- X_SHELL OPTIONS
- ===============
-
- AUTO-FOLDER: If this option is used (set to default using LZH+ARC) the
- archive will be unpacked to a folder with the same name as
- the archive file name. If the archive was packed into a
- folder it will default to the archive's folder name.
- Having this option ON when packing, will pack the contents
- into a folder.
-
- FILE-FINDER: Allows you to find a file on your disk/HD using a name with
- wildcards. Will search specified drives or ALL drives.
- Most file finders will work but works best with the one
- included in this archive. MUST be named FILEFIND.PRG and
- reside in the X_SHELL folder!
-
- FILE VIEWER: File reader/picture viewer which handles all text formats
- and most of the popular graphics formats including
- compressed picture formats.
- GUCK.TTP must reside in the X_SHELL folder!
-
- FILE ERASE: Brings up the file selector and DELETES any file clicked on.
-
- EXTERN-PRG: Allows you to call an external program. You may encounter
- problems with some programs...
-
- FILE-INF: Will bring up a host of information on any file such as
- compressability, transfer times, disk space needed etc etc.
-
- PFX-COMP: Similar to DC-Squish, allows compression of executable
- programs which can then be run from their compressed state.
- PFXPAK.TTP must reside in the X_SHELL folder.
-
- SFX-OPTION: Direct access to the self-extracting archive creator.
- This is normally used when creating an SFX file from an
- existing .LZH file.
- SFX.TTP must reside in the X_SHELL folder.
-
- UNLZH-OPT: Direct access to the popular UNLZH program. Best used for
- reading text files contained in archives fast.
- UNLZH.TTP must reside in the X_SHELL folder.
-
- ACCS-OPT: Click on this to access the accessory screen which allows
- execution of any accessories installed.
-
- PASSWORD: USE WITH CARE! This option will allow you to password protect
- any archive, including .LZH. However, ONLY the recipient
- running X_SHELL will have the means of unlocking the file
- with the correct password. Archiver will return error of
- 'File not found' or 'Bad header'if file is not unlocked.
- Click on option to bring up file selector, then select the
- .LZH file to be protected. Use defaults for ease.
- To de-compress, unlock file with correct password and then
- proceed to de-compress as normal.

- NOTES
-
- Whenever updating to a new version of any of the auxiliary programs, make
- sure the program is re-named to match the above descriptions.
- This will ensure auto execution of any selection.
-
- The included program, INSTGUCK.TTP allows you to install the text reader/
- graphics viewer into your DESKTOP.INF.
- Whenever you select a text or graphics file from the desktop, it will
- automatically bring up the viewer.
- Another option is the ability to install a text editor or graphics package
- into the viewer.
- When viewing, CTRL-E will bring up the pre-installed editor with the
- current file loaded & ready to edit.
-
- The LZS and AR options are old file extenders which are no longer in use
- and have been superceeded by the superior LZH and ARC formats.
- However, i have found it useful to place a copy of Jon Webb's LHARC V0.60
- in the same folder and rename it to LZS.TTP. That way i can always use it
- immediately if ever required.
- The same could also be done with an older version of ARC by renaming it to
- AR.TTP.
-
- The default LZH1319.TTP included is V1.1319. When installing a later version
- simply rename that to LZHxxxx.TTP.
- The same goes for the included ARC V6.02.
- As for ZOO, does anyone really use that? ;-)
