- REM-ADS.EXE (c) - Version 3.1
- (c) 1992, Michael H. Knoll - Star Systems
- Compiled 03/17/92
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- REM-ADS.EXE (c) is Shareware. You may distribute the full original
- archive freely under the condition that no modifications are made to it.
-
- This program, quite simply, removes bulletin board advertisements from
- .ZIP (c) files, clearing up much needed space. I ran this program on my
- bulletin board upload drive, which was 165 Megs of data and REM-ADS (c)
- removed 15 Megs of other bulletin board advertisements The program uses
- PKZIP (c) and STRIPAV, so you will need these programs in your path.
-
- File needed by REM-ADS Version 3.1 :
- ------------------------------------
- REM-ADS.EXE - of course the main program.
- * REM-ADS.LST - the file containing the list of BBS ads
- to be removed.
- * REM-ADS.CMT - the file containing the new zip comment.
- (c)PKZIP.EXE - used to physically remove the ads for the
- archived files. (NEEDS TO BE IN PATH)
- STRIPAV.EXE - used to remove the authenticity verification
- flag from the .ZIP (c) files. Packaged with
- REM-ADS (c) Version 3.1
-
- Please note that the files with an asterisk next to them are totally user
- configurable. Any new ads that you may want removed, will have to be placed
- into the REM-ADS.LST.
-
-
- Command line options of REM-ADS.EXE (c) is as follows :
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- /i - Initialize. - Used on the command line
- alone, will prompt you for the directory
- name that REM-ADS.LST resides in and allow
- you to input your serial number and
- registered name.
-
- /a d: - All Drive x. - Allows the user to specify
- which drive to process. REM-ADS.EXE (c)
- will process the full drive, all
- directories on the drive.
-
- /s d:\dir\filename.ZIP - Single File x. - Allows the user to
- process only a single file (filename), the
- .ZIP (c) extension is assumed. This works
- great for bulletin boards for new uploads.
- Please note that this option is only
- available in registered versions.
-
- Please note : You may not use /a & /s at the same time.
-
-
- I have been informed of a counting error within REM-ADS (c). This is not
- an actual error. What happens is that when PKZIP (C) removes a 0 (zero)
- byte file, the zip is then updated and it is actually more bytes than the
- original archive. While it can be annoying, the 12 bytes (average, from
- what I have seen) does not make a big difference. Those users who will be
- adding a comment to the .ZIP will see a greater addition to the archives.
-
-
- Registration for REM-ADS.EXE (c) will be available by mail only, by the
- order form attached to the end of this document.
-
- PKZIP & .ZIP are copywritten by Phil Katz/PkWare.
- STRIPAV.EXE
- REM-ADS.EXE is copywritten by Michael H. Knoll/Star Systems.
