═══ 1. ABOUT PMZipper ═══ PMZipper is a 32 bit Presentation Manager application designed to interface "arj", "lzh", "zip", and "zoo" archive files in a native OS/2 PM environment. In this version "zip" format is compatible with the dos version 204g archive format and is backward compatible with previous "zip" formats. PMZipper will display the files and default directory of files used with unpack.exe and unpack2.exe. Extraction of these files is implemented. Direct viewing of "inf, hlp, ico, txt, doc, cmd, bat, read, bbs, pck, ann and other file extensions commonly used in the OS/2 operating system is supported. Viewing of bitmaps is internally supported. As you move the mouse around on PMZipper's window, the lower bar will display help for the function below the mouse pointer. Press "F1" for more help. PMZipper can be started by double clicking on the archive icon. These should appear the same as PMZipper's desktop icon. If not right mouse click on the archive, from the pop-up menu select "Open" then PMZipper 1.4 just below the settings heading. If you have lost your desktop icon, go to PMZipper's Main Window Menu Bar "Options" heading, drop down to the "Setup" heading and arrow to "Create-update desktop icon...". This will update and reset the default settings for the file associations and working directory. You can also start PMZipper by dropping an archive on PMZipper's desktop icon. If you include PMZipper's directory in your path statement, you can start PMZipper from the commandline by typing eg. "PMZipper ". Although more than one session can be started, this is not recommended or necessary. You can also drag and drop files onto the list box of PMZipper's Main Window to view the dropped file's contents. An information message will be displayed if the file is not supported. ═══ 2. MAIN WINDOW ═══ Main Window Open Filedialog and display only "zip" files. If you wish to display only "arj", "lzh", or "zoo" files, the menubar "File" selection has an open archive heading for this purpose. Open Filedialog and display all files. You can doubleclick on any file you see here. This function button can be used to select and extract files created with unpack.exe and unpack2.exe. Bitmaps selected here will be displayed by an internal viewer, "inf and hlp" files by View.exe, "ico" files by the Icon Editor and txt, doc, cmd, bat, read, bbs, pck, ann, me, readme and faq by the System Editor "e.exe". You will get an information message if the file type is not supported. Create a new archive. Add files to the current archive. Delete files from the current archive. You will be prompted once more after you select this button, to be sure. If you select all files, you will be prompted to delete the archive instead. Deleting one or more files in a large zip archive file will appear to be slow responding. A backup copy is first produced, then the selected file is deleted. If no errors occur the backup is deleted. This is the slowest but most safe method. PMZipper is multithreaded so after making your selections you can minimize the view and continue until PMZipper is completed. Extract files from the current archive. Select a partial listing from the list box before clicking on the extract button. If you wish to extract all files, you do not have to highlight any files from the list box. View a highlighted file. or double click on any file in the list box. Bitmaps will be displayed by an internal viewer, "inf and hlp" files by View.exe, "ico" files by the Icon Editor and all other supported files by the System Editor "e.exe". If you like to drag and drop, drop them on the list box. Again, bitmaps will be displayed by an internal viewer, "inf and hlp" files by View.exe, "ico" files by the Icon Editor and txt, doc, cmd, bat, read, bbs, pck, ann, me, readme and faq by the System Editor "e.exe". You will get an information message if the file type is not supported. Files dropped onto the list box are for viewing only. They are not added to an existing displayed file. To add files to an archive use the "Add" files toolbar button. The list box has multiselect and extendselect enabled. You can use swipe selection to select items in the list box. If you click on a list item while holding down the Ctrl key, the selection for that item is toggled. Clicking on an unselected item selects that item and deselects all others. Click and hold the left mouse button and pull down below the bottom of the window on a long list. The list will select and the list box will continue to move downword until you release. Main Pop-Up can be selected by clicking the right mouse button on the list box. Select "Open Folder..." to display a drive/directory listbox. Make your selection, then right mouse click on the drive/directory list box to display its Pop-Up menu. Selecting "Open" will display the folders objects. These can be dragged and dropped onto PMZipper's list box, to view the file contents. Comment in ZIP Archive.

README ═══ Important Information Changing Cdrom Disks Changing cdrom disks while the program is active on the cdrom drive can cause a lockup. If changing cdrom disks, log to the "" drive, then change the disk and log back to your cdrom drive. Cdrom and Read Only Attribute OS/2 treats all files that are on a cdrom as being read only. This attribute is carried with the file when it is either copied or "dragged and dropped" to a hard disk or floppy. This attribute must be cleared before the file can be deleted. From the command prompt type "attrib -r ". From the Program Manager, open the settings pages for the file, select file, go to the third page, and uncheck the "read-only" box. Maximum File Listings The maximum number of file listings in the list box converts to approximately 1000 entries of an archive file. PMZipper is Self Configuring There are no user input options required. This causes a delay at startup while the necessary files and directories are loaded and located. Temporary Directory PMZipper first searches for a "TEMP" environment variable, next a "TMP" environment variable. A working directory called "PMZipper.$$$" is created under the temporary environment variable directory. Please check that the temporary environment variable directory exists. Alternatively, "PMZipper.$$$" is created under the installation directory. To set the temporary environment variable directory, include "SET TEMP=drive:\directory" in your config.sys. Don't forget to also create the directory, then shutdown and reboot so OS/2 can read in the changes you have made to the config.sys. Timer Function PMZipper(UNREG) V1.4 is time limited. A signal will sound indicating the end of a session. Shortly thereafter an orderly shutdown will begin. All work in progress will complete and all program settings will be saved. Registration will void the timer function. Archivers Required NOTE: To use UnZip 5.11, copy or rename unzip32.exe to unzip.exe by typing copy unzip32.exe unzip.exe.
