] [/w] [/r] [/x] [>outfile]
-
- Notes: If no operands are entered, a display of the program's
- command format is displayed.
-
- The drive and path are optional. The filespec may contain
- the wildcard characters * and ?. All files matching the
- file specification are processed.
-
- If the filespec extension is omitted, all known archive
- extensions are checked.
-
- Use the /p parameter to pause the display when the screen
- fills.
-
- Use the /b parameter to suppress the d:\path information
- in the display.
-
- Use the /w parameter to display member names only in a 5-up
- display.
-
- The /r redate option changes the archive file date to be the
- lastest date of the files within the archive.
-
- The /x option converts a self-extracting (.EXE) file to a new
- archive file with the proper extension and format in the current
- directory.
-
- Examples:
-
- o Display the directory of the TEST.ARC file, in the current
- directory:
-
- FV TEST
-
- o Display the directories of all archive files, but redirect
- the information to the file FV.DIR:
-
- FV * >FV.DIR
-
- o Print the directory of the file NUBIES.LZH in directory RTEST
- on drive A:
-
- FV A:\RTEST\NUBIESLZH >LPT1:
