- 'ZIPTV' is a small zipfile text-view utility. It allows you to
- directly list out text files in a zipfile without first extracting them.
- This version is compatible with network filesharing. It is based on the
- zipfile text-view function in ProDOOR. Run ZIPTV without parameters
- for a summary of command syntax.
-
- This utility can be used as a simple DOOR in systems that can provide
- one or more filespecs for zipfile viewing.
-
- This utility is compatible with PKware PKZ090.EXE, PKZ092.EXE and
- PKZ101.EXE file formats.

- Revision history
- ----------------
-
- 2-16-89
- Initial alpha test release. Not all compression methods are
- implemented.
-
- 2-18-89
- The 'unshrink' procedure is now working partially. It stops when the
- 'partial clear' code is received (this happens after about 30k of
- text has already been seen). This version of ziptv is probably good
- enough for general use. Look for a fix to this last unshrink bug in
- the next week.
-
- 3-5-89
- First fully operational release; should correctly unzip all
- compression methods. First public release of source code.
-
- 3-10-89
- Cleaned up error messages during carrier loss and timeout. Reduced
- memory needs by about 12k during unshrinking.
-
- 3-14-89
- Fixed a new bug in 3-10 version that caused endless message scrolling
- when carrier was lost. Added code to detect local operation. If A
- -p1 or -p2 parameter is provided, but carrier is not present when the
- door initializes, it will assume "local mode via PCBoard" and will
- disable the carrier check. This should allow sysop access to ZIPTV
- via pcboard's F V function. If a caller is online and drops carrier
- just as ZIPTV loses carrier, the program will time out and recycle
- the board after the time specified in the -T parameter.
-
- 4-7-89
- Corrected time-left calculation when crossing over midnight.
-
- 7-18-89
- Added automatic support for EGA 43 line screen modes.
- Added partial support for dos version 2.
-
- 9-1-89
- Beta release supporting PKZ101 "implode" compression format. This
- version has not yet been optimized for speed or memory and probably
- has some bugs.
- 9-5-89
- Optimized memory usage during un-Implode operation.
- Added -L option to control lines per page.
-
- 9-9-89
- Added support for non-standard COM port configurations. To use
- com ports other than the normal COM1 and COM2, you can now insert the
- following statements in your batch file:
- SET COMBASE=nnnn ;port base I/O address (decimal)
- SET COMIRQ=n ;port IRQ setting
-
- Released as ZIPTV20.ZIP.
