ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS NEEDED
You will need, at a minimum, at least one file compression program, and
optionally 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, ZOO, and SQZ. 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.

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.

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.
THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM MUST BE USED TO CREATE AN EXTERNAL CONFIGURATION FILE. SHEZ
WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT A CONFIGURATION FILE!!!!!
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,
.ZOO, and .SQZ 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.SQZ, 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 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
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -7-
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.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
The command line format when starting SHEZ is as follows:
SHEZ [filespec] [/Exxx] [/PLAY=xxx] [/LCD] [/Cfilespec] [/4]
Please note all command line options are optional. You may enter a filespec
pattern for SHEZ to use when searching for a file. All legal DOS wild card
specifies are allowed, as are Drive and Directory information.
In addition relative pathnames may also be entered on the command line.
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.
SHEZ ..\DATA\*.*
This will startup SHEZ and will list the files one directory back from the
\DATA directory.
The /E parameter tells SHEZ to set its 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 its 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 42 later in this document.
The /C parameter allows you to specify the location of the SHEZ configuration
file on the command line. The filespec immediately following the /c will be
used as the configuration file. This will over-ride the SHEZCFG environment
variable if it has been specified.

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.
INTERNAL QUICK-VIEWER
Shez also contains it's own internal file browser called QUICKVIEW. QUICKVIEW
has full mouse support and will allow you to view any size file using a minimum
of memory. While it is not substitute for a full featured browsing program such
as Vern Buerg's LIST program, it is very fast and allows you to view any file in
ASCII or HEX modes. If you don't have an external browsing program QUICKVIEW
will allow you to use SHEZ as it was intended.
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.

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

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, 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.

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

VOLUME LABEL SUPPORT
Shez now supports adding and extracting volume label information to/form
compressed files. 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 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).
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -41-
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 its 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.
If your PC is an "XT" class machine, the format dialog box will ask you the type
of disk drive you are formatting in. Enter the code that corresponds to the
type of floppy drive you have installed.
Formatting error codes can be found in the Apendix of this manual.

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.

SUBSTDATA(c
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,SQZ,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.
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.
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -46-
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.
During the conversion process, SHEZ will convert any nested compressed files
that is can identify. NOTE: nested compressed files that have been stored with
path names will not be converted. Self extracting compressed files also will
not be converted. SHEