VIEWARCH
This utility is designed to be used in PCBVIEW.BAT. The ARC filename you
specify as the first parameter will be examined. If the file is a valid ARC
file, a list of the files contained in the archive will be written to
PCBVIEW.TXT. When PCBoard returns from PCBVIEW.BAT, it checks to see if
PCBVIEW.TXT exists. If it does, the contents of the file are displayed to
the caller. Using this method, your callers will be able to see a list of
files in an archive.
Example
In the PCBVIEW.BAT that is supplied with your copy of PCBoard, you will see
the following line:
viewarch %1
Upon returning from running PCBVIEW on a file with an ARC extension, a report
resembling the following will be put in PCBVIEW.TXT and displayed by PCBoard:
