EZ CO*DE RELEASE 2.1 A COMPRESSION/DECOMPRESSION UTILITY SHELL COPYRIGHT 1992 CHARLES HILL USEFULL CONCEPTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1303 B CARLISLE DRIVE SAN MATEO, CA. 94402-1917 USA CONTENTS GETTING INTRODUCED ............ 1 GETTING INSTALLED ............. 2 GETTING ACQUAINTED ............ 2 GETTING STARTED ............... 4 GETTING THE PICTURE ........... 8 GETTING LEGAL ................ 12 GETTING REGISTERED ........... 13 VERSION HISTORY .............. 14 PAGE 1 GETTING INTRODUCED * ABOUT THIS MANUAL Since EZ CO*DE is meant to make your life simpler, we'll try to keep this manual simple too; telling you just what you need to know. After you have "tinkered" around with it for a while, the auto help lines in the program will be all you'll need. * WHAT IS EZ CO*DE? EZ CO*DE is a shareware computer shell program which, when used with a compatible archiving utility, provides the user with a menu driven multiple choice method of enjoying archiver benefits; including efficient use of valuable disk space and cost/time savings with telecommunications. EZ CO*DE allows simple file COmpression/DEcompression or more sophisticated tasks, if your situation calls for them. EZ CO*DE supports .ZIP, .LZH, .PAK, .ARC, .SDN, .ARJ, and .ZOO files, along with their self extraction (.EXE) counterparts (with the exception of .ZOO where self extraction files can be created but not manipulated). * WHAT IS NEEDED TO RUN EZ CO*DE ? You must have one of the following archiving programs. To use the features of Self Extraction, Recursion and/or Fixing for some of the archiving programs you will also need the programs shown in the following table. They can be attained from the combination of GENIE, COMPUSERVE AND PCLINK. These program(s) must be installed in a directory in your path. EZ CO*DE SUPPORTS ALL OF THESE METHODS. ┌─────────────────────┬──────────────┬────────────┬──────────────┐ │ Archive │ Needed For │ Needed For │ Needed For │ │ Program │ Self Extract │ Recursion │ Fixing │ ├─────────────────────┼──────────────┼────────────┼──────────────┤ │ PKZIP & PKUNZIP 1.1 │ ZIP2EXE 1.1 │ None │ PKZIPFIX 1.1 │ │ LHA 2.13 │ None │ None │ N/A │ │ PAK 2.51 │ None │ None │ N/A │ │ ARJ 2.22 │ None │ None │ N/A │ │ ZOO 2.1 │ SEZ 2.3 │ STUFF 1.0 │ N/A │ └─────────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────┴──────────────┘ * None means the option is included in the archive program. * N/A means the option is not supported by EZ CO*DE. EZ CO*DE will run on any IBM compatible XT/AT computer using DOS 2.1 and higher and supports any Microsoft compatible mouse. It requires about 220K of working memory, plus memory for your archiving utility. It is desirable to have a hard disk drive but you can use either a 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" floppy drive. EZ CO*DE supports CGA, EGA or VGA. Hercules is not supported. PAGE 2 GETTING INSTALLED Simply put a copy of EZCODE.EXE in a directory in your path. You may change the name to suit your needs (ie EC.EXE). To run type <EZCODE>. GETTING ACQUAINTED When your main screen appears that is all you'll have to deal with. All of your work will be accomplished from here. First, notice the top Cyan (blue/green) bar. It looks like this : Extract Add Move Delete Remark SFX Misc Sort View File Disk CPF This will be refered to as the main menu. Note that CPF is an abbreviation for Compression File. At the very bottom is another blue/green bar which looks like this. <Alt=Menu> <T=Tag> <U=Untag> <F9=DOS> <F10=Quit> Now, lets try it out. - MOUSE USERS - (Keyboard users, see next section) "Click" refers to the left mouse button, the only button used with EZ CO*DE. Move the mouse over "Extract" on the main menu and click. You will see a pop-up menu listing the choices for extraction. Do not be concerned with the choices just now. Note the help line at the bottom telling you what the highlighted choice will do when executed. Move the mouse down the menu to highlight each choice and notice the auto help line change. Now, move the mouse over "Add" on the main menu and click. Examine each item as you did before. Do this with the remaining main menu items. When you are finished move the mouse over the currently displayed main menu item and click. Your screen will be restored. Easy so far ? It doesn't get any worse. Next, notice the dark blue bar where the clock is. This displays the current directory; the one you entered the program from. This will change as you will see later. Below that on the left is a window named "DIRECTORY". Here you see all the files in the current directory. This window is highlighted indicating that it is the active window. Move the mouse over the down direction arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar in the "DIRECTORY" window and click to scroll down the list. As you do so, notice that the path of each file is displayed in the dark blue bar next to the bottom. Clicking the mouse in the scroll bar area above and below the file marker causes the window to page up and down