M.S./COMPATIBLE MOUSE OPTIONAL SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: PC/MS DOS V2.11 - 4.X VIRUSCAN(tm) 6.3vXX or higher by McAfee Associates PKZIP(tm) v1.1X by PKWARE, INC. PAK v2.51 or higher by NoGate Consulting LHA212 or higher by Haruyasu Yoshizaki ARC602 or higher by Systems Enhancements PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: THE BRIDGE TERMINUS(c) is a SHELL utility for ARC, LHARC, PAK, and PKZIP archivers. THE BRIDGE features easy flat archive menu driven compression and extraction routines. It's ideal for the everyday user who is interested in 'getting the job done' . It is not necessary to have ALL of the archiver programs that are suppported by the BRIDGE. Users may select the archiver of their choice and all BRIDGE operations, i.e. extract, compress, SFX creation, filtered directory displays, etc. will then be directed to the selected type. TERMINUS accepts custom parameters and allows for user tailoring of most operations. Hands-free toggled virus detection is provided for both compress and extraction operations. McAfee's VIRUSCAN program is called up to scan all files extracted and those files which have been tagged for compression. THE BRIDGE uses an easy system of flexible defaults which are auto-configured when the program is first run to help speed up program installation. A path pick list is used to store frequently selected paths and provide the user with quick selection of source and target directories. THE BRIDGE was designed to run from a hard disk but will work satisfactorily if installed on a high capacity floppy. It caters to the low-end of the video standard spectrum by offering compatibility with IBM MDA monochrome, IBM CGA Color and those systems that utilize the IBM CGA standard but employ a money saving green, amber or white monochrome display device. TERMINUS may be worked from the keyboard or by a Microsoft compatibile mouse. This program does not attempt to incorporate every possible archive option offered by PKZIP, PAK, LHARC, or ARC. Instead, it offers a modest selection of menu powered options that can be used with ease in today's computer and telecommunication environments which demand user competence in the areas of file compression, extraction and computer virus infection prevention. THE BRIDGE TERMINUS(c) is simple, easy to use, it gets the job done! - PAGE 4 - ***** INSTALL THE BRIDGE TERMINUS(c): THE BRIDGE TERMINUS(c) operates most efficiently when used in conjunction with a hard drive. You may also use this program with 2 high capacity floppy drives(720K, 1.4MEG, 1.2MEG) or any combination of hard and floppy drives. The minimum for operation is ONE HIGH CAPACITY FLOPPY BOOT DRIVE and/or ONE HARD DRIVE. PKZIP(tm) files needed are : PKZIP.EXE; UNZIP.EXE; ZIP2EXE.EXE McAfee VIRUSCAN files needed: SCAN.EXE BRIDGE TERMINUS files needed: BRT21A.EXE; BRTHELP.EXE; BRTDPF.EXE; MS/PC DOS files required : COMMAND.COM PAK Compression Utility : PAK.EXE v2.51 or higher (command line verison) Yoshizaki LHA212 : LHA.EXE v2.12 or higher ARC602 : ARC.EXE, MKSARC.EXE HARD DRIVE: 1. Create one subdirectory for BRIDGE TERMINUS files, all others may be logically grouped into their own separate directories, i.e. all ZIP together, all ARC together, etc. The default table allows for separate dirs for each group. Also, it is not necessary to have every archiver listed(*see note*) 2. Copy all needed files to their respective subdirectories. 3. Run BRT21A.EXE either directly or from your shell, then press F5 to configure. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2 FLOPPYS : 1. Format a blank high capacity disk(*see note*) 2. Copy ALL needed files to this disk. Note that it is not necessary to have every archiver listed on this disk, just the one you wish to use. Having more than one allows you to switch between types while the program is running. 3. You MUST copy COMMAND.COM to the disk. 4. Run BRT21A.exe, then press F5 to configure. - PAGE 5 - NOTE: TERMINUS will not run satisfactorily in a system that uses only 360K disk drives and no hard drive, or uses a 360K boot drive with a high capacity second drive BUT NO hard disk.(disk space!) NOTE: The BRIDGE is a SHELL Menu Driver for the listed archive types. If you wish to switch between types while running the program you MUST have the archiver you wish to switch to clearly declared in the DEFAULT TABLE and all required files must be present at the specified location. NOTE: It is not necessary to have ALL archiver programs supported by the BRIDGE. The minimum requirement is ONE archiver. ***** CONFIGURE THE BRIDGE TERMINUS: THE BRIDGE TERMINUS(c) may be configured from the main program menu or any sub-menu while the program is running. It is highly recommended that you configure your paths and parameters when running the program for the first time. You may use separate directories for the compress or extraction process. Designate different target directories if so desired. Take your time and plan where you want the file action to occur for each of the functions. Make sure that you