General Information

Assigning Names to Directories and Drives:
It is possible to assign a name to a directory in the drive and dir list. This can be achieved by defining in Standard Adjustments/Paths, for example:
c:\windows>Win95
Most commands that need some pathnames or filenames as arguments accept this assigned name (here: Win95) as drivename. Therefor you can enter, in the path gadget for example:
Win95
and you will be put to c:\windows.
You can access the file win.ini in the c:\windows directory by entering:
win95:\win.ini
This cuts some things short !
PCOpus supports using the rundll32. You can define a button that calls any of these Win95-System-functions that open one of those wll known dialogs. Try this one for example, it opens the System-properties
*!winstandard rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
Just define a button with an external command and enter the line above.

Using the mouse and mousebuttons/Drag-Drop
PCOpus makes use of nearly any combination of the mouse and the mousebuttons. Following is a list and the descriptions for all possibilities in the directory windows:

The Standard Requester
PCOpus uses an internal standard requester for error reports, rename, makedir, etc. Well, nearly everything is done with this requester.
When you have to enter something into the (lower) text-gadget, you can use

You may search through all entries by pressing the keys more than one time.
You may find this useful perhaps.

Supported Filetypes:

The whole archive support was programmed without a single line of documentation. So it is easily possible that you stumble over an archive file that is not correctly read. Please send an EMail with an exact description of the problem to msiegris@student.uni-kl.de If there is an urgent need for support of any other archive-type, I will try to implement them on request.
NOTE 1: PCOpus can use Info-Zips unzip32.dll. Info-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip and related utilities) is free and can be obtained as source code or executables from Internet/WWW sites, including http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
NOTE 2: PCOpus can use E.Roshals unrar.dll that comes with WinRAR.
NOTE 3: PCOpus can use unACE.dll as released by the programmer of ACE
NOTE 4: PCOpus can use unpack.dll 32Bit version from C. Ghisler. On request from the programmer the DLL has been renamed to OPUSunp.dll to avoid possible conflicts.
