SHEZ is a shell program to make viewing and working with archive files user friendly. It provides the user with a friendly, consistent interface for all supported compressed file operations. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -4- ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS NEEDED You will need, at a minimum, at least one file compression program, and a file browser program. Vern Buerg's LIST program is an excellent, full featured file browser program, and has been thoroughly tested with SHEZ. You will also need one of the file compression programs supported by SHEZ. These include PKZIP, PAK, ARJ, LZH or LHA, PKPAK, and ZOO. When installing these required programs, be sure to install them into a directory that is in your path statement. If you are installing the PKZIP package be sure to install the following three programs: PKZIP.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE, and ZIP2EXE.EXE. All of the programs mentioned in this section, with the exception of Central Point Software Virus Scan, can be found on most Bulletin Boards, and on Cserve. They are all available on the Directory Assistance BBS that is mentioned at the end of this document. PKZIP, PKUNZIP by Phil Katz for ZIP files. PKUNPAK, PKPAK by Phil Katz for ARC files. LHARC, LHA by Haruyasu Yoshizaki for LZH files. ZOO by Rahul Dhesi for ZOO files. PAK by NoGate Consulting for PAK files. ARJ by Robert Jung for ARJ files. PKWARE, INC. LIST.COM by Vernon Buerg 7545 N Port Washington Rd. 139 White Oak Circle Glendale, WI. 53217 Petaluma, CA. 94952 (707) 778-8841 - BBS PAK by NoGate Consulting ARJ by Robert Jung P.O. Box 88115 2606 Village Road West Grand Rapids, Mi 49518-0115 Norwood, Mass. 02062 If you want to use the virus scan option of SHEZ you will also need the virus scan program by McAfee Associates called SCAN.EXE. The SCAN program from McAfee Associates has been extensively tested with SHEZ and is highly recommended. This program can be found on most major BBS's or you may obtain it by calling the McAfee BBS. You must obtain version 39 or greater of this program in order for SHEZ to use it correctly. McAfee Associates 4423 Cheeney St. Santa Clara, Ca. 95054 (408) 988-3832 BBS (408) 988-4004 SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -5- The virus scanning program from Central Point Software has also been tested with SHEZ. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -6- QUICK START Installing SHEZ is a very straight forward procedure, simply copy or extract from the compressed file, all the .EXE, .COM, and the SHEZ.HLP files into a directory that is defined in your DOS PATH. Optionally you may create a new directory to hold the SHEZ files. If you choose this option you must either add the new directory name to your DOS PATH, or ALWAYS start SHEZ from the new directory. After installing the files run the SHEZ configuration program. At the DOS prompt type in SHEZCFG and press the enter key. The configuration program is menu driven with full help screen available for each option. To start-up SHEZ simply enter "SHEZ [d:\path\filespec]". You may specify wild cards in the filespec. If you use wild cards in the filespec SHEZ will present you with a scrollable list of files that it found matching the filespec. SHEZ recognizes the special filename.fileext of $.$. If you specify a filespec of $.$ SHEZ will list only the files having an extension of .ARC, .ZIP, .LZH, .ARJ, and .ZOO, or the files having extension matching the extensions that where set using the configuration program. SHEZ will also recognize just the $ file extension along with a DOS wildcard filename. For example if you start SHEZ by entering SHEZ C:\UTY\P*.$ SHEZ will display a list of files that have a filename beginning with the letter P and that have a file extension of .ARC,.ZIP,.LZH,.ZOO,.PAK,.ARJ, or what ever you set the extensions to using the config. program. You may also start SHEZ and specify a sub-directory name of the directory you are currently in. For example, if you are currently in the C:\UTILITY directory and you want to work on the files in the C:\UTILITY\PGMS directory start SHEZ by entering the following: SHEZ PGMS\ Also included in the file list will be any directories that SHEZ found. The directory names will be enclosed in greater than and less than symbols. I.E. <DIR1>. You can position the highlight bar on a directory name and press the enter key to view the files and directories that are contained in that directory. To move up one level in the directory tree highlight the directory entry that appears as <..>. As you change directories the full disk:\pathname will be displayed on the main screen. In addition the disk:\path that will receive extracted files is also displayed on the main screen. You can than choose the file you wish to work on by moving the highlight bar with the cursor keys and pressing the enter key. SHEZ will then present you with a screen showing the contents of the archive file. To perform a function, simply position the highlight bar and press the key(s) that corresponds to the function you want to perform on that member. Pressing the F1 key will open a window giving you context sensitive help. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -7- SHEZ also has a built-in menuing system. To activate the menu system press the forward slash key. A menu bar will appear at the top of the screen. Using the left and right cursor keys you may select major menu item. Press the enter key to view the choices under the menu item. Using the up and down cursor keys you may choose an action item and then press the enter key to perform that item. Pressing the ESC key will take you back one level. Keep pressing the ESC key to exit the menu system. There are two functions that can only be activated via the menuing system. Printing a file contained in an archive file, and setting the default compressing factor. There are no hot keys associated with these functions. SHEZ will optionally swap 90% of its code out of memory when you: 1) Shell to DOS 2) Execute the edit function. 3) Run a program contained in a compressed file. This allows you to run most programs from within SHEZ without running out of memory. The default for SHEZ is not to use this swapping function. However this can be changed via the configuration program. The swapping function will swap as much of SHEZ as possible out of DOS memory and into either EMS (3.2 or 4.0), XMS memory, if available, or to the currently active default disk. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE RUNNING A SYSTEM WITHOUT A HARD DISK OR WITHOUT EMS or XMS MEMORY DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS OPTION. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -8- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS The command line format when starting SHEZ is as follows: SHEZ [filespec] [/Exxx] [/PLAY=xxx] [/LCD] Please note all command line options are optional. You may enter a filespec pattern for SHEZ to use when searching for file. All legal DOS wild card specifies are allowed, as is Drive and Directory information. For example: SHEZ C:\UTY\*.ZIP This will startup SHEZ and will only list the files on the C: drive in the UTY directory that have a file extension of .ZIP. The /E parameter tells SHEZ to set it's default extract location to the Drive and directory specified immediately following the /E parameter. DO NOT ENTER A SPACE AFTER THE /E parameter. I.E. /EC:\WORK This specifies an extract location of the E: drive and the WORK directory. If you start SHEZ with this parameter it will over-ride all other default extract location. Once SHEZ is started you may alter the extract location by using the ALT-P command. The /LCD parameter tells SHEZ you are running SHEZ on an LCD display monitor. SHEZ will adjust it's screen color set to make the display more readable on LCD displays. The /PLAY= parameter tells SHEZ to load the previously saved macro file and playback the recorded keystrokes immediately upon startup. If the macro file does not exist, SHEZ will ignore the request. Example: SHEZ C:\UTY\*.ZIP /PLAY=C:\DATA\MY.MAC This will start SHEZ looking in the C:\UTY directory for all files with an extension of .ZIP and will playback the recorded keystrokes contained in the file C:\DATA\MY.MAC. For more information on keystroke recording and playback see the section KEYSTROKE RECORDING/PLAYBACK FACILITY on page 39 later in this document. MOUSE SUPPORT The mouse routines will simulate keyboard entry of commands. The mouse functions provided are: 1) LEFT BUTTON Simulate pressing the ENTER key. 2) RIGHT BUTTON SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -9- Simulate pressing the ESC key. 3) DOUBLE CLICK LEFT BUTTON Pop up the mouse menu. (IF YOU HAVE A THREE BUTTON MOUSE THE MOUSE MENU CAN BE ACTIVATED BY PRESSING THE MIDDLE BUTTON) SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -10- One of two mouse menu's will appear depending upon where you are in SHEZ. If the DOS directory window in displayed the first menu will appear, if you are looking at the contents of a compressed file the second menu will appear. MENU WHEN DOS DIRECTORY IS DISPLAYED ******************* *SHOW MENU * *HELP * *EXIT SHEZ * *View File * *Convert File * *Make SFX * *Copy File * *Move File * *Rename File * *Delete File * *Convert Tagged * *Make Tagged SFX * *Copy Tagged * *Move Tagged * *Rename Tagged * *Delete Tagged * *+SENSITIVITY * *-SENSITIVITY * ******************* MENU WHEN LOOKING AT THE CONTENTS OF A COMPRESSED FILE ************************ *SHOW MENU * *HELP * *EXIT SHEZ * *View File * *Extract File * *Delete File * *Add File * *Edit File * *Execute File * *Convert From SFX * *Extract All * *Extract Tagged * *Delete Tagged * *Specify Extract Path * *+SENSITIVITY * *-SENSITIVITY * ************************ When the mouse menu appears pressing the RIGHT button will cancel the mouse menu. Moving the mouse up and down will move the highlight bar SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -11- within the menu, and pressing the LEFT button will cause the selected menu item to be performed. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -12- SHOW MENU Same as pressing the / key HELP Same as pressing the F1 key. (When the help panel is displayed either mouse button may be pressed to scroll the help panel and/or exit the help panel) EXIT SHEZ Same as pressing the ALT-Q key +SENSITIVITY Increase the mouse sensitivity (Move faster) -SENSITIVITY Decrease the mouse sensitivity (Move slower) (The sensitivity adjustments may be selected multiple times to adjust the mouse to your system. Each time they are selected the sensitivity is slightly altered in the direction indicated) (WHEN YOU HAVE THE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTED TO YOUR MACHINE, THE SENSITIVITY VALUE CAN BE SAVED INTO BY PRESSING THE ALT-W COMMAND WHILE IN THE MAIN WINDOW. THIS WILL CREATE A SHEZ.CFG FILE, THAT CAN BE USED TO PERMANENTLY CONFIGURE. SEE CLONING OPTION LATER IN THIS DOCUMENT.) 4) Moving the mouse up and down will simulate pressing the up and down cursor keys. 5) Moving the mouse right and left will simulate pressing the right and left cursor keys. 6) RIGHT AND LEFT BUTTONS PRESSED TOGETHER TAG the highlighted file. If you press the right and left buttons down, and hold them down while moving the mouse up or down, numerous files can be tagged quickly. 