SORTDIZ file sorting utility
by Glenn Grotzinger
FIDO 1:2804/7
You have the best (and probably only) FILE_ID.DIZ archive sorting utility out
there. It will take a file, determine if a FILE_ID.DIZ file is present and
then perform a configured action upon the file.
LEGALITIES
==========
There are no warranties, expressed or implied for the usage of this software.
Glenn Grotzinger, the author, is not liable in any way for losses of data,
money, or any other loss that may occur as a result of use or misuse of this
software. The author is also not liable for any damages that result from
the software not performing it's desired purpose to the user, and the user
bears all responsibility to that fact. The software is provided to you, the
user AS IS.
DISTRIBUTION
============
This software is distributed as SHAREWARE. Shareware affords you the option
to try this software before you purchase it. But keep in mind, that if you
don't register this software in a specified evaluation period, you must
discontinue using it! Please see the REGISTER.FRM file on how to register.
I feel I am charging a legitimate sum for the effort placed into this project.
If you are using the software in a commercial purpose, such as selling copies
of the software or distributing the software via CD-ROM, you must contact
the author for information on a commercial usage license.
FILES IN THE PACKAGE
====================
The following files are included in this package:
SORTDIZ.EXE -----------> The main executable.
SORTDIZ.DOC -----------> The file you're looking at...
CONFIG.SDZ -----------> The configuration file.
REGISTER.FRM -----------> The registration form.
REVISION.TXT -----------> A small history of the development of SORTDIZ.
HOW TO CONTACT THE AUTHOR
=========================
You may contact the author, Glenn Grotzinger by one of these methods:
FidoNet at 1:2804/7
The MindCrime BBS at (816) 429-3291 14400 bps 8,N,1 operation.
If you have any questions about the software, please have the following
available: The CONFIG.SDZ file and the system configurations..Please be sure
that all the information in the CONFIG.SDZ file is correct first.
HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE
=======================
1) Load up a TEXT EDITOR, such as DOS edit, QEDIT, or anything else that will
edit RAW ASCII text and load the file CONFIG.SDZ . Follow the directions
in the config file's comments and configure all the options. Comments may
be made by using the ";" (w/o the quotes) to start the line. If an archiver
is not present, then write "not present" (w/o the quotes). Leave the name
and registration code areas alone for now, until the software is registered.
2) To execute the software, you call the filename (SORTDIZ) and then follow it
with the filename or path of filenames that you want to sort. For example..
If you want to see if the file name ARCHIVE.ZIP has a FILE_ID.DIZ in it and
perform the indicated configuration action, do this:
SORTDIZ ARCHIVE.ZIP
If you want to see if the file name c:\backup\BACKUP.ZIP has a FILE_ID.DIZ
in it and perform the indicated configuration action, do this:
SORTDIZ c:\backup\backup.zip
If you wish to sort files in the directory C:\HOLD do this:
SORTDIZ c:\hold\*.*
NOTE!: The program CURRENTLY identifies archives by their extension!
If extension is ZIP, then assumed a ZIP file!
If extension is ARJ, then assumed an ARJ file!
If extension is LZH, then assumed an LZH file!
If extension is UC2, then assumed an UltraCompressor file!
And so forth, and so forth.