save the default parameters when you are done. Here is an explanation of the program parameters: BRIDGE TERMINUS PRGMS : Drive and directory where BRIDGE TERMINUS(c) files are located. COMPRESS - SOURCE PATH: The directory path that will hold all files that will be compressed. COMPRESS - TARGET PATH: Directory path where the compressed file will be created. This can be the same as the source path. EXTRACT - SOURCE PATH: This directory will contain the compressed file(s) that get extracted. EXTRACT - TARGET PATH: Directory where all the files that are extracted from the compressed file will end up. This can be the same as the EXTRACT FILE SOURCE path. McAFEE SCAN PRGM PATH: Location of SCAN.EXE SCAN.EXE - PARAMETERS: /A /NLZ /NOMEM (no modifications) SEA ARC PROGRAMS PATH: ARC.EXE and MKSARC.EXE location. YOSHI LHARC PRGMS PATH: Put LHA.EXE version 2.12 here. NOGATE PAK PRGMS PATH: PAK.EXE should be placed here. PKWARE ZIP PRGMS PATH: PKZIP.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE, ZIP2EXE.EXE - PAGE 6 - DOS SHELL PATH & FILE: Location and name of your DOS shell program i.e. D:\utility\command.com c:\tools\pctools.exe STARTUP ARCHIVE TYPE: Choose from the five types supported by the BRIDGE. This will be the type that TERMINUS will start with each time the program is run. COMPRESS/EXTRACT PWORD: Password for garble protection of archived files. CUSTOM COMPRESS PARAMS: Enter your custom parameters which will replace TERMINUS params when you press F4 while in the COMPRESS or EXTRACT submenu. CUSTOM EXTRACT PARAMS: Parameters for custom EXTRACT ***** FILE MANAGEMENT You may jump in and out of THE BRIDGE TERMINUS, each time copying, moving, deleting, etc. the files you choose. Just press F3 at any menu. THE BRIDGE TERMINUS will suspend operation while you are in your shell/utility. You can get back to THE BRIDGE TERMINUS by using the EXIT/QUIT function of your utility or by typing 'EXIT' at the DOS command prompt. DO NOT attempt to go back to THE BRIDGE TERMINUS by re-launching BRT21A.EXE instead of using your SHELL's 'EXIT' function. PCTOOLS V5.5 & V6.0, XTREE PRO and the NORTON COMMANDER were tested successfully with the 640K memory model*. You may even specify COMMAND.COM so that you have direct access to DOS. The BRIDGE TERMINUS program is very small and does not reserve much memory for code and data(145K). * It is reccomended that your system have 640K memory. You will need this much memory if you plan to run PCTOOLS v6.0 N.R. full blown shell from THE BRIDGE TERMINUS. Other shells need less RAM and will reduce the required memory reserve. See page #11 on how to determine available RAM. - PAGE 7 - SPECIAL NOTE TO USERS OF PCTOOLS(tm) PCSHELL: IF you add an entry to your application menu and run THE BRIDGE TERMINUS from there, you should not experience any problems. If you run BRT21A.EXE from the directory on your hard disk directly by pressing return or clicking when the file is highlighted and you have QUICK RUN 'ON' in your option menu, you will have much less memory to work with.(about 200K less) Turn QUICK RUN 'OFF' or add an entry to your applications menu and run it from there. Also, it is not advised to run PCTOOLS(tm) RESIDENT since this will eat up more memory needed for THE BRIDGE TERMINUS and the satellite programs. ***** MOUSE OPERATION: The two button Microsoft Mouse hardware specifications are supported by this program when used in conjunction with a color display/card that supports the IBM CGA C80 standard. The program's video mode auto-detect logic disables mouse operation if a Monochrome Display Adapter is detected. Only keyboard entry is functional in MONOCHROME video mode(IBM MDA standard). Logitech and all other Microsoft Mouse compatible mice should function properly. The program logic checks for a 'connected' mouse. You should not experience any trouble if your mouse is truly M.S. compatible, connected to the serial port or buss card, and the mouse driver software was installed prior to running this program. ***** DIRECTORY VIEWS: You may view the contents of the COMPRESS SOURCE, COMPRESS TARGET, EXTRACT SOURCE and the EXTRACT TARGET directories by clicking the mouse button when the cursor is over the letters A, B, C, D on the top function bar in the right hand corner. You may also press the CTRL key followed by the letter of your choice. ***** COMPRESS OPERATIONS: This version doesn't default the file list for COMPRESS operations as '*.*'. You MUST select a single file or a group of files for an archive operation. The directory for COMPRESS SOURCE files is the directory displayed when you are selecting a file group. If you don't tag any files or forget to specify an archive target file name, a message will be issued. SHORTCUT: If you wish ALL files in the SOURCE directory to be compressed - press <SHIFT> #8 and '*.