VA
Version 3.610 08-25-89
(C) 1989 By Peter K. Johnson
VA is a simple archive viewer capable of displaying the contents of ARC,
LZH, PAK, ZIP, ZOO, and self-extracting archives. The contents of all files
listed on the command line will be displayed. Wildcard file specifications
are valid. Usage information will be displayed if VA is executed with no
command line arguments. The output of VA is fully redirectable.
VA will append ".*" to file specifications that do not contain periods.
File specifications beginning with a dash should be preceded by another dash.
For example, the file "-SILLY-.ZIP" should be given as "--SILLY-.ZIP".
The configuration mode of VA may be entered by using the "-C" command line
switch. Most options require no documenting. When in PowerUser mode, the
listings may be paused using ScrollLock and stopped using Ctrl-C. When not
in PowerUser mode, listings may be paused using any key and stopped using 'S'.
Self-extracting archives created by the following programs are supported:
PKSFX v3.6, 3.61 by PKWARE Inc.
ZIP2EXE v0.90, 0.92, 1.01 by PKWARE Inc.
MKSARC v1.00 by System Enhancement Associates
EXEMAKE v1.6 by NoGate Consulting
PAK v2.0 by NoGate Consulting
LHARC v1.13c by Yoshi
