Peeker (the program you're in) can let you view the contents of an
archive (ZOO, ZIP, PAK, ARC, PKA, LZH, etc.) and read a text file from
the archive. To list an archive's contents, hit [C].  Peeker will ask
you for the filename you want to list.  Type the name of the archive
(i.e. THISPROG.ARC), and press [Enter].  You may include wildcards (?
and *) in the filename, in which case Peeker will prompt you for which
matching file you really wanted to list.  You may enter the first part
of a filename and press enter for similar results.

After Peeker lists the archive's contents, it'll ask if you want to
relist.  If you need to do so, answer Yes, otherwise hit No or just
[Enter].  Peeker will then ask if you want to read a file from the
archive.  This can be handy if you want to check the docs to see if the
program is one you might be interested in downloading.  Answer Yes and
Peeker will ask you for the name of the program to read (no wildcards
this time).  Peeker then extracts the file and lets you read it.

Peeker will also allow you to [L]ist the FILES.BBS of an area (the file
that contains the names of and information on all files in the current
area) if one is available.  This is done so that you don't have to jump
back and forth between Peeker and the main BBS when viewing several
files if you need to check on the filenames to list.

Peeker can [E]xtract part of an archive for downloading.  This can be
handy if you somehow misplaced a single file from an archive and don't
want to download the whole thing again or want to extract the docs for
offline review.  Tell Peeker the name of the file to extract from
(wildcards are acceptable as when viewing contents), then tell it the
file(s) to extract.  Peeker will extract the file(s), ask you which
archive utility you want to repack the file(s) with, then repack them
and exit so that the BBS can send the new archive to you.  It will have
the name XFILE.* (* is different depending on which archiver you
selected to repack--for instance, if you Zoo the files, the filename
will be XFILE.ZOO).

Peeker can let you [B]uild an archive from parts of other archives for
downloading.  This has the same uses as [E]xtract, but can build an
archive composed of parts of several other archives instead of just one.
In this instance, you need to make a list of the files you want to
extract from and the files contained in those archives which you want to
extract. Then this option will let you extract from the archives until
you've either reached the maximum component size allowed by your sysop
or have extracted all the desired files from the archives. At that
point, hit [Enter] alone when asked for the file to extract from, and
the repacking and download will proceed as above.

Remember that extracting and repacking can take a little time, so please
be patient.