respectively. You can also highlight any item in the window by moving the mouse over it and clicking. PAGE 3 Now move the mouse into the "CPF" window area, that is the area to the right of the "DIRECTORY" window, and click to highlight it. This is where your list of compressed files will appear later. If you need to exit the program, move the mouse over <F10=Exit> at the bottom and click. - KEYBOARD USERS - Press <Alt>. You will see a pop-up menu for the first main menu choice "Extract". Do not be concerned with the choices just now. Note the help line at the bottom telling you what the highlighted choice will do when executed (when <Enter> is pressed). Use your down direction key to highlight each choice and notice the auto help line change. You may also use the <Page Up>, <Page Down>, <Home> or <End> keys for speed. Now, use your right direction key to move across to each main menu choice; examine each item as you did before. When you are finished press <Esc> and your screen will be restored. Press <Esc> at any time to restore your screen, and your confidence. Easy so far ? It doesn't get any worse. Next, notice the dark blue bar where the clock is. This displays the current directory; the one you entered the program from. This will change as you will see later. Below that on the left is a window named "DIRECTORY". Here you see all the files in the current directory. This window is highlighted indicating that it is the active window. Now, use your down direction key to scroll down the list. As you do so, notice that the path of each file is displayed in the dark blue bar next to the bottom. Now press the right direction key and the "CPF" (compression file) window will be activated. This is where your list of compressed files will appear later. If you need to exit the program, press <F10>. - MOUSE AND KEYBOARD USERS - Feel free to experiment and become acquainted. EZ CO*DE will not break. In the unlikely event you make a "MISTAKE", there are lots of friendly error messages to get you back on track without ruining your day. Next we will do some serious computing. PAGE 4 GETTING STARTED NOTE: While this program supports all of the archivers shown on page 1, for the sake of simplicity our tutorial will use only PKZIP, PKUNZIP and the .ZIP extension. If you use another system, use the extension required instead of ZIP. There will be minor differences in some of the menu items. This section deals with a few everyday uses for a program such as this and is in the form of a hands on tutorial. If you are already a guru, then you may skip this and go to the section called GETTING THE PICTURE. If you are a semi-guru, then you may want to skim it. Everyone else, read on. * SELECTING FILES FOR COMPRESSION - STEP 1 - MOUSE USERS - First, to enter a directory where the files you want to compress are located, move the mouse over "Disk" on the main menu and click. Next, move the mouse over "Directory Maint" and click. Note, whenever a menu choice is followed by "...", an additional prompt will appear asking for more information. You now see a list of all the directories in the current drive. Scroll through the list to your choice and click. Note : If the item appears in the window then you don't need to scroll, just move the mouse over that item and click to highlight it. Next move the mouse over " OK " at the bottom of the window and click. Your DIRECTORY window now displays all files in that directory. If the DIRECTORY window is not highlighted move the mouse to the DIRECTORY window side and click to highlight it. Now, move the mouse over a filename and click to highlight it. Next move the mouse over <T=Tag> and click. An asterisk will appear in the "TAG" column confirming the file has been chosen. You can select any number of files in this manner. They can be consecutive or random. If you need to DE-select a tagged choice, move the mouse over that filename and click to highlight it. Then move the mouse over <U=Untag> and click. Go ahead and tag any desired files. Don't worry, your original files will be preserved as is. Now you will create a new Compression File to store your tagged files. * COMPRESSING SELECTED FILES - STEP 2 Move the mouse over "CPF" on the main menu and click. Next move the mouse over "Input CPF" and click. You will be prompted to enter a name for the compression file. The box shows the path of the directory you are in. If you want the Compression file to go to that path, which you do, then just add the name for your new Compression file (ONE THAT DOES NOT EXIST). (ie <TEST.ZIP>. You could direct the file to another drive and/or path by changing the path in the prompt box (ie A:\TEST.ZIP). Now, move the mouse over " OK " and click. Notice the right window now displays the name TEST.ZIP (or other extension), and reports that it is new. Not for long. PAGE 5 Now you are ready to Compress and store the files you have tagged. Move the mouse over "Add" on the main menu and click. (MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE ADD MENU AND NOT THE MOVE MENU). We'll