- INTRODUCTION
-
- Zip A Directory is intended for use on hard disks only. It zips
- directories and subdirectories into ZIP archives, removing all
- the files and directories. Zip A Directory calls PKZIP to create
- a new ZIP archive, which will have the same name as the directory.
- The tree structure of the subdirectories is saved in the ZIP.
- For example, the files and subdirectories in \PROGS\RTNS\LIB12 will
- be zipped into an archive called \PROGS\RTNS\LIB12.ZIP .
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Place ZAD.EXE and PKZIP.EXE in a directory that is included in the
- PATH statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Zip A Directory is run from the DOS command line with this form:
-
- zad [? | [directory-path] [-0 | -x] ]
-
-
- "directory-path" is of the form "\dir1\dir2\dir3\".
- The final "\" is optional.
-
- The optional switch "-0" (zero) will force PKZIP to store files in
- a ZIP without compressing them.
-
- The optional switch "-x" (zero) will force PKZIP to use its maximum
- file compression algorithm.
-
- If neither of the above are used, PKZIP will do a normal compression.
-
- Examples : "zad -x" will create a ZIP containing all files in
- the current directory and all of its subdirectories,
- using PKZIP's maximum compression
-
- "zad \tp\source\bak -0" will create \TP\SOURCE\BAK.ZIP,
- storing files in and beneath this directory without
- compressing them
-
- "zad ?" will print the command-line options on the screen.
-
