- Rombrain supports the viewing and reading of any Archive file format,
- via a batch file. Before Rombrain shells to the batch file, it will
- create a temporary directory on your selected work drive, or the
- current drive if no work drive is selected.
-
- Parameters passed to ARCBRAIN.BAT by ROMBRAIN.EXE
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- %1 = Full Path/Name of the Archive File to process
- %2 = Type of Archive: ARC, ZIP, ARJ, LZH, PAK, etc.
- %3 = Name of the file to extract or Read from the Archive
- %4 = Destination Work Directory and Filename
- %5 = View, Read or Transfer Flag (VIEW if viewing directory)
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When a user selects the View Archive Command, Rombrain will shell
- to a batch file called ARCBRAIN.BAT. This file goes in your BRAINEX\ROMBRAIN
- Directory. This batch file must invoke the compression program so that
- it creates a listing of the archive. The listing is redirected
- to a file called ARCDIR.TXT, which must be placed into the CDWORK
- Directory. Rombrain will delete this file after it has shown to the user.
-
- When a user selects the Read from Archive Command, Rombrain will
- extract the file specified by the 3rd parameter passed to the batch file.
- The file must be extracted into the CDWORK directory. After displaying the
- file, Rombrain will delete it.
-
- When a user selects the Transfer from Archive Command, Rombrain
- will extract the file specified by the 3rd parameter. The file must
- be extracted into the CDWORK directory. After transferring the file,
- Rombrain will delete the file.
-
- The CDWORK directory will be removed when a user exits Rombrain.
- Under normal circumstances, you should not need to edit ARCBRAIN.BAT
- unless you wish to add special parameters or additional compression
- programs.
-
- IF YOU GET ARCHIVE ERRORS...
- Run Rombrain with the DIAG command, this will prevent Rombrain
- from hiding the error messages produced by the various archive
- programs. Format: ROMBRAIN DIAG