see why next. Move the mouse over "Overwrite" and click. Your choices now are "Highlighted","Tagged" or "Input". Since you are compressing tagged files, move the mouse over "Tagged" and click, then over " OK " and click. Your screen will go black and report that Compression is taking place. When you click to return, you will see that the TEST.ZIP Compression file contains the files you tagged. - KEYBOARD USERS - First, to enter a directory where the files you want to compress are located, press <Alt> to activate the main menu system and move across to the item "Disk". Select "Directory Maint". Note, whenever a menu choice is followed by "...", an additional prompt will appear asking for more information. You now see a list of all the directories in the current drive. Scroll through the list to your choice and press <Enter>. Your DIRECTORY window now displays all files in that directory. If the DIRECTORY window is not highlighted use the left direction key to highlight it. Now, use your down direction key to position the red highlight bar on a file name and press 'T', the tag key. An asterisk appears in the "TAG" column confirming the file has been chosen. You can select any number of files in this manner. They can be consecutive or random. If you need to DE-select a tagged choice, place the red bar over that file and press 'U', the untag key. Go ahead and tag any desired files. Don't worry, your original files will be preserved as is. Now you will create a new Compression File to store your tagged files. * COMPRESSING SELECTED FILES - STEP 2 Again use your <Alt> key to activate the menu and move over to "CPF". Note the help line instruction. For now choose "Input CPF". You will be prompted to enter a name for the compression file. The box will show the path of the directory you are in. If you want the Compression file to go to that path, which you do, then just add the name for your new Compression file (ONE THAT DOES NOT EXIST). (ie <TEST.ZIP>. You could direct the file to another drive and/or path by changing the path in the prompt box (ie A:\TEST.ZIP). When you press <Enter> you will notice the right window displays the name TEST.ZIP (or other extension), and report that it is new. Not for long. Now you are ready to Compress and store the files you have tagged. <Alt> to your menu and move to "Add" (MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE ADD MENU AND NOT THE MOVE MENU). We'll see why next. Select "Overwrite". Your choices now are "Highlighted","Tagged" or "Input". Since you are compressing tagged files, choose "Tagged". After pressing <Enter> your screen will go black and report that Compression is taking place. When you press <Enter> to return, you will see that the TEST.ZIP file contains the files you tagged. PAGE 6 - MOUSE AND KEYBOARD USERS - * SOME DETAILED EXPLANATION OF OPTIONS - STEP 3 The "Move" option on the menu offers the same choices as does "Add", and works the same way, with one important exception; "Add" simply copies the files to Compression; "Move" actually moves the files into Compression. In other words the original files are deleted. Before using "Move", refer to GETTING THE PICTURE and the archivers documentation for a full explanation. When you used the "Add" option to Compress your files, you chose "Tagged". Two other options were available. "Highlighted" (self explanatory) and "Input". "Input" allows you to enter the name of any file or use wildcard characters to define a group of files. You must include the path where the files are located, unless the files you are referring to are in the current directory. The "Update" choice under "Add" and "Move" will add a file ONLY if it is new or if it has the same name as a file already in the Compression File and it is more recent. The "Freshen" choice will add a file ONLY if it has the same name as a file already in the compression file and it is more recent. * FILE EXTRACTION - STEP 4 - MOUSE USERS - For demonstration purposes, let's assume that it is time for a break. Move the mouse over <F10=Exit> and click to exit the program. Re-enter, <EZCODE>. Now let's Decompress those files you Compressed in the last section. If you are not in the directory containing TEST.ZIP, go through the steps above to select that directory. Next move the mouse over "CPF" on the main menu and click. Move the mouse over "Select CPF" and click. A popup window appears listing all of the Compression Files in this directory. Included is TEST.ZIP which you created. Move the mouse over TEST.ZIP and click to highlight it. Then move the mouse over " OK " at the bottom of the window and click. Notice TEST.ZIP is now displayed in the right window. Next move the mouse to the TEST.ZIP window side and click to highlight it. Tag all the files in TEST.ZIP. Now you are poised for extraction. Move the mouse over "Extract" on the main menu and click. Choose "Check Overwrite" and then "Tagged". You are then asked for the destination directory (where files will be extracted). The default is the current directory. Accept