7) When SHEZ prompts for a Y or N response pressing the left button will provide a Y response, pressing the right button will provide a N response. Also when a "PRESS ANY KEY" prompt appears either button may be pressed. USING THE MOUSE WITH VERN BUERG'S LIST PROGRAM. I have had numerous questions on how to allow the mouse to function when viewing a file via Vern's list program. In order to allow the mouse to function within list you must "CLONE" the mouse option into the list program. You must be using LIST PLUS version 7.2 in order to use the mouse. To clone the mouse option change to the directory that contains the LIST.COM program, then start the LIST program from the DOS prompt and include the mouse command line option /M. I.E. LIST /M. When the first screen appears press ALT-C to modify LIST.COM to always startup with the mouse option. If you need further information on cloning the list program please see the documentation included with LIST. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -13- EDITING KEY DEFINITIONS When you are prompted to enter information the following editing keys can be used: Home: Go to beginning of input line. End: Go to end of input line. Backspace: Go back one character and delete. CTL-END: Erase to end of line. Cursor Right: Move right one character. Cursor Left: Move left one character. ESC: Cancel input. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -14- FUNCTION SUPPORTED WHEN A DOS DIRECTORY WINDOW IS DISPLAYED DOS directory Speed Search When the DOS directory window is displayed you may quickly position the highlight bar to a directory or file by pressing a single letter or number. Pressing an UPPER CASE A-Z or 0-9 will be position you to the first directory that begins with the pressed letter or number. Pressing the same letter or number again will position the highlight bar to the next matching entry. If no entry begins with the entered letter or number the highlight bar will not be moved. Pressing an lower case a-z or 0-9 will be position you to the FILES that begins with the pressed letter or number. Extract location - ALT-P This option will prompt you to enter a drive and directory of where to place files that you extract from the archive. This location will remain in effect until you enter the ALT-P command again and clear the drive and directory or you change to another archive file. This command is used when you want to place extracted files in a location other than the current drive and directory. If you specify a directory that does not exist a ERROR/INFORMATION window will appear indicating that the directory does not exist. You may press the F10 key to create the directory. This command may be issued at any time. When the input window appears pressing the F9 key will open another window which will display a scrollable list of directories. To display a list of directories other than on the current drive, enter the drive letter followed by a colon, then press the F9 key. Scroll the list using the up and down cursor keys, and press the ENTER key to select the directory you wish to extract files into. Create a new archive file - F7 This option allows you to create a new compressed file. For further information see the section titled, CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES on page 42. Show help screen - F1 This will display a help screen showing all currently supported commands. Any command can be entered while the help screen is displayed. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -15- Temporary exit to DOS - F10 This will temporarily clear the screen and exit to DOS. You can then execute and command you want. To return to SHEZ type in EXIT at the DOS prompt and press return. (Not available when running under DESQVIEW) Temporary exit to DOS into Extract Directory - ALT-F10 This will temporarily clear the screen and exit to DOS into the currently defined extract directory. You can then execute and command you want. To return to SHEZ type in EXIT at the DOS prompt and press return. (Not available when running under DESQVIEW) Select a new archive file - F2 This option will prompt you to enter a new disk, directory, and filespec to find another archive file to work with. If you enter a filespec of $.$ SHEZ will only list directory entries and file that have extensions of .ARC, .ZIP, .LZH, PAK, ARJ, and ZOO. When the input window appears pressing the F9 key will open another window which will display a scrollable list of directories. To display a list of directories other than on the current drive, enter the drive letter followed by a colon, then press the F9 key. Scroll the list using the up and down cursor keys, and press the ENTER key to select the directory you wish to change to. View a file - F3 This option will allow you to view any file that is listed in the main file window. Simply highlight the file you wish to view by using the cursor keys then press the F3 key. The list program will be invoked allowing you to view the contents of the file. (ALSO SEE CTL-ENTER FOR ALTERNATE FILE VIEWERS) Delete a DOS file or empty directory - F4 This option allows you to delete the file that is currently highlighted in the file window. Please note will be asked if you want to delete the file. Respond Y if you wish to delete the file, anything else will abort the delete. The deleted file name will not be removed from the displayed list. Instead it will be flagged with an # to the left of the filename and a 'd' to the right. If the highlighted entry is a directory, SHEZ will remove the directory only if there are no files or sub-directories under this directory. Display files statistics - F5 This option will display the highlighted file's Date, Time, and Size. If you are running under 4DOS/NDOS and you have toggled SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -16- file descriptions on, the 4DOS/NDOS file description will also be displayed. See the ALT-D command for more information. Sort the file list - F9 This option will sort the file list that appears on the left side of the screen. You will be asked if you want the list sorted by filename, file extension, file date, file size, or unsorted. When sorting by filename any directory found will also be sorted. When sorting by extension, date, or size the directories will be sorted at the top of the list. When sorting by date the file time is also included in the sort. Convert highlighted file - ALT-V This option will convert the highlighted file to another archive method. A list will appear showing the available compression alternatives that SHEZ has been configured for. Using the mouse or cursor keys highlight the compression method you wish to convert to, then press the enter key. You may also press the ESC key to cancel the conversion process. The converted file will be placed into the same directory as the original file, and the original file will remain intact. When a compressed file also has directory information stored along with the filenames, and the file is being converted to a compression method that supports pathnames, SHEZ will retain the directory information. In addition, if the compressed files being converted has volume label information stored, SHEZ will attempt to retain the volume label information. (PLEASE NOTE: THE VOLUME LABEL PROCESSING WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE CONVERTING FROM A ZIP OR ARJ FILE FORMAT TO A ZIP OR ARJ FILE FORMAT. ALSO THE VOLUME LABEL PROCESSING WILL NOT FUNCTION WHEN RUNNING SHEZ IN THE DOS BOX UNDER OS/2.) Convert all tagged files - CTL-V This option will convert all tagged files to another archive method. A list will appear showing the available compression alternatives that SHEZ has been configured for. Using the mouse or cursor keys highlight the compression method you wish to convert to, then press the enter key. You may also press the ESC key to cancel the conversion process. The converted file will be placed into the same directory as the original file, and the original file will remain intact. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -17- Convert highlighted file to a SFX file - F8 This option will convert the highlighted compressed file into a Self extracting file. (Currently only files in the ZIP,LZH, and PAK formats may be converted) If you are converting a ZIP file that was created using version 1.1 of PKZIP, SHEZ will first attempt to create a MINI Self extracting file. If that fails than a normal Self extracting file will be created. See the PKZIP documentation for more on MINI self extracting files. NOTES ON CREATING SFX FILES To convert a ZIP file to self extracting file the program, ZIP2EXE.EXE, and the file PKSFX.PRG, must be in the current directory or in a directory that is defined in your PATH. When a PAK file is converted the PAK file is replaced by the self extracting file. For example: If tell SHEZ to convert a file named TEST.PAK in the directory C:\TEST the TEST.PAK file will be deleted from the C:\TEST directory and will be replaced by the file TEST.EXE. This is not a function of SHEZ it is a function of the PAK compression program. When an LZH file is converted to a self extracting file the LHARC program will created either a .COM file or a .EXE file, depending on the size of the LZH file. Convert Tagged files to SFX files - SFT-F8 This option will convert all tagged compressed files into Self extracting files. See the F8 option above for additional information on creating SFX files. Write out configuration information - ALT-W This option will write out a file named SHEZ.CFG. This file will contain the current SHEZ configuration options. This file can then be used to set the configuration options in future releases of SHEZ by using the SHEZCFG program. (See Section titled CLONING THE CONFIGURATION on page 55). SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -18- Copy highlighted file CTL-F2 This option allows you to copy the highlighted file. When prompted for the location to copy to you may enter the target directory name along with an optional filename and extension. If the filename and extension are not supplied SHEZ will use the original filename and extension. You may also use the * wildcard character for either the filename and/or the extension. If you use the * character SHEZ will use the original filename and/or extension when copying the file. I.E. From: = C:\UTILITY\ANY.ZIP To: = C:\WORK\NEW.