- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. ABOUT PMZipper ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- PMZipper is a 32 bit Presentation Manager application designed to interface
- "arj", "lzh", "zip", and "zoo" archive files in a native OS/2 PM environment.
-
- In this version "zip" format is compatible with the dos version 204g archive
- format and is backward compatible with previous "zip" formats.
-
- PMZipper will display the files and default directory of files used with
- unpack.exe and unpack2.exe. Extraction of these files is implemented.
-
- Direct viewing of "inf, hlp, ico, txt, doc, cmd, bat, read, bbs, pck, ann and
- other file extensions commonly used in the OS/2 operating system is supported.
- Viewing of bitmaps is internally supported.
-
- As you move the mouse around on PMZipper's window, the lower bar will display
- help for the function below the mouse pointer. Press "F1" for more help.
-
- PMZipper can be started by double clicking on the archive icon. These should
- appear the same as PMZipper's desktop icon. If not right mouse click on the
- archive, from the pop-up menu select "Open" then PMZipper 1.4 just below the
- settings heading. If you have lost your desktop icon, go to PMZipper's Main
- Window Menu Bar "Options" heading, drop down to the "Setup" heading and arrow
- to "Create-update desktop icon...". This will update and reset the default
- settings for the file associations and working directory.
-
- You can also start PMZipper by dropping an archive on PMZipper's desktop icon.
- If you include PMZipper's directory in your path statement, you can start
- PMZipper from the commandline by typing eg. "PMZipper <filename>". Although
- more than one session can be started, this is not recommended or necessary.
-
- You can also drag and drop files onto the list box of PMZipper's Main Window to
- view the dropped file's contents. An information message will be displayed if
- the file is not supported.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. MAIN WINDOW ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Main Window
-
- Open Filedialog and display only "zip" files. If you wish to display only
- "arj", "lzh", or "zoo" files, the menubar "File" selection has an open archive
- heading for this purpose.
-
- Open Filedialog and display all files. You can doubleclick on any file you see
- here. This function button can be used to select and extract files created with
- unpack.exe and unpack2.exe. Bitmaps selected here will be displayed by an
- internal viewer, "inf and hlp" files by View.exe, "ico" files by the Icon
- Editor and txt, doc, cmd, bat, read, bbs, pck, ann, me, readme and faq by the
- System Editor "e.exe". You will get an information message if the file type is
- not supported.
-
- Create a new archive.
-
- Add files to the current archive.
-
- Delete files from the current archive. You will be prompted once more after you
- select this button, to be sure. If you select all files, you will be prompted
- to delete the archive instead. Deleting one or more files in a large zip
- archive file will appear to be slow responding. A backup copy is first
- produced, then the selected file is deleted. If no errors occur the backup is
- deleted. This is the slowest but most safe method. PMZipper is multithreaded so
- after making your selections you can minimize the view and continue until
- PMZipper is completed.
-
- Extract files from the current archive. Select a partial listing from the list
- box before clicking on the extract button. If you wish to extract all files,
- you do not have to highlight any files from the list box.
-
- View a highlighted file. or double click on any file in the list box. Bitmaps
- will be displayed by an internal viewer, "inf and hlp" files by View.exe, "ico"
- files by the Icon Editor and all other supported files by the System Editor
- "e.exe".
-
- If you like to drag and drop, drop them on the list box. Again, bitmaps will be
- displayed by an internal viewer, "inf and hlp" files by View.exe, "ico" files
- by the Icon Editor and txt, doc, cmd, bat, read, bbs, pck, ann, me, readme and
- faq by the System Editor "e.exe". You will get an information message if the
- file type is not supported. Files dropped onto the list box are for viewing
- only. They are not added to an existing displayed file. To add files to an
- archive use the "Add" files toolbar button.
-
- The list box has multiselect and extendselect enabled. You can use swipe
- selection to select items in the list box. If you click on a list item while
- holding down the Ctrl key, the selection for that item is toggled. Clicking on
- an unselected item selects that item and deselects all others. Click and hold
- the left mouse button and pull down below the bottom of the window on a long
- list. The list will select and the list box will continue to move downword
- until you release.
-
- Main Pop-Up can be selected by clicking the right mouse button on the list box.
- Select "Open Folder..." to display a drive/directory listbox. Make your
- selection, then right mouse click on the drive/directory list box to display
- its Pop-Up menu. Selecting "Open" will display the folders objects. These can
- be dragged and dropped onto PMZipper's list box, to view the file contents.

-
- Important Information
-
- Changing Cdrom Disks
- Changing cdrom disks while the program is active on the cdrom drive can cause
- a lockup. If changing cdrom disks, log to the "<C:>" drive, then change the
- disk and log back to your cdrom drive.
-
- Cdrom and Read Only Attribute
- OS/2 treats all files that are on a cdrom as being read only. This attribute
- is carried with the file when it is either copied or "dragged and dropped" to a
- hard disk or floppy. This attribute must be cleared before the file can be
- deleted. From the command prompt type "attrib -r <filename>". From the
- Program Manager, open the settings pages for the file, select file, go to the
- third page, and uncheck the "read-only" box.
-
- Maximum File Listings
- The maximum number of file listings in the list box converts to approximately
- 1000 entries of an archive file.
-
- PMZipper is Self Configuring
- There are no user input options required. This causes a delay at startup
- while the necessary files and directories are loaded and located.
-
- Temporary Directory
- PMZipper first searches for a "TEMP" environment variable, next a "TMP"
- environment variable. A working directory called "PMZipper.$$$" is created
- under the temporary environment variable directory. Please check that the
- temporary environment variable directory exists. Alternatively, "PMZipper.$$$"
- is created under the installation directory. To set the temporary environment
- variable directory, include "SET TEMP=drive:\directory" in your config.sys.
- Don't forget to also create the directory, then shutdown and reboot so OS/2 can
- read in the changes you have made to the config.sys.
-
- Timer Function
- PMZipper(UNREG) V1.4 is time limited. A signal will sound indicating the end
- of a session. Shortly thereafter an orderly shutdown will begin. All work in
- progress will complete and all program settings will be saved. Registration
- will void the timer function.
-
- Archivers Required
- NOTE: To use UnZip 5.11, copy or rename unzip32.exe to unzip.exe by typing
- copy unzip32.exe unzip.exe.