the default by moving the mouse over " OK " and clicking. Your screen will go black and display a message telling you that these files already exist and ask for confirmation Y/N. This is a safeguard to warn you that a same name file exists in the extract directory. Choose Y to extract each of the files. On return note that TEST.ZIP still contains the files. PAGE 7 Now lets delete the files in TEST.ZIP. Highlight the TEST.ZIP window and tag all the files. Activate the "Delete" menu (this DELETE is for compression files only - see help line), choose "Tagged" and " OK ". The files are deleted. Now to delete TEST.ZIP, highlight the DIRECTORY window and highlight TEST.ZIP. Activate the "File" menu, choose "Delete" and then "Highlighted". After clicking on " OK ", the file will be deleted. - KEYBOARD USERS - For demonstration purposes, let's assume that it is time for a break. Exit the program <F10>. Re-enter, <EZCODE>. Now let's Decompress those files you Compressed in the last section. If you are not in the directory containing TEST.ZIP, <Alt> to menu and over to "Disk". Select "Directory Maint." and select that directory. Go to the CPF menu and select "Select CPF". A popup menu will appear listing all Compression Files in this directory. Included will be TEST.ZIP which you created. Choose TEST.ZIP. Next highlight the TEST.ZIP window and tag all the files using 'T'. <Alt> to the "Extract" menu, select "Check Overwrite", then "Tagged". You are asked for the destination directory (where files will be extracted). The default is the current directory. Accept the default. Your screen will go black and display a message telling you that these files already exist and ask for confirmation Y/N. This is a safeguard to warn you that a same name file exists in the extract directory. Choose Y to extract each of the files. On return note that TEST.ZIP still contains the files. Now lets delete the files in TEST.ZIP. Activate the TEST.ZIP window and tag all the files. <Alt> to the "Delete" menu (this DELETE is for compression files only - see help line), choose "Tagged". The files are deleted. Now to delete TEST.ZIP, left direction key to the directory window and highlight TEST.ZIP. <Alt> to the "File" menu and choose "Delete" and then "Highlighted". After pressing <Enter> the file will be deleted. - MOUSE AND KEYBOARD USERS - The "Overwrite" choice under "Extract" will extract and overwrite any files with the same names and extensions. Use this only if you are sure you will not be overwriting any files you want to keep. The "New" and "Freshen" choices were defined under "Add" and "Move". This concludes the tutorial. You now have a good idea how to operate EZ CO*DE. The next section "GETTING THE PICTURE" explains all the options available to you. If you have a problem, please notify USEFULL CONCEPTS. PAGE 8 GETTING THE PICTURE IMPORTANT: The copyrighted documentation that came with your archiving utility goes into great detail on the functions available with that program. THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT. EZ CO*DE supports most of the functions for these programs. Listed here are the functions supported by EZ CO*DE along with descriptions of their use WITH EZ CO*DE. To use other features of your archiver, use the DOS command line. This should be a rare occurrence. * EXTRACT The function of "Extract" is to Decompress files from the Compression file and store them in a directory of your choice. You can use "Highlighted", "Tagged" or "Input" to define the files you wish to extract. Input allows you to enter a filename or you may use the DOS wildcard characters to define a group of file(s). The options for "Extract" are outlined below. Check Overwrite ... : Checks your chosen directory for file(s) with the same name. If any are found you will be asked if you want to overwrite them. Overwrite ... : Extracts the chosen files and will overwrite any existing files with the same name. Update ... : Extracts the chosen file(s) if they are new or if they have the same name and are more recent than the files in the chosen directory. Freshen ... : Extracts the chosen file(s) if they are same named and more recent than the file(s) in the chosen directory. * ADD The function of "Add" is to Compress and add selected file(s) from a directory to the Compression File in the Compression File window. You can use "Highlighted", "Tagged" or "Input" to define the file(s) you wish to add. The options for "Add" are outlined below. Add ... : Compresses chosen file(s) and will overwrite same named files. Be sure you have selected the proper compression file(s) then press <Enter>. Update ... : Compresses chosen file(s) if they are new or if they are same named and more recent than the files in the Compression File. Freshen ... : Compresses chosen file(s) only if they are same named and more recent than the files in the Compression File. PAGE 9 * MOVE This function works the same as "Add" except that it deletes the selected directory file(s) after they are added. WARNING : The file(s) selected