- Library function V - Verbose File List
-
- This command displays a list of files contianed within a compressed file.
- You will be prompted for the file names that you wish to view when you
- issue the "V" command. Type the desired names, separated by spaces. If
- you press [ENTER] without entering a filename, you will return to the
- Library Menu.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. You can stack the V)iew command with the desired file name. That is,
- you can enter "V <filename>" directly from the Library Menu. For
- example, you could type "V RBBS-PC.ZIP" to view the contents of
- RBBS-PC.ZIP.
-
- 2. You must only try to View files that are compressed with a supported
- extension. RBBS-PC supports ZIP, PAK, ARC, and LZH, and the sysop has
- the option to install support for others. Entering a file with an
- unsupported extension, such as EXE, will return a message stating that
- the view is not implemented for that file.
-
- 3. V supports only exact matches and not "wildcards". For example
- "V LIST*.ZIP" will not list LIST60J.ZIP.
-
- 4. Your Sysop may optionally allow you to "peek" at files within the
- compressed file. This will allow you to "browse" text files before
- downloading the compressed file they are in.
