- ZV - ZIP View, Version 1.01 - This ZIP file directory lister will allow you
- to easily determine the contents of ZIP files, regardless of extensions,
- including self-extracting files. Multiple filespecs and wildcards may be
- specified on the command line. DOS-compatible switches are available for
- Wide, Technical and Brief (without drive or path) displays. ZIP file and
- individual file comments are displayed.

-
- Purpose:
- ========
- To provide a simple means of displaying the directory of a ZIP file. The
- program attempts to quickly determine if a specified file is in ZIP format
- and displays an error message if the format is not recognized.
-
- Commands:
- =========
- Usage: zv zipfile [zipfile...] [switches]
-
- Switches: /W Wide display, up to five filenames per line
- /T Technical information
- /B Brief filenames, without drive or path
- /P Pause display when the screen fills
-
- Switches may appear in any position on the command line.
-
- Examples: zv /t backup.exe /p *.zip
- zv/w bigfile.zip
- zv /b/t/p recurse.dir
- zv *.* /w/p
-
- In the command format above, 'zipfile' may optionally include a drive
- and/or path designation. A 'zipfile' specified without an extension will
- cause a search for all extensions.
-
- If the /P switch is used, the display will prompt for a key press after the
- screen is filled. Pressing <Ret> will advance the display by one line.
- Pressing <Esc> will terminate the program. Any other key will display
- another screenful of output, with an overlap of one line, provided there is
- enough output to fill another screen.
-
- As an alternative to the /P switch, pressing any key, except <Esc>, while
- the programming is running, will temporarily pause the display. Pressing
- any key after pausing, except <Esc>, will resume the display. <Esc> to
- terminate program execution.
-
- While the program is displaying data, <Esc> will end program execution.
-
- Typing just the program name by itself will display a simple help screen.
-
- Other programs:
- ===============
- Other programs which I have written and contributed to the public domain
- include:
-
- CAL100
- ------
- CAL - Calendar V1.00 - 06/03/89 - A simple, pop-up calendar display program
- that can be used as a sort of perpetual calendar. Valid years range from
- 0001 to 9999 (arbitrary). This program is NOT memory-resident. Scroll
- through the different months and years. Although the executable file is
- stand-alone, I don't consider this to be a complete program. I've
- contemplated using the included routines as the starting point for a
- scheduling program, for example. Source code included.
-
- CRC-M2
- ------
- CRC-M2 - Cyclic Redundancy Checker V1.00 - 07/12/89 - This tiny CRC program
- accepts wildcards and multiple filespecs from the command line. Displays
- same CRC values as PKPAK and LHarc. This type of program is usually
- written in assembly language. In fact, I've adapted the algorithms from
- some publicly available assembly language routines. Source code included.
-
- DDEL124
- -------
- DIRDEL - Directory Delete, V1.24 - 07/15/89 - This program will delete
- entire subdirectory trees - even those containing read-only, hidden and
- system files and directories. It will even delete the current directory.
- The executable file for this version is significantly smaller than before.
- Source code included.
-
- FIX220
- ------
- FIX - File Fix V2.20 - 08/13/89 - This binary editor will allow you to
- conveniently view and edit any type of file - read-only, hidden or system -
- in ASCII or hex. Select files from a scrollable, pop-up directory window.
- Version 2.20 adds two new features: 1) a command to jump directly to a
- specified offset within the file and 2) a simple text-search feature that
- will take you to the next record containing the string for which you are
- searching.
-
- As I write this, FIX220 is being revised to broaden the search capabilities
- so that both text searches (including wildcards) and binary searches will
- be handled properly.
-
- FND106
- ------
- FFIND - File Finder, V1.06 - 07/31/89 - This program will find any file or
- subdirectory on your hard disk, including hidden and system files.
-
- Usage: ffind [d:][filename][.ext]
-
- Wildcards are accepted. Improvements for this version include an overall
- increase in speed and a smaller executable filesize. Source code included.
-
- All the above programs were written entirely in JPI TopSpeed Modula-2.