will be deleted regardless of whether or not they meet the "Update" or "Freshen" criteria. * DELETE The function of "Delete" is to delete selected file(s) from the Compression File in the Compression File window. NOTE : To delete DIRECTORY files, see the "File" menu. You can use "Highlighted", "Tagged" or "Input" to define the file(s) you wish to delete. * REMARK This function will allow you to enter descriptive comments to your Compression files or to the individual files within. See the documetation for the archiver you are using for a full explanation. * MISC This function contains the options listed below. Create SFX : The SFX function creates a new EXECUTABLE file (ie TEXT.EXE) from a Compression File (ie TEST.ZIP) which will self extract these files when you enter the name <TEST> at the command line. The name given to the new file will be the same as the name of the compression file. Test CPF : The test function will test the integrity of a Compression file and report any errors found in the Compression file. Fix CPF : The fix function will attempt to repair a damaged or corrupted Compression File. This can be used in the event the test function reports errors or anytime you feel a Compression file is in need of repair. PAGE 10 * FLAG This function lets you toggle on or off; directory/path use, recursion use, password use and/or authenticity use. When these flags are activated, a flag character will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. The flag characters are : D Directory\path use R Recursion use P Password use ! Authenticity use Here are some general explanations for these flags. Because each archive method has its own idiosyncrasies, you should see the documentation for the particular archive method you are using. Directory\path use : When this flag is activated, compressed files will be stored with their path names and decompressed files will be extracted to their paths. You will be asked to enter the base directory when this option is activated. The base directory is the directory from which the archive program will be executed. Recursion use : When this flag is activated, you will be prompted to enter the directory and filespecs for recursion. Recursion compresses all files given by the filespecs in the directory specified and all its subdirectories. Password use : When this flag is activated, you will be prompted to enter passwords when it is appropriate. Usually this is when you are compressing, extracting and viewing files. Authenticity use : Currently this flag is only applicable to .ZIP files. When this flag is activated it will put authenticity verification on the Compression File when you are compressing files. * SORT This function sorts the files in the higlighted window and sets the sort filter, so that future directory and CPF selections will be sorted likewise. By Name : Alpha sort by name. By Extension : Alpha sort by the three letter file extension. By Length : From shortest to longest length in bytes. By Date : From earliest to latest creation date. PAGE 11 * VIEW This function uses EZ CO*DE's file viewing utility for the viewing options listed below. This first rate text/hex view utility can view files up to 16MB, search and find text, go direct to line numbers and print out any part or all of a file. It has a unique capability called cursor control which allows you to count characters in text and bytes in hex. The viewing utility has a help screen which explains all of the functions available. View File : This option will view the file that is highlighted from either the Directory window or the Compression File window. View CPF : This selection will allow you to view the contents of the current compression file in the archivers format. View CPF w/path : This the same as VIEW CPF, except it will include path information. View CPF w/tech : This is unique to .ZIP files. It is a detailed technical view of the contents of a Compression file. * FILE The function of "File" is to give you the DOS file handling capabilities from within the program. You can use "Highlighted", "Tagged" or "Input" to define the files you wish to act on. The "Tagged" option is a valuable tool which can execute in one command, what would take you any number of commands from the DOS command line. The options are self explanatory. * DISK The function of "Disk" is to give you the main DOS directory and drive handling capabilities from within the program. Again, here the options are self explanatory. * CPF The function of "CPF" is to make your Compression File selections. You will be limited to using only Compression Files for which you have the corresponding archive program(s) for. The options are defined below. Select CPF ... : This option allows you to select a Compression File from those in the current directory. Input CPF ... : You must use this option to choose self extract files and to create new Compression Files. You can also include pathnames allowing you to select Self Extract Files and Compression Files from any drive and/or directory.