*' will appear in the source file(s) window. - PAGE 8 - Lists of files can be archived in the following manner. Click or press enter when the file(s) you desire to add to the archive file are highlighted. Press <ESC> when you are through. Press #2 and enter a name for the archive target you are about to create. Select #3 and the list of files will be archived. If you have already made an ASCII text file list(see individual archiver docs for further information) just click or press enter on that file when it is highlighted in the COMPRESS SOURCE directory display(press #1). The first character of the archive list filename MUST be '@'. Select only one list at a time. Menu option #4 allows you to delete any file within an archive file. You may choose any archive from the source or target dirs. The files within the archive are then displayed. Choose one or several files to delete and then proceed. ***** EXTRACT OPERATIONS: One thing to remember here is that only the EXTRACT SOURCE directory is displayed for extract file selection. The directory display is filtered for the type of archive chosen. SHORTCUT: If you want ALL files extracted you don't need to tag files within. Press <SHIFT> #8 and '*.*' will appear in the extract file list window. ***** SDN FILE EXTRACTIONS: ARCHIVE files with the SDN extension are created and then distributed by the SDNet/Works! located in Meriden, Connecticut. They are essentially PAK archive files with a special security envelope. Since SDNet/Works! is the only source that can create these files, the BRIDGE supports just file extraction for this archive type. All you need to do is select PAK as the current archive type and the directory display for archive file selection in the extract submenu will automatically filter itself for only files with the SDN or PAK extension. Proceed as usual and either extract ALL(*.*) or tag files within first. ***** SFX - ZIP,PAK,LHA,ARC to EXE This submenu makes EXE self-dissolving files from the selected type. Select the directory where the file can be found. Chose from the four operation paths. Then select an archive. Press #3 to start the process. The converted file will be left in the same directory where the original file was found. *** NOTE: PAK will overwrite the original - make a backup if original is required. - PAGE 9 - ***** SELECT AN ARCHIVER TYPE: MAIN MENU selection #1 allows you to set all BRIDGE operations to a specific archive type, namely one of those listed: ARC, LZH, PAK, or ZIP. ALL BRIDGE operations will operate with respect to the chosen archive type. Each time you run the BRIDGE a default archive type will be chosen as the current mode for all operations. You may change this startup type by pressing F5-CHANGE DEFAULTS. Edit the default entry named 'STARTUP ARCHIVE TYPE'. Be sure to save your new defaults. This will allow you to custom tailor THE BRIDGE TERMINUS to the archive of your choice. You do not necessarily need any or all of the other archiver types supported by the BRIDGE unless it is your intention to actually use them. ***** NOTES ON PATH INCLUSIONS, RECURSION, etc: The BRIDGE TERMINUS doesn't DIRECTLY support path name inclusion or recursive archive operations. User defined custom parameters for compress and extract can be inserted which will make these operations possible. User defined parameters can be entered into the default table. Then, if you press F4 while you are in the COMPRESS or EXTRACT submenu you automatically disable all TERMINUS parameters and insert the custom ones you have entered into the default table. Please read the documentation that came with the archiver you have selected for current operation to get more specifics on parameter specifications. The BRIDGE TERMINUS v2.1A is designed to facilitate fast and easy 'BRUTE FORCE' flat archiving, the kind most often required by telecommunication BBS and data base users. Included path information is not top priority for this type of archiving. However, if you need paths included for your own personal use, we have provided a way to implement inclusion. Use the custom parameter entry for both compress and extract in the default table. Pressing F4 allows you to insert almost any legal parameter supported by the archiver type you have selected. Archives that were previously constructed with pathname info included as part of the filename are treated as if the pathname info were not there. This presents no problem to ARC, LHARC, and PAK. You may extract ALL(*.*) or tag within etc. TERMINUS will issue a warning if you attempt to TAG within before extracting from PKZIP archives with included pathname information. Simply press <SHIFT> <8> or the asterisk key(*) for ALL files and then proceed to extract. Create a user custom parameter if you wish to restore the paths.