* This will create a file named NEW.ZIP in the \WORK directory. The new file will have the original file's time and date stamp. Move highlighted file CTL-F3 This option allows you to move the highlighted file. When prompted for the location to move to you may enter the target directory name along with an optional filename and extension. If the filename and extension are not supplied SHEZ will use the original filename and extension. The moved file name will not be removed from the displayed list. Instead it will be flagged with an # to the left of the filename and a 'm' to the right. If you move a file from one directory to another directory on the same drive, SHEZ will simply modify the file pointers instead of performing a copy and delete function. Rename highlighted file CTL-F6 This option allows you to rename the highlighted file. You must at least provide a filename and extension. Toggle the Tag status - SPACE Pressing the space bar will toggle the tagged status of the currently highlighted file. A check mark to the left of the filename indicates that it is tagged. As files are tagged and untagged a count of the number of files tagged along with the total size of all tagged files is updated on the main screen. Tag All Files - CTL-SPACE or CTL-T This option will tag all files SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -19- Untag all Files - CTL-U This option will untag all tagged files. Add/Update compressed file comments - ALT-C This option allows you to add/update the file comment records in all tagged compressed files. To use this option first create an ASCII file that contains the file comments you wish to add to the compressed files. Then tag the files you wish to update, and press the ALT-C keys. You will be prompted for the ASCII file that contains your comment record(s). SHEZ will then execute the appropriate compressed file maintenance program to add/update the file comments in each tagged compressed file. Immediate Exit ALT-Q This option will immediately exit SHEZ. Test tagged compressed file(s) for viruses - ALT-Z Using this option SHEZ interfaces with the virus scan program (SCAN.EXE) that is produced by McAfee Associates. You must have version 39 or greater of this scan program in order for SHEZ to use it correctly. First tag all the compressed files in the directory window that you wish to test. Then press the ALT-Z keys, or use the drop down menus. SHEZ will extract all .COM, .EXE, and .OV? files into its working directory for each tagged compressed file, and will execute the virus scan program to determine if any of the program files have been infected. If an infected program is found SHEZ will temporarily suspend it's processing allowing you to see which programs are infected. You may then press any key to continue scanning the rest of the tagged files. (See the configuration section of this manual for more information on configuring SHEZ for this option). If there are any nested compressed files, SHEZ will also search the nested compressed files for .COM, .EXE, and .OV? files for viruses. The nesting level search is limited only by the amount of free disk space in the work drive assigned to SHEZ. Test for viruses and strip comments out of .ZIP files - CTL-Z This option perform exactly the same function as the ALT-Z command, with the added feature of stripping the master comment record out of any .ZIP files that are scanned. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -20- Copy all TAGGED DOS files - SFT-F2 Move all TAGGED DOS files - SFT-F3 Delete all TAGGED DOS files - SFT-F4 Rename all TAGGED DOS files - SFT-F6 These options allow you to copy,move,delete, and rename the DOS files that are tagged in the file window. Please note will be asked if you want to delete the files. Respond Y if you wish to delete the files, anything else will abort the delete. The deleted,moved and renamed files name will not be removed from the displayed list. Instead it will be flagged with an # to the left of the filename and a 'd', 'm', or 'r' to the right. When copying or moving files the new files will retain the original file's time and date stamp. Alternate file viewers - CTL-ENTER Pressing the CTL-ENTER command will allow you to view the currently highlighted file using a user specified alternate file viewer. (SEE THE SECTION "SETTING UP ALTERNATE FILE VIEWERS" ON PAGE 47 FOR MORE INFO) Toggle authenticity mode in PKZIP - ALT-1 Pressing the ALT-1 keys will toggle the authenticity mode when using PKZIP. If the authenticity mode is active an ! will appear on the file list heading line to the right of [FILE LIST] box. When processing files in the authenticity mode SHEZ will instruct SHEZ to EXCLUDE a file named AVEXTRA.TXT. This will allow you to add additional comments to a authenticated ZIP file without actually adding the file that contains the comments to the ZIP file. Edit highlighted file - ALT-E Pressing the ALT-E key tells SHEZ to invoke the user defined editor on the highlighted file. Tag highlighted file - (Plus key +) Pressing the + key will tag the highlighted file and move the highlight bar down one line. Untag highlighted file - (Minus key -) Pressing the - key will untag the highlighted file and move the highlight bar down one line. Tag highlighted file - ALT-+ Pressing the + key will tag the highlighted file and move the highlight bar up one line. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -21- Untag highlighted file - ALT-- Pressing the - key will untag the highlighted file and move the highlight bar up one line. Exit SHEZ goto EXTRACT dir - CTL-X Pressing the CTL-X key will immediately exit SHEZ and will place you into the EXTRACT disk and directory. Macro Pause - ALT-5 Start/Stop recording keystrokes - ALT-6 Playback recorded keystrokes - ALT-7 Cancel recording/playbak - CTL-Q Save recorded keystrokes - ALT-9 Load and Execute keystroke file - ALT-8 See the section entitled KEYSTROKE RECORDING/PLAYBACK FACILITY on page 39 for a full explanation of the keystroke record/playback facility. Activate volume label processing - ALT-4 Pressing the ALT-4 key will activate the automatic volume label processing option in SHEZ. See section titled VOLUME LABEL SUPPORT on page 36 further information. Browse any file - ALT-B Pressing the ALT-B keys will allow you to view the contents of a user specified file. A window will open asking you to enter the file specification of the file you wish to view. Pressing the Enter key will invoke the file browsing program. Pressing the ESC key will cancel the request. Wild card Toggle - F6 Pressing the F6 key will toggle the wild card specification between *.* and $.$. If SHEZ was started with a wild card specification other than *.* or $.$ this command has not effect. 4DOS/NDOS file description display - ALT-D If you are running under 4DOS or NDOS and there is a DESCRIP.ION file in the directory you are looking at, pressing the ALT-D keys will display the 4DOS/NDOS description file contents to the right of the filenames, (First 23 characters only). Pressing the ALT-D again will display the file time, date, and size. After pressing the ALT-D keys you can view up to the first 55 characters of the description file by moving the highlight bar to the file you wish to view, and press the F5 key. (PLEASE NOTE: SHEZ CAN ONLY HANDLE DESCRIP.ION FILES THAT ARE 30,000 BYES OR LESS) HOT DIRECTORY display - TAB KEY Pressing the TAB key will open a second DOS directory display window. Before the window is opened SHEZ will prompt you for the DISK and Directory to display. (Be sure to include the trailing SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -22- backslash. I.E. C:\MINE\) If no file specification is included, a *.* file specification will be used. When the directory window is open you may perform all supported file operations, such as copying, deleting, moving, single and/or groups of tagged files. You can close the directory window by pressing the TAB KEY again, or exit SHEZ by pressing the ALT-Q keys or the CTL-X keys.

It will create a PKFIXED.ZIP file in the same directory that the highlighted file exists in. Format Floppy - ALT-O The ALT-O hot key sequence will allow you to format a floppy disk in the A: or B: drives. See the section titled FORMATTING FLOPPIES later in this document. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -23- FUNCTIONS WHEN VIEWING CONTENTS OF ARCHIVE FILE: Viewing a file - V Simply press the return key or the V key. This will temporarily unpack the file and will invoke the LIST program allowing you to view the file on your screen. The temporary copy of the extracted file will be placed in the current disk and directory unless you specified a work disk to be used by using the configuration program. SHEZ will allow you to operate on compressed files that are contained within compressed files. I.E. A zip file that contains zip files. To view the contents of the embedded compressed file simply move the highlight bar to the compressed file and press the ENTER key. The embedded compress file contents will now be displayed on the screen. You may view any of the files and/or extract any of the files contained in the compressed file. However you may not add, delete, or update the embedded compressed file. Extracting a single file - E. This will extract the file that is being pointed to. The extracted file will be placed on the current disk in the current directory. You may optionally use the ALT-P command to direct the extracted files to a different disk and/or directory. Testing archive integrity - T This will test the integrity of the archive file and will report the results on the screen. Display Info about archive file - I This will display information about the archive file in a small pop-up window at the top of the screen. The information will include the number of files in the archive, the date of the newest file in the archive, the total size of all the files in the archive including the total expanded size and total compressed size. It will also display the current default compression factor. Delete a file from the archive - D This will delete the selected file from the archive file. Before the file is deleted a prompt will appear asking for verification of the delete. In addition any files that were previously tagged will have the tag cleared. Delete a tagged files from an archive - CTL-D This command will deleted all tagged files from the archive file. Before the files are deleted a prompt will appear asking for verification of the delete operation. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -24- Add file(s) to archive - A Update files(s) in archive - U Move files(s) to archive - M Freshen file(s) in archive - F Each of these options will cause a small window to open at the bottom of the screen. The window will prompt you to enter one or more file specifications. These filespecs can include drive, path, and a filespec with wild cards. All files matching the indicated filespec will be added, updated, moved or freshened in the current archive file depending on which option you initially picked. Any files that were previously tagged will have the tag cleared. For example if you enter a U to update files in the archive and you enter c:\source\*.c d:\batch\*.c when prompted to enter a filespec, than all files on the C drive in the source directory that have a file extension of C, and all files on the D drive in the batch directory that have an extension of bat, will be updated in the current archive file. List of files to add to archive - ALT-A List of files to freshen in archive - ALT-F List of files to move to archive - ALT-M List of files to update in archive - ALT-U Again each of these options will cause a small window to open at the bottom of the screen. The window will prompt you to enter a filespec. This filespec can include drive, path, and a filespec with wild cards. When you press the return key another window will pop-up on the left side of the screen showing you all the files that were found that matched the filespec you entered. You can then use the cursor keys to scroll the file list. Pressing the space bar will toggle the tagged status of the current highlighted file. When you are done tagging file press the return key and all files that you tagged will be added, freshened, moved, or updated in the current archive file. END GROUP SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -25- Specify where to put extracted files - ALT-P This options will prompt you to enter a drive and directory of where to place files that you extract from the archive. This location will remain in effect until you enter the ALT-P command again and clear the drive and directory or you change to another archive file. This command is used when you want to place extracted files in a location other than the current drive and directory. If you specify a directory that does not exist a ERROR/INFORMATION window will appear indicating that the directory does not exist. You may press the F10 key to create the directory. This command may be issued at any time. When the input window appears pressing the F9 key will open another window which will display a scrollable list of directories.

Scroll the list using the up and down cursor keys, and press the ENTER key to select the directory you wish to extract files into. Extract all files from archive - ALT-X This command will extract all files from the archive file and place them in the current disk:\directory unless you specified a different extract location by using the ALT-P command. Delete all extracted files - ALT-D This command will delete all files in the current disk:\directory, or the one specified by the ALT-P command, that are also contained in the archive file. The files will only be deleted if the file time and date are equal to or less then the file time and date of the same file that is contained in the compressed file. NOTE: it does not delete anything from the archive file. This is useful when you extract file from the archive file and then you want to quickly delete all the extracted files. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -26- Execute a file in an archive file - R This command will execute the EXE or COM file that is currently highlighted on the archive file list. The EXE or COM file will be extracted from the archive file and will be placed on the current disk in the current directory. You will then be prompted to enter any optional command line parameters that the program is expecting. The selected program will then be executed. After the program is run the extracted file will be deleted. NOTE: You can specify a different disk drive to place the extracted file on by using the SHEZFG program. This is useful when working with archive files that are on floppy disks. If you specify disk C as the work disk in the SHEZFG program the extracted file will be placed on the C drive, will be executed from the C drive, and then will be deleted from the C drive. Speed search - ALT-S This option will allow you to quickly find a file in an archive. A window will pop-up asking you to enter the first letter or digit of the file you wish to find. The list of files on the screen will then be scrolled to the first file that starts with the letter you entered. Immediate Exit - ALT-Q This option will immediately exit SHEZ. Extract all tagged files - CTL-E This option will extract all files that you tagged in the archive file. To tag a file simply press the space bar to toggle the tagged status. When a file is tagged it will be highlighted on the screen. Toggle the Tag status - SPACE Pressing the space bar will toggle the tagged status of the currently highlighted file. A check mark to the left of the filename indicates that it is tagged. Untag all tagged files - CTL-U This option will untag all files that you previously tagged. Tag All Files - CTL-SPACE This option will tag all files Update the archive files time and date - CTL-T This option will change the archive file's time and date to match the time and date of the newest file in the archive file. Create a new archive file - F7 This option allows you to create a new compressed file. For further information see the section titled, CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES on page 42. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -27- Show help screen - F1 This will display a help screen showing all currently supported commands. Any command can be entered while the help screen is displayed.

(Not available when running under DESQVIEW) Temporary exit to DOS into Extract Directory - ALT-F10 This will temporarily clear the screen and exit to DOS into the currently defined extract directory. You can then execute and command you want. To return to SHEZ type in EXIT at the DOS prompt and press return. (Not available when running under DESQVIEW) Select a new archive file - F2 This option will prompt you to enter a new disk, directory, and filespec to find another archive file to work with. If you enter a filespec of $.$ SHEZ will only list directory entries and file that have extensions of .ARC, .ZIP, .LZH, .PAK, ARJ, and .ZOO. Sort the archive file list - F9 This option will allow you to sort the archive file list by Name, Extension, Date, Size, or Path name. A small window will open up asking you how you want the list sorted. Enter a N, E, D, S, or P. When sorting by Path name the files will be soted by name within pathname. Edit the selected file - F8 This option will extract the selected file onto either the default disk or the work disk specified via the configuration program. It will then invoke the editor specified via the configuration program passing the selected filename.ext to the editor. When you exit your editor SHEZ will then MOVE the extracted file back into the archive, if it has been modified, and delete the extracted copy. If an editor was not specified during the configuration process this command will not function. If the compressed file is a .ZIP file and authenticity mode in toggled on when the edited file is saved back into the compressed file the authenticity mode will be honored. If the file being edited has directory information stored with the filename, SHEZ will retain the directory information even when saving the file back into the compressed file. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -28- Specify an archive file mask - Z This option allows you to display only the files in the archive that match the file mask. The file mask uses the same wild card conventions as DOS. Toggle overwrite mode - O This option toggle overwrite mode on and off. When overwrite mode is in effect an 'O' will appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen. When overwrite mode is in effect, and you extract a file from an archive, it will be extracted even if it already exists on the target disk:\path. Add Update File Comments - ALT-C This option allows you to add and/or update the compressed file comments. Supply Password for File - G This option allows you to supply a password when working with password encrypted files. The password will be used when extracting, viewing, and modifying the currently selected compressed file.

SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -29- Set Path/Directory option - P If a file has been saved into a compressed file with a directory name the name will appear on the right side of the compressed file list. Normally when you update or extract files from a compressed file the directory information is ignored. Using the 'P' option you can tell SHEZ that you want to save and/or use the directory information. When you press the 'P' key a list of three options will appear on the screen. The first option "Do not use Dir info", tells SHEZ to ignore directory information. The second option "Use Dir Info" tells SHEZ to save the directory information when updating a compressed file, or to use the directory information when extracting files. The third option, "Use Dir Info and Recurse", tells SHEZ to save directory information when updating a compressed file and to recurse down the directory tree when looking for files. The third option also tells SHEZ to use the directory information when extracting files. The selected option will remain in effect until you specifically reset it using the P command again. The following options are passed to the compression programs when directory information is to be used: USE DIR INFO USE DIR INFO AND RECURSE ____________ ________________________ Pkzip -P Pkzip -Pr Pkunzip -d Pkunzip -d Lharc /x Lharc /x /r Lharc /x (when extracting) Lharc /x (when extracting) Please consult the compression program's documentation for further information on what these options do. View file and archive comment records - ALT-V This option will display on the screen the contents of the archive file along with any comment records that have been placed into the archive file. Add/Update highlighted archive file comments - s This option will allow you to add and/or update comment records that are associated with the highlighted file in the archive.

SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -30- Convert SFX file - CTL-V This option will convert a self extracting compressed file (.COM or .EXE) back to a normal compressed file. The normal compressed file will be placed on the same disk and in the same directory when the self extracting is located. The self extracting file will remain intact. Please note that this option is only available when you are viewing the contents of a self extracting file. For a list of the self extracting file that can be read my SHEZ see the section titled SELF EXTRACTING FILE SUPPORT on page 44. Test COM,EXE, and OVL files in a compressed file for viruses -ALT-Z Using this option SHEZ interfaces with the virus scan program (SCAN.EXE) that is produced by McAfee Associates. You must have version 39 or greater of this scan program in order for SHEZ to use it. When you press the ALT-Z key SHEZ will extract all .COM, .EXE, and .OV? files into its working directory and will execute the virus scan program to determine if any of the program files have been infected. (See the configuration section of this manual for more information on configuring SHEZ for this option). Beginning with release 6.5 of SHEZ you may now tag the files you wish to check for viruses before pressing the ALT-Z keys. When files are tagged, only the tagged files will be checked. Extract only newer files - ALT-N The ALT-N command will only extract files contained in the compressed file that are newer than the files that are contained in the extract directory. If no files are TAGGED ALT-N will extract all newer files that are contained in the compressed file into the extract directory. If there are files tagged, only the newer tagged files will be extracted. Alternate file viewers - CTL-ENTER Pressing the CTL-ENTER command will allow you to view the currently highlighted file using a user specified alternate file viewer. (SEE THE SECTION "SETTING UP ALTERNATE FILE VIEWERS" on page 47 FOR MORE INFO) Show tagged file count - ALT-T Pressing the ALT-T keys will toggle the function key line to show you, the number of files tagged, total compressed file size, and total uncompressed file size. If the compressed files you are working with is a ZIP file it will also show you the size of the ZIP file that will be created if you build a new ZIP files containing all of the tagged files. Please note this is only an estimate and does not take into account file comment records and it assumes that the compression method will be the same as is currently used. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -31- Toggle authenticity mode in PKZIP - ALT-1 Pressing the ALT-1 keys will toggle the authenticity mode when using PKZIP. If the authenticity mode is active an ! will appear on the heading line to the right of the NAME heading field. Copy tagged members to another compressed file - CTL-Y The CTL-Y command allows you to copy selected members of a compressed file to another compressed file. The target compressed file can be any currently supported compressed file format. To perform the copy, first open up the compressed file you wish to copy FROM. Then using the space bar tag the files you wish to copy. Next press the CTL-Y keys. A window will appear asking you to enter the FULL path of the compressed file to want to copy the selected members into.

Volume label processing is only supported for ZIP and ARJ type compressed files. ADDING VOLUME LABELS WHEN CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES: When creating a new ZIP or ARJ file via the F7 key, you will be asked if you wish to store volume label information. If you respond Y, you will then be asked to enter the Drive Letter of the drive to obtain the volume label information from. Enter the drive letter (A-Z). Please note: these prompts will only appear if you are creating a ZIP or ARJ compressed file. ADDING VOLUME LABELS TO AN EXISTING ZIP OR ARJ FILE: To add volume label information to a pre-existing ZIP or ARJ file, first open the compressed file by moving the highlight bar to the appropriate file. Then press the enter key. This will open the compressed file. Then press the $ key (SHIFT 4). You will be asked to enter the drive letter to obtain the volume label information from. Enter the drive letter (A-Z). The volume label from the specified drive, if any exists, will be added to the compressed file. EXTRACTING VOLUME LABEL INFORMATION: To extract volume label information from an existing compressed file, press the ALT-4 key to turn on automatic volume label processing. When automatic volume label processing is active a $ will appear next to the NAME field heading in the compressed file listing, or will appear in the upper left corner of the DOS directory display window. After activating automatic label processing, open the appropriate compressed file as documented above. Set the extract location using the ALT-P (extract path) command. Then extract any or all files from the compressed file. During the extraction process the volume label contained in the compressed file will be used to update the volume label information on the extract drive. PLEASE NOTE: ONCE YOU TURN AUTOMATIC VOLUME LABEL PROCESSING ON, IT WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL YOU TURN IT OFF BY USING THE ALT-4 KEY AGAIN. PLEASE USE THIS OPTION WITH CARE. FLOATING EXTRACT LOCATION SHEZ now supports a concept called the floating extract location. The feature was added due to numerous user requests, and is an option feature which is activated via the SHEZCFG program. Normally when SHEZ is executed SHEZ sets the file extract location to the current SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -37- disk and directory. When you change to a different disk and/or directory the extract location remains constant, pointing to the disk and directory where SHEZ was started from. To change the extract location you needed to use the ALT-P command (change extract location). The floating extract location basically allows the extract location to float as you change to a new disk and/or directory. The extract location will float to what ever disk and directory you are currently looking at. You can still dynamically specify an extract location by using the ALT-P command, but when the ALT-P command is issued the floating extract option will be de-activated from that point on. You can reactivate the floating extract location logic by pressing the ALT-P keys and entering a single asterick at the prompt. To activate the floating extract location option, use the SHEZCFG program and choose the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu item. When the SHEZCFG program prompt you for a default extract location, enter a single asterisk. The single asterisk tells SHEZ to activate it's floating extract logic. Ultravision Support SHEZ is Ultravision "aware". SHEZ will operate in an Ultravision screen mode as long at the number of columns equals 80, and the number of rows are between 25-50. If SHEZ determines that Ultravision is installed, and it active in an non-supported screen mode, SHEZ will deactivate Ultravision, and then will set the screen mode to one of the supported modes. When SHEZ is exited, it will re-activate Ultravision and put the screen mode back into the Ultravision mode is was in before SHEZ was started. FORMATTING FLOPPIES SHEZ has the ability to format a floppy disk in either the A: or B: drives. The following disk capacities are supported: 5 1/4 drives: 360KB and 1.2OK, 3 1/2 drives: 720KB and 1.44KB. To format a disk press the ALT-O keys and a dialogue box will appear. Enter the drive letter you wish to format, the capacity to format, and if you wish each track verified during the format process. The verify process will increase the time it takes to format a disk. If you are using high quality disks you can opt to not verify to speed up the format process. After the disk is formatted you will have the option of adding a volume label to the disk. If no volume label is wanted simply press the ENTER key without entering any information. NOTE: DUE TO HARDWARE AND BIOS LIMITATIONS THE FORMAT PROCEDURE WILL ONLY FUNCTION ON "AT" CLASS PC'S. IF YOU HAVE AN "XT" CLASS MACHINE THE FORMAT ROUTINE RETURN AN ERROR MESSAGE. If an error is encountered during the format process an error code will be displayed. Listed below are the error codes and their meanings: SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -38- 1 Invalid disk parameter 8 DMA overrun 64 Seek failure 2 Address mark not found 9 DMA boundary error 7 Wrong capacity for drive 3 Write protect error 12 Media type not found 10 Bad disk 4 Requested sector not found 16 CRC read error 11 Bad sectors found and marked 6 Disk change line active 32 Controller failure SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -39- KEYSTROKE RECORDING/PLAYBACK FACILITY Shez now has the built in ability to record, playback, load, and save key stokes. All of the keystroke recording abilities must be activated from the keyboard. They can not be activated via the mouse or the pull-down menus. A menu item for MACROS do appear on the menu bar, but it is only used to access the help panel for keystroke recording. If you are using a mouse the functions performed by the mouse WILL NOT BE RECORDED. Only keystrokes entered directly from the keyboard will be recorded. During keystroke recording, the ALT-Q (QUIT SHEZ) key will be recorded, but will not be acted upon. This will allow the user to record and save the ALT-Q key into the playback macro. The keyboard HOT-KEYS and there functions are explained below: ALT-5 Macro record/playback PAUSE The ALT-5 key is used to PAUSE the record/playback macro function to allow the user to respond to a dialogue box prompt. When recording a macro and a dialogue box opens, press the ALT-5 key, then enter the response to the dialogue box. The macro recording will resume as soon as the user presses the ESC, ENTER, or Function keys. When playing back a macro that has been recorded using the PAUSE feature, the macro will PAUSE at the same location where the ALT- 5 key was originally pressed, allowing the user to enter data into a dialogue box prompt. For example: If you were recording a macro to search for a string of characters in a group of files and you wanted to input a different search string each time you executed the macro, you would: 1) Start the macro recording by pressing the ALT-6 key. 2) Open up the compressed file you wish to search. 3) Tag the files you what to scan through. 4) Press the ALT-G key to pop-up the search data entry box, as shown below: +-------------------------[D:\TC\ZIP\SHEZ65S.ZIP]--------------+ |NAME SIZE DATE TIME LENGTH METHOD PATH | |--------------------------------------------------------------| |DOSWDW ASM 2875 01/25/90 11:26 7677 IMPLOD | |MAKE286 BAT 80 06/25/91 14:25 100 SHRUNK | |MAKEALL BAT 80 10/03/91 10:25 89 SHRUNK | |MA+----[ENTER STRING TO SEARCH FOR:(NO DOUBLE QUOTES CHARS AL+| |MA|==> || |MA+-----------------[PRESS ENTER TO SAVE, ESC to cancel]-----+| SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -40- |MAKESHEZ BAT 75 10/17/91 07:29 90 SHRUNK | |MSHEZD BAT 38 03/16/91 14:09 38 STORED | |SHEZ H 1466 11/22/91 07:39 4839 IMPLOD | +=Add B=Brows F=Fresh U=Update M=Move E=Xlist X=Xall P=Xpath QS+ 5) Press the ALT-5 key to PAUSE the macro facility. 6) Enter your search string and press the ENTER key. 7) After the search is done press the ALT-6 key again to stop macro recording. 8) Press the ALT-9 key to save your macro. Now when you playback the macro, when the search data entry box appears the macro will pause allowing you to alter the search string before processing the rest of the recorded macro. When the macro facility is in PAUSE mode, the ESC key, ENTER key, or any FUNCTION key will resume the execution of the macro. ALT-6 Start/Stop recording keystrokes. Pressing the ALT-6 keys will toggle the keyboard recording mode. When SHEZ is recording keystrokes the speaker will blip after every keystroke is pressed. Pressing ALT-6 again will stop the keystrokes from being recorded. Up to 500 keystrokes may be recorded. ALT-7 Immediately play back the recorded keystrokes. Pressing the ALT-7 key will immediately playback your recorded keystrokes. CTL-Q Cancel recording/playback and flush the keystroke record buffer. Press the CTL-Q key either during a recording session, or during a playback, will cancel the record/playback, and will clear the keystroke buffer. ALT-9 Save recorded keystrokes. Pressing the ALT-9 key will pop-up a window allowing the user to save the recorded keystrokes into a file for use at a later time. You must stop recording by pressing the ALT-6 key before doing a save. This key will also reset the record/playback function and clear the keystroke buffer. ALT-8 Load and Execute a saved keystroke file. Pressing the ALT-8 key will pop-up a window allowing the user to enter the name of a previously saved keystroke file. After the file is loaded it will immediately be run. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -41- SHEZ will also allow the user to load and execute a save keystroke file at startup time. The command line parameter /play={filespec} tells SHEZ to load the indicated filespec and playback the recorded keystrokes. PLEASE NOTE: SHEZ DOES NOT VERIFY THAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS FILE ARE ACTUALLY RECORDED KEYSTROKES. SO BE CAREFUL WHEN SPECIFYING THE FILESPEC!! Examples: SHEZ D:\DOWN\*.ZIP /PLAY=D:\AUTOSHEZ.MAC Start SHEZ and display all the .ZIP files in the D:\DOWN directory, and load and execute the recorded keystrokes contained in the D:\AUTOSHEZ.MAC file. SHEZ D:\SOURCE\CODE.ZIP /PLAY=D:\REFRESH.MAC Start SHEZ and open the CODE.ZIP file contained in the D:\SOURCE directory, and load and execute the recorded keystrokes contained in the D:\REFRESH.MAC file. The playback speed may also be sent to SLOW, MEDIUM, or FAST by using the mAcro drop down menu item and selecting the playback speed selection. The playback speed default is set to FAST. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -42- CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES SHEZ allows you to create new compressed files either from the directory display window, using the F7 key, or from the compressed file display window using the 'C' command. A window will appear asking you to enter the drive, directory, of where to place the new file. You may press the F9 key to view the directory structure in a tree format. After selecting the location of the new file another aditios will appear asking you to specify the name of the compressed file to be created. YOU MUST ENTER A FILE EXTENSION OF .ZIP,.ARC,.LZH,.ZOO,ARJ,or .PAK SO SHEZ KNOWS WHAT TYPE OF COMPRESSED FILE TO CREATE!!!!! Then you will asked if you want to add or move files into the new archive file. You will also be asked to enter an optional password. (If you enter a password all files added or moved to the archive file will be encrypted using the password. Do not forget the password you can not extract files from the file without the password and there is no way to determine the password if you forget it.) Please note the password prompt will only appear if the compression program used to create the new file support encryption. A window will then be opened that will ask you to enter the filespecs of the files you wish to add or move into the new archive file. This filespec can include a disk, directory, and file specifications with wild cards. A third window will be opened allowing you to specify processing options. The first option "Do you want to Tag files or Process as is" allows you to tell SHEZ that you want to Tag files for processing using the filespecs entered in the second window, or to simply pass the entered filespecs to the compression program exactly as entered. The second option "Do you want to save directory information" allows you to tell SHEZ that you want directory information saved in the compressed file. The third option "Do you want to recurse directories" will tell the compression program to add/move all files in the directory you specified plus all directories that exist beneath it. A forth option will appear, "Store volume label into Compressed file? (Y or N)->". This option will allow you to optionally store volume label information into the compressed file. The default is not to store label information. Respond Y if you wish to store the volume label information. If you respond Y a fifth option will appear, "Enter drive letter of Volume label to Save". When this prompt appears enter the letter of the drive you wish to obtain the volume label information from. If you are creating an ARJ file, you will also be asked if you wish to activate the multi-volume option of ARJ. This option allows you to create a compressed file that will span multiple floppy disks. Thus you can create a "backup" compressed file of an entire hard drive, or very large directory. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -43- If you indicated that you wanted to Tag files for processing a window will pop-up on the left side of the screen showing all files that matched the filespec you entered. Tag the files you wish to add or move to the new compressed file by pressing the space bar. When you are done tagging file press the return key and all tagged files will be added or moved into the new archive file. Please note that some of these options may not appear when you create a compressed file. If the compression program you are using does not support saving directory information the directory information prompts will not appear. CONVERTING FILES Shez has the ability to convert one, or a group of tagged files, from one format to another. First you must get the file or files you want to convert to appear in the filelist window on the left side of the screen. The easiest way to do this is to start up SHEZ and specify on the command line either *.*, *.ZIP, or *.ARC. Then using the cursor keys highlight the file you want to convert and then press the ALT-V key to convert the file. You will then be asked, via a menu, what archive format you want to convert to. Position the highlight bar to the type of compressed file you wish to convert to and press the enter key. You will also be asked if you want to delete the original file after the conversion has been successfully completed. Respond Y or N. The new file will be placed on the same disk and directory that the original file was on. To convert numerous files start up SHEZ as above and use the cursor keys to highlight the files you want to convert, then press the space bar to TAG these files. After all files have been tagged press CTL-V to convert all TAGGED files. Release 4.4 of SHEZ will support version 1.0 of PKZIP. To use the new features of version 1.0 of PKZIP you MUST run the configuration program, SHEZCFG, and specify that you are using version 1.0 of PKZIP. SHEZ will allow you to easily convert your old ZIP files into the new ZIP imploded format. Simply tag the ZIP files you want to convert and specify that you want to convert them to ZIP files. You will be asked if you want to delete the old compressed files after the conversion process. SHEZ is smart enough not to delete the old compressed file if the have the same file extension as the new files. I.E. when you convert a ZIP file to a ZIP file to take advantage of the new compression format SHEZ will not delete the converted ZIP files even if you told it to delete the old compressed files after converting them. SHEZ will also allow you to convert old LZH files to the new LHA 2.05 format using the same method of converting a file to itself. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -44- SUPPORT FOR SELF EXTRACTING FILES Beginning with release 4.7 of SHEZ, SHEZ can now let you view the contents of self extracting files. Files that have been created by the following compression programs are supported: PKARC, PKPAK, PKZIP version .92 thru 1.1, LHARC version 1.12 thru 2.05, PAK version 1.6 thru 2.01, ARC5 and ARC6, ARJ version 2.10, LHA 2.12. When you display the contents of a self extracting file SHEZ will attempt to identify which compression program was used to generate the self extracting file. SHEZ will place the name of the compression program it has identified as the creator, on the heading line right next to the column titled NAME. In addition to viewing the contents of a self extracting file you may also extract individual files using SHEZ's extract command. You may also convert the self extracting file back to a normal compressed file using the CTL-V command, or using the pull down menus. You can not alter the contents of a self extracting file. I.E. add, update, freshen, move, etc. The exception to this are self extracting files built by PKZIP. These files you can treat like normal compressed files. You can add, update, move, delete, freshen, etc. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -45- ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES SHEZ will recognize the following environment variables if they are set: BIOS This will force SHEZ to use BIOS for writing to the screen. MONO This will force SHEZ to run in monochrome mode. SHEZEX You can set this variable to the disk and path where you want SHEZ to write extracted file to. You can reset this default at any time by using the ALT-P command. SHEZWORK This variable may be used to specify a working directory for SHEZ to use instead of SHEZ building one of it's own. This directory must be for the exclusive of SHEZ, and must exist prior to invoking SHEZ. WHEN SHEZ TERMINATES ALL FILES IN THE DIRECTORY WILL BE DELETED, INCLUDING HIDDEN AND SYSTEM FILES, BUT THE DIRECTORY WILL NOT BE DELETED. This option was added to allow more flexibility when running SHEZ on a LAN based system. SHEZCMT This variable may be set to specify a default comment file when adding/updating compressed file comment records to a group of tagged files. SHEZCFG This variable points to the SHEZ.CFG file that is created by pressing the ALT-W keys. It is used to carry forward, or override the SHEZ configuration options. (See the section titled CLONING THE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS on page 55 for more information. SHEZLOG This variable defines the LOG file that SHEZ will write to when performing a virus check on tagged files from the DOS directory window. If the file does not exist it will be created. If the fill already exists new information will be appended to the existing file. SHEZXMS This variable de-activates SHEZ's use of XMS memory. It will over-ride the EMS/XMS usage parameters that were set via the SHEZCFG program. Set this variable to any value to de-active XMS memory usage. Example: SHEZXMS=N Don't use XMS memory. SHEZEMS This variable de-activates SHEZ's use of EMS memory. It will over-ride the EMS/XMS usage parameters that were set via the SHEZCFG program. Set this variable to any value to de-active EMS memory usage. Example: SHEZEMS=N Don't use EMS memory. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -46- SHEZUSE Using this variable you can over-ride the EMS/XMS memory usage configuration that was setup via the SHEZCFG program. Set this variable to the type of memory you wish SHEZ to use. I.E. E for EMS memory, and/or X for XMS memory. Examples: SHEZUSE=EX Try EMS first then XMS SHEZUSE=XE Try XMS first then EMS SHEZUSE=E Only try EMS memory SHEZUSE=X Only try XMS memroy SHEZUSE=NN Don't use XMS or EMS memory. SHEZSFI Setting this variable will force SHEZ to use it's Speech Friendly Interface logic. (See the section SPEECH FRIENDLY INTERFACE) for more information. Examples: SET BIOS=Y SET MONO=Y SET SHEZEX=D:\WORK SET SHEZWORK=C:\SHEZXX\ SET SHEZCMT=C:\COMMENT.DAT SET SHEZCFG=C:\DATA\SHEZ.CFG SET SHEZLOG=C:\LOG\SHEZ.LOG (This tells SHEZ to write extracted files onto the D disk in the \work directory. You can change this at any time after executing SHEZ by using the ALT-P command.) The environment variables BIOS and MONO will override the BIOS and MONO parameters that were entered via the configuration program. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -47- SETTING ALTERNATE FILE VIEWERS Shez has the capability to activate user specified alternate file viewers when the CTL-ENTER key is pressed. The alternate file viewers are specified via environment variables. The "generic" alternate file viewer is specified using the environment variable named SHEZEV, and "specific" alternate file viewers are specified using environment variables named SHEZEV.XXX where XXX is a file extension. For example: SET SHEZEV=C:\UTY\FVIEW $F /43 SET SHEZEV.GIF=VGIF $F /VGA SET SHEZEV.PIC=VPIC $F /P The first set command tells SHEZ the generic file viewer is located in the C:\UTY directory and is called FVIEW. The $F tells SHEZ where to place the name of the file to view and the /43 is a parameter to pass to the FVIEW program. The second set command tells SHEZ, when using the alternate file viewer to view files with a file extension of GIF, run the VGIF program, which is located in a directory in the PATH, pass it a parameter of /VGA, and the $F tells SHEZ where to place the name of the file to view. The third set command tells SHEZ which alternate file viewer to use when viewing files with an extension of .PIC. Any number of specific file viewers may be specified. When CTL-ENTER is pressed, SHEZ first looks to see of a specific alternate file viewer has been defined for viewing files with a file extension the same of the highlighted file. If one was defined it is activated and used. If a specific viewer has not been defined SHEZ then determines if a "generic" alternate file viewer has been defined. If it has SHEZ uses the "generic" viewer. If no alternate viewer has been defined SHEZ than defaults to using the normal viewer as defined when the SHEZCFG program was used to configure SHEZ. PLEASE NOTE: WHEN SHEZ ACTIVATES ANY ALTERNATE FILE VIEWER IT ALWAYS USES ITS PAGING LOGIC TO SWAP MOST OF ITS CODE OUT OF MEMORY TO GIVE MORE ROOM TO THE ALTERNATE FILE VIEWER. THIS IS NOT A CONFIGURABLE OPTION SO BE FOREWARNED!!!!!!!!!!!! SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -48- PERFORMING A VIRUS SCAN SHEZ can scan for viruses in files that are contained in compressed files. It can also scan for viruses in files that are contained in embedded compressed files. SHEZ can check an unlimited number of embedded compressed files, only limited by the amount of available disk space assigned to the SHEZ work disk. When performing a virus scan SHEZ will also check for self extracting compressed files and will also check any files contained with the SFX files. The first step performed during a virus check is to test the integrity of the compressed file. If the integrity of the compressed file is compromised, all other action on the compressed file will be bypassed, and an error message will be issued. There are two way to perform a virus scan. One is activated from the DOS directory window, and the other is invoked after opening up a compressed file. To perform a virus scan from the DOS directory window, tag the files you wish to check for viruses then press the ALT-Z or CTL-Z keys. This will initiate the scanning process on all tagged files. When virus checking files from the main DOS directory window, SHEZ will create a virus check log file if the environment variable SHEZLOG is defined. For more information on this variable set the section entitled ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE on page 45. The log file will be created if is does not exists, or will be appended to if it already exists. The file will contain a listing of all the compressed files that are being checked, plus a list of all files within the compressed files that will be checked. If a self extracting file is encountered, the log file will post an entry to the log file identifying the SFX file, and what type SFX it is. Each time the log file is opened a time and date stamp line will be written into the file before any scanning occurs. The log file is NOT updated when doing a virus scan from within an opened compressed file, it is only updated/created when doing a scan from the DOS directory window. BBS SYSOP NOTE: When performing a bulk virus scan on a group of tagged files SHEZ operates differently depending on in the SHEZLOG feature is active. If the SHEZLOG feature is NOT active, any errors encountered will cause an error message box to appear on the screen, and all activity will stop until a key is pressed. If the SHEZLOG feature is active, all error messages will be posted to the file pointed to by the SHEZLOG environment variable. No error messages will appear on the screen. Also when operating in this mode, you may cancel the bulk virus scan, after initiating it, by press the ESC key. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -49- To perform a virus scan when viewing the contents of a compressed file, simply press the ALT-Z keys. When doing a virus scan from within an opened compressed file, SHEZ will also look for embedded compressed files and will perform the scan on files contained within them. The only exception to this is if you are looking inside an embedded compressed file when you activate the scan, (ALT-Z). Under this condition SHEZ will only check the files contained in the current compressed file. VIRUS CHECKING SELECTED FILES If you wish to only check a few files contained in a compressed file for viruses, tag the files you wish to check then press the ALT-Z key. Only the tagged files will be checked instead of all in the compressed file. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -50- THE SGREP PROGRAM The SGREP program, supplied with SHEZ, is used by SHEZ when the ALT-G key is pressed, to scan member(s) of a compressed file for words or phrases. It is included in the SHEZ package for those user's that do not have the FGREP program written by Chris Dunford. While the SGREP program performs the same function, it is not as fast or as powerful as Chris Dunford's FGREP program. When the ALT-G keys are pressed, SHEZ first tries to locate the SGREP.COM program, if it can not be found SHEZ will than try to locate the FGREP.COM program. Which ever program is found will be the one SHEZ users to scan for text. The SGREP command line format uses a subset of the FGREP program to maintain compatibility with FGREP. SGREP does allow the user to specify two target strings in the search argument. These two target strings are connected with an and, &, or or, '|' separator. Thus allowing the user to search for two different strings, or two strings or words contained on the same line. When the specific string is found, the line in the file that contains the string is written to the stdout DOS device, which is normally the display. The output may be redirected to a file or a printer using the normal DOS redirection symbols. The format of the SGREP command line is as follows: SGREP [options] "target(s)" {file(s)...|@file} Where options are: -f display **FILE-NAME for finds only -l line numbers -c case sensitive search -x no logo -e return errorlevel only -p pause when screen is full -v verbose display output @file indicates an ascii file containing a list of file to process. This list MUST include the complete file specification. I.E. The disk, directory, filename, and file extension. The target string(s) must be enclosed in quotes and special characters can be specified as indicated below. Hex byte sequences can be used to search for special non-displayable characters. They are specified using a pair of hexadecimal bytes preceded by a dollar sign,$. EXAMPLES: $23 include is the string #include $252.50 is the string %2.50 $23$24$25 is the string #$% SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -51- Two targets may be specified using the & and | characters to search for two targets. If the & is used the lines must contain both targets. If the | is used the lines must contain one of the targets. Example: "save|main" line must have save or main to be listed. "save&main" line must have save and main to be listed. The format of the SGREP command line is presented here for documentation purposes only since SHEZ automatically invoked either SGREP or FGREP itself using a predefined set of options. SGREP may be run from the DOS command prompt, or when using the ALT-Y command option of SHEZ. THE DUMPMAC PROGRAM The DUMPMAC program is a small program designed to dump a saved macro file to the DOS stdout device, normally the screen, and list the recorded keystrokes in readable form. The command line format is: DUMPMAC macro-file-name The output of the program is self explanatory, and can be used to debug or list unknown SHEZ macro files. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -52- THE SHEZFG PROGRAM Release 5.5 of the SHEZCFG program now requires that you enter the full path of the SHEZ.EXE program you wish to configure. This has been done since some users are running multiple copies of SHEZ configured differently. Beginning with release 5.4 of SHEZ, the configuration program will now allow you to install the serial number you receive from CSD when you register your version of SHEZ. Installing the serial number "unlocks" SHEZ and allows you to configure SHEZ to handle more files per directory and per compressed file. The 5.4 version of the SHEZCFG program will also allow you to pass optional command line arguments to the editor that you tell SHEZ to invoke. The SHEZCFG program directly modifies the SHEZ.EXE program. The configuration program SHEZCFG and the SHEZ program now come as a matched set. YOU MUST USE THE CORRECT CONFIGURATION PROGRAM OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE SHEZ. The configuration program will present you with an initial menu. Enter one of the highlighted letters that appears on the menu to set the configuration parameters that fall under the indicated category. New items that can be set during configuration are: 1) Use the BIOS for screen writing. 2) Indicate if you are using a Monochrome monitor. 3) Set default ZIP compression factors. 4) Enter a full Disk:\Directory name for all externally called programs. (I.E. PKZIP, PKUNZIP, LIST, etc.) 5) Indicate if you want exploding windows or not. The configuration program will allow you to modify SHEZ'S default color setting, tell SHEZ the name of the archive programs, the name of extract program, customize the number of files per archive file SHEZ can handle, customize the number of files per directory SHEZ can handle, specify a work disk to use when viewing and executing file from an archive file, and other misc. parameters. When you start up SHEZ it records the current disk and directory. When you view or execute a file from an archive file SHEZ temporarily extracts the file onto the current disk and directory. This works fine as long as the current disk is your hard disk. However if your current disk is a floppy and there is not enough room on the floppy to build the extracted file than SHEZ will not let you view or execute the file. To get around this use the configuration program and when the prompt: ENTER WORK DISK DRIVE LETTER TO USE WHEN VIEWING/RUNNING FILE-> SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -53- appears enter the disk drive letter of your hard disk or of your second floppy disk drive. SHEZ will then use this disk to build the temporary extract files and will delete them when you are finished viewing or running the selected file from the archive. When running under EGA or VGA you can tell SHEZ to go into 43 line mode for EGA'S, and 43 or 50 line mode for VGA's. This is done via the configuration program. You may tell SHEZ the files to search for when you use the wildcard filespec of $.$. The configuration program will ask you to enter the file extension to search for when you enter a filespec of $.$. The defaults are .ARC,.ZIP,.LZH,.ZOO,.ARJ,.PAK. If you wish to modify these defaults enter the extensions, along with the preceding dot, and separate each extension with a comma. A new configuration option is present beginning with release 4.1 of SHEZ. The option will allow you indicate to the compression programs the disk drive to use to build temporary working copies of the compressed files. If you are using PKZIP and/or PKPAK, PKARC, the disk drive letter will be passed to these programs by using the -b program option. If you are using LHARC it will be passed to LHARC by using the /w switch. Please refer to the compression program's documentation for further information. If you are using a monochrome monitor and you wish to alter the default screen attributes follow the procedure below or your attribute settings may be lost. 1) When the main configuration panel is displayed choose either the Black and White color set, or the Monochrome set as a starting point. 2) Then choose the Custom color set option to customize the screen attributes as you see fit. 3) Choose any other configuration options after you are done modifying the color set. 4) Save the configuration information. In version 4.4 of SHEZ you may now configure SHEZ to display the directory where extracted files will be placed. This option may be set via the configuration program. If this option is activated the extract location will be displayed on the top line of the screen when you are viewing the contents of an archive file. Beginning with version 4.9 of SHEZ you may now configure SHEZ to sort the contents of a compressed file when it is initially displayed on the screen. You may sort the compressed file list by Filename, File- extension, or by File-Date. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -54- CONFIGURING FOR VIRUS SCANNING Under the program options, you will be asked if you wish to configure SHEZ to scan .COM and .EXE files contained in compressed files for viruses. If you respond Y, SHEZ will that ask you where the virus checking program can be found. The programs that SHEZ supports are, SCAN.EXE version 39 or greater, produced by McAfee Associates, and the virus scanning program by Central Point. When prompted enter the complete DISK:\DIRECTORY\FILENAME.EXT of where the virus scanning program is located. It is advised that you place the SCAN program on a write protected floppy disk to prevent it from being infected. You may also optionally enter any additional command line options that the virus scanning program requires. The optional parameters are entered after the SHEZCFG prompts for them. If you use the /report feature of McAfee's virus scanning program, and you use the SHEZLOG feature, as explained in the section titled PREFORMING A VIRUS SCAN on page 48. PLEASE BE SURE TO specify two different files names. If they are both pointing to the same file the results will be unpredictable. PLEASE NOTE: SHEZ WILL NOT SEARCH YOUR PATH FOR THE SCAN PROGRAM. IF YOU DO NOT TELL IT EXACTLY WHERE TO FIND IT SHEZ WILL BE UNABLE TO EXECUTE THE PROGRAM. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -55- CLONING THE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS or CREATING A CONFIGURATION FILE Beginning with release 3.7 of SHEZ there is an option that allows you to write out a configuration file (SHEZ.CFG) that will be used by the configuration program, SHEZCFG, to copy your configuration information from your current version of SHEZ to the next version of SHEZ. To perform the cloning operation do the following steps: 1. Start up the SHEZ program with no parameters. 2. When the file list window appears press the ALT-W keys. This will write out the current SHEZ configuration information into a file named SHEZ.CFG onto the current disk and directory. 3. Unpack all files from the new version of SHEZ onto the disk and directory where the SHEZ.CFG file exists. 4. Rename the old SHEZ.EXE program file to SHEZ.OLD 5. Run the SHEZCFG program. 6. You will be asked the name of the program to modify, the default is SHEZ.EXE. Press the enter key and the following message should appear at the top of the screen: CONFIGURATION INFORMATION FROM FILE SHEZ.CFG BEING USED 7. Press the enter key to display the configuration menu. 8. Select the Save configuration information option, and your new copy of SHEZ will be updated with your old configuration information. 9. Delete the SHEZ.CFG file. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -56- UPGRADING SHEZ TO A NEWER VERSION Beginning with release 5.8 of SHEZ there is another method of carrying forward the configuration options from one version to another. By using the new environment variable named SHEZCFG to point to the SHEZ.CFG file that was created by using the ALT-W command sequence. If you already have a configured version of SHEZ skip to step 4. 1. First run the SHEZCFG program and configure SHEZ to your personal tastes. 2. Be sure to save your options by choosing the Save configuration information off the SHEZCFG program menu. 3. Start up the SHEZ program with no parameters. 4. When the file list window appear press the ALT-W keys to create the SHEZ.CFG file. 5. Copy the SHEZ.CFG file onto the Disk and directory of your choosing. 6. In you autoexec.bat file insert the following line: SET SHEZCFG=C:\DATA\SHEZ.CFG Substitute C:\DATA\SHEZ.CFG with the disk and directory where you copied the SHEZ.CFG to. 7. Now when you start-up SHEZ, it will read it's configuration information from the file name identified by the SHEZCFG environment variable instead using the configuration information stored inside SHEZ itself. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU USE THIS METHOD THE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FILE POINTED TO BY THE SHEZCFG ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE COMPLETELY OVERRIDES THE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION STORED INSIDE SHEZ. COMPATIBILITY ISSUES SHEZ achieves fast screen updates buy writing directly to video buffer memory. If your machine is not 100% compatible you can force SHEZ to use BIOS routines to update the screen. This is accomplished by setting an environment variable BIOS equal to Y. I.E. SET BIOS=Y. Do this before executing SHEZ. For monochrome monitors a similar method is employed set the environment variable MONO equal to Y. I.E. SET MONO=Y. Some clone machines have a bug in the builtin BIOS routines that will cause SHEZ to hang if you have exploding windows turned on. If you experience a machine lock up, try reconfiguring SHEZ and turn the exploding windows off. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -57- DESQVIEW COMPATIBILITY SHEZ is now DESQview aware. When setting SHEZ up under DESQview set the parameter WRITE DIRECTLY TO SCREEN to NO, and USES OWN COLORS to YES. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -58- SWAPPING SHEZ OUT OF MEMORY This section briefly describes how SHEZ swaps itself out of memory to make room for other programs. It also describes how the user can configure SHEZ to perform it's swapping function. When you configure SHEZ to swap itself out of memory when running other programs, SHEZ first looks to see if your system has EMS or XMS memory installed. If there is EMS or XMS memory, and there is a sufficient amount of EMS or XMS memory, SHEZ will copy most of it's code to EMS or XMS memory then free up enough memory to run another program. After the other program has ended SHEZ then swaps itself back into memory. As a default SHEZ will first look to see of XMS memory is available. If XMS is available and there is a sufficient amount of XMS memory SHEZ will swap itself to XMS memory. If XMS memory is not available, or there is not enough XMS memory available, SHEZ will them look for EMS memory. If EMS memory is available, and there is sufficient EMS memory, SHEZ will swap itself into EMS memory. If EMS memory is not available, or there is not enough EMS memory available SHEZ will then swap itself to disk. If EMS or XMS memory is not available, or there is not enough EMS or XMS memory, SHEZ will then use your DISK to swap itself out of memory. It allocates disk space on the currently active drive and in the current directory. When SHEZ swaps to disk it can conflict with some compression operations. To solve this problem the SHEZCFG program allows you to tell SHEZ, HOW AND WHERE TO SWAP itself. The SHEZCFG program allows you to tell SHEZ the DISK and DIRECTORY of where to build it's swapper file if it needs to swap to disk. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CREATE A SEPARATE AND UNIQUE DIRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DRIVE FOR SHEZ TO USE WHEN SWAPPING TO DISK. THIS DIRECTORY SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY FILES IN THE DIRECTORY. USING THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM, TELL SHEZ THE LOCATION AND THE NAME OF THIS DIRECTORY. THEN IF SHEZ NEEDS TO SWAP TO DISK IT WILL PLACE THE SWAPPER FILE INTO THIS UNIQUE DIRECTORY, AND AFTER THE SWAP FUNCTION IS COMPLETE IT WILL REMOVE THE SWAPPER FILE. The SHEZCFG program also allows you to tell SHEZ to ignore EMS or XMS memory, even if you have EMS and/or XMS memory installed, and always swap to disk. Since these option are new in release 6.1 PLEASE RUN THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM AND SET THE SWAPPING OPTIONS TO YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -59- The swapping options can be found under the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu item. You can tell SHEZ to use XMS, EMS, and disk for swapping. If you specify all three XMS will be tested first, then EMS, then disk. USING EMS/XMS MEMORY IN SHEZ Beginning with release 7.0 of SHEZ, SHEZ can now use 65K of XMS or EMS memory to reduce it's DOS memory requirements. The XMS/EMS memory is used for temporary storage areas, thus reducing the amount of DOS memory SHEZ needs. The XMS/EMS memory will be released when you exit SHEZ. If SHEZ uses EMS memory, it will also use a portion of the allocated EMS memory as a file buffer area when copying files from the DOS directory display. This will significantly speed up the copy operations, so it is recommenced to use EMS memory if it is available. EMS / XMS memory usage can be configured through the SHEZCFG program via the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu item. Shown below is the EMS/XMS configuration option as it will appear on the screen: SHEZ can use EMS or XMS memory to reduce it's memory requirements. SHEZ will first try to use EMS and then XMS if EMS memory is not available. You can tell SHEZ to only use EMS, only use XMS, not to use either, or to try XMS first then EMS. At the prompt enter EX to use EMS then XMS, OR enter XE to use XMS then EMS, OR enter E to use only EMS, OR enter X to use only XMS, OR enter to spaces to not use EMS or XMS. Enter EMS-XMS usage as described above->EX You can over-ride the memory usage options through the use of environment variables. See the section titled ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE for more information. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -60- SPEECH FRIENDLY INTERFACE Release 7.1 of SHEZ implements a new feature called Speech Friendly Interface, (SFI). This feature makes SHEZ more friendly to users with speech synthesizer boards, (these enable the blind users to read the computer display). The SFI interface has been implemented in three parts. In addition the Copyright box will not appear in the upper right corner of the display, leaving the screen a little cleaner. The first SFI feature is that most dialog boxes, error message boxes and informational boxes will be displayed using DOS BIOS routines instead of writing directly to the video buffers. This feature should make interfacing SHEZ to a speech synthesizer a little eaiser. The second SFI feature will position the cursor on the currently active screen line. This feature has been implemented when viewing the DOS directory listing, the compressed files listing, the help screens, and the drop down menu system. When possible the cursor will be placed to the right of the first pertinent data appearing on the screen. However there are some dialog boxes, and prompt boxes that this positioning is not 100% accurate. To solve this problem, the third part of the SFI interface includes the ability to "FREEZE" the screen, and use the cursor keys to walk around the screen. To freeze the screen press the ` (left single quote character). This will place the screen in a frozen state UNTIL YOU PRESS THE ` KEY AGAIN. When the freeze frame is activated a low to high beep sound will be made. When exiting the freeze frame feature a high to low beep will be made. While in the frozen state the following cursor movement keys are active: CURSOR-UP = move cursor up one line CURSOR-DOWN = move cursor down one line CURSOR-LEFT = move cursor left on character CURSOR-RIGHT = move cursor right one character PAGE-UP = move cursor to upper left corner of screen PAGE-DOWN = move cursor to lower left corner of screen CONTROL-HOME = move cursor to first significant character on current line. (A significant character is a character having an ascii code greater then a decimal 20, and less than a decimal 123) HOME = move cursor to where is originally was before you started fussing with it. The only one way to activate the SFI feature is by setting the environment variable SHEZSFI to the value of Y. I.E. At the C:> prompt enter the following command: SET SHEZSFI=Y SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -61- WHERE TO FIND THE MOST CURRENT VERSION The following BBS's will have the most current version of SHEZ: Directory Assistance (707)579-8334, (707)579-8234 (Main distribution and support BBS) EXEC-PC (414)964-5160 MicroSellar (201)239-1346 AV-SYNC (404)320-6202 Vern Buerg's Bit Boutique (707)778-8944 Baudeville BBS (416)283-6059 Canada Distribution Point Comupserve In the IBMSYS Forum Library 6, keyword of SHEZ Genie In the IBM roundtable.
