Zip A Directory 1.0 .
INTRODUCTION
Zip A Directory is intended for use on hard disks only. It zips
directories and subdirectories into ZIP archives, removing all
the files and directories. Zip A Directory calls PKZIP to create
a new ZIP archive, which will have the same name as the directory.
The tree structure of the subdirectories is saved in the ZIP.
For example, the files and subdirectories in \PROGS\RTNS\LIB12 will
be zipped into an archive called \PROGS\RTNS\LIB12.ZIP .
INSTRUCTIONS
Place ZAD.EXE and PKZIP.EXE in a directory that is included in the
PATH statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Zip A Directory is run from the DOS command line with this form:
zad [? | [directory-path] [-0 | -x] ]
"directory-path" is of the form "\dir1\dir2\dir3\".
The final "\" is optional.
The optional switch "-0" (zero) will force PKZIP to store files in
a ZIP without compressing them.
The optional switch "-x" (zero) will force PKZIP to use its maximum
file compression algorithm.
If neither of the above are used, PKZIP will do a normal compression.
Examples : "zad -x" will create a ZIP containing all files in
the current directory and all of its subdirectories,
using PKZIP's maximum compression
"zad \tp\source\bak -0" will create \TP\SOURCE\BAK.ZIP,
storing files in and beneath this directory without
compressing them
"zad ?" will print the command-line options on the screen.
DISCLAIMER
Zip A Directory is provided "as is". Use at your own risk.
Gregory Sherman disclaims all warranties, including the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