(Read your archiver DOCS) This parameter is placed in the default table and can be called up by pressing F4 while you are in the Compress or Extract submenu. - PAGE 10 - ***** PASSWORD PROTECTION: Press <F9> to toggle password on or off. The password protect mode scrambles each individual file in the master during the COMPRESS process. This is the only time that an individual file or group of files can be password protected. The master file, the file containing the individual files you COMPRESSED, does not get the password protection. Only the individual files within are protected. It is therefore possible to construct a master FILE that has some of it's files password protected and others which are not. This can be accomplished by adding one or several files at a time to the master and toggling PASSWORD on or off as needed. You can even have different passwords for different groups of files within a master file. The use of password scramble protection has many uses in corporate inter-office E-Mail, etc. The password can be changed by pressing <F5> and changing the password default parameter. Don't forget to save your changes when you are finished so that each time you run THE BRIDGE TERMINUS your first choice password will be loaded. The same PASSWORD default is used for both COMPRESS and EXTRACT operations. Not all archivers listed support password garble. Testing password protected archives may cause a bit of user concern. Most archivers will report a CRC checksum error or announce that the password protected file is corrupt. Some archivers offer an option to test with password. TERMINUS does not implement this feature. To properly test these archive files you should attempt to extract the files within using the correct password. - PAGE 11 - EXTRACTING files from a master that has some or all of it's individual files password protected is easily accomplished. Toggle password on by pressing <F9> , make sure you have the right password(press <F5> to change it), and extract as you would normally do. Make repeated passes if more than one password was used for different groups of file(s). You can't do any damage if you have the wrong password or the master file you have chosen doesn't have any password protected files within. IF you convert a password protected file to an EXE file you must use the correct password or the file will not self- dissolve. Assume the file you created was TEST.ZIP and you converted it to TEST.EXE . Also assume the password used was 'TERMINUS'. Typing the following from the DOS command line will do the trick: A> test.exe -sTERMINUS (PKZIP) A> test.exe g=TERMINUS (PAK) Do not use the character '-' or include any spaces in your password. PKZIP(tm) password protection is case sensitive so be aware that upper and lower case characters, i.e. 'Y' or 'y', are considered as being different. CAUTION!: Remember your password when compressing. There is no way to extract files within a master that are password protected if you don't have the right password! ***** MEMORY AVAILABLE FUNCTION: Memory available for BRIDGE, SHELL, and archiver operations can be found by pressing CTRL-F key combination while in ANY MENU or CHANGE DEFAULTS. Free memory for SHELL launch is also displayed each time you press F3 to go to your favorite shell. Reading the documentation which comes with your SHELL will reveal the memory required for proper operation. Compare this to MEMORY FREE to find out whether your SHELL will function properly when it is launched from THE BRIDGE TERMINUS. THE BRIDGE TERMINUS needs about 145K BYTES to work properly. This figure includes both program and data storage. The MEMORY FREE reported when using DOS V3.3 and running THE BRIDGE TERMINUS from PCTOOLS V6.0 non-resident is approximately 405K BYTES. This is sufficient to re-enter PCTOOLS V6.0 by pressing F3 -DOS SHELL whenever it is displayed in the lower menu bar. - PAGE 12 - The SAME AMOUNT of FREE MEMORY should be reported when you return to THE BRIDGE TERMINUS after using your SHELL. The amount of MEMORY FREE will decrease if your SHELL or utility TSR's do not release all memory previously claimed. Decreasing MEMORY FREE will also occurr if you do not 'EXIT' your shell and, instead, re-launch THE BRIDGE TERMINUS by executing BRT21A.EXE. Doing this will eventually allocate all remaining memory so that even THE BRIDGE TERMINUS will not work properly and you will be forced to do a hardware RESET. ***** DIRECTORY PICK LIST: A DIRECTORY PICK LIST is available when selecting directories for COMPRESS/EXTRACT target and source paths. The left mouse button is the same as the <ENTER> key and the right button is equivalent to the <ESC> key. Pressing <ESC> leaves the PICK LIST with no changes made to the defaults. If you press <ENTER> while 'NEW ENTRY' is highlighted you may select a new path. There are a total of 15 PICK entries. You may continue to enter new paths after the 15th spot is filled. Each new path will then be placed at the END of the list and the FIRST entry(#1) will be deleted to make room. You may start from scratch simply by using your DOS SHELL to delete/rename the file BRT.PCK prior to running THE BRIDGE TERMINUS. This yeilds the same effect as running the TERMINUS for the first time since the pick file will not be created on disk until the end of the first work session and all positions in the list will be labeled as NEW ENTRY. Starting from scratch with all entries in the PICK LIST designated as 'NEW ENTRY' is easy. Press <ENTER> and the PATH FINDER will be executed. 1) Select the drive you wish to scan. 2) Select one of the displayed paths found on the drive that was scanned. This selection now becomes part of the new pick list. ***** AUTOCHECK VIRUS SCAN: You will need to have McAfee's SCAN.EXE program in the directory specified in the default table. The AUTOCHECK function is available during COMPRESS or EXTRACT. This function is turned on by pressing F8. All the files you select to be placed into an archive are first submitted to virus scan. The COMPRESS process will be aborted if a virus is detected. You can bypass this feature by turning AUTOCHECK off.(F8 toggles state). All files that are EXTRACTED from an archive are automatically checked for virus infection. Please register SCAN.EXE with McAfee Associates if you use it with the TERMINUS. - PAGE 13 - ***** VIRUS SCAN SUMMARY: VIRUS scanning of individual files to be compressed or of those that have been extracted is accomplished by driving McAfee's VIRUSCAN program, SCAN.EXE A. VIRUS SCAN is can be toggled ACTIVE during COMPRESS or EXTRACT operations. B. THE ENTIRE COMPRESS SOURCE PATH is scanned if you elect *.* by pressing SHIFT #8 or the asterisk(*) key. Otherwise only those files selected are scanned. BRIDGE will abort before creating the archive if a virus infection is found. C. The ENTIRE EXTRACT TARGET PATH is scanned, not just the files that were extracted if you do not 'TAG WITHIN'. This should not cause a problem since McAfee's VIRUSCAN is extremely quick. D. Virus scanning is not active during the creation of SFX files. ***** AUTHENTICATE VERIFY: ( PKZIP(tm) ) It is possible to utilize this PKZIP(tm) parameter function feature(provided you have FULL PKZIP registration) by including the -! parameter in your custom parameters. Now, With the TERMINUS version 2.1A you can toggle the -! parameter on and off by pressing CTRL-V while you are using the ZIP archive type. The -! parameter is automatically sent to PKZIP(tm) when Authenticate is on. A screen message, 'AUTHENTICATE ON!', will be continuously displayed when the toggle is in the ON position. Authenticate Verify adds a 'tamper check' on your original files and assures the end user that the files he has UNZIPPED were truly generated by the original author or source. The Authentication Verification feature of PKZIP(tm) can only be used if you have FULLY REGISTERED your copy of PKZIP(tm)! - PAGE 14 - ***** AUTOMATED PATH SELECT: Each submenu has a 'change path' function which is initiated when CTRL-P key combination is pressed. You are first given the choice of which path to change: COMPRESS SOURCE or TARGET, EXTRACT SOURCE and EXTRACT TARGET. The PICK LIST is then displayed after you make your selection. You may choose from one of the PICKS on your list or choose NEW ENTRY. A list of valid logical drives is displayed if you select NEW ENTRY. Select which drive you want to search for a new path on. The next screen displays all found paths/directories on the drive you selected. Only those 35 characters or less with either normal or hidden attributes are available for selection. The 35 character limitation is imposed to help reduce possible command line overflow errors during virus scan or archiver operations. The drive path scan will go 15 levels deep with a maximum of 200 paths reported for each completed drive scan. These key strokes will produce the following results: <PGDN> <PGUP> = Display next or previous window page. <ENTER> = Selects highlighted path. CTRL-N = Select new drive and path. CTRL-P = Hardcopy print of the path list with stats. CTRL-T = Creates an ASCII text file of the path list in the ROOT directory of the drive that was scanned. <ESC> = Quit and return to submenu. HINT: If you create an ASCII text file of the paths on your drive while you are using the path find function you can then use your word processor or text editor to create additional PICK LISTs. Each list may have a maximum of 15 lines with each 35 characters max long. ***** BULLETIN BOARD POSTING: The preferred way to post THE BRIDGE TERMINUS on local bulletin boards, Compuserve, PClink, America ONline, etc. is to upload the original PKZIP Authenticated archive with the filename: BRT21A.ZIP Keeping the filename as shown above will help all system operators from getting duplicate files with different names. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter. - PAGE 15 - **** DOS BATCH FILES: This might be considered a function for intermediate to advanced users. Some users of TERMINUS have constructed custom DOS BATCH files which they use to perform a variety of functions like, file copying & deleting, recursive ZIPs, etc. MAIN MENU selection #5 allows you to select a DOS batch file and execute it right from TERMINUS. This version of BRIDGE TERMINUS allows the user to select batch files found on ANY logical drive and/or subdirectory. Read your DOS manual for more information on DOS BATCH file syntax and construction. ****************** Registration of this product will give the user the most recent copy of THE BRIDGE TERMINUS(c), one update as described in BRT.DOC, and technical assistance / user help for TERMINUS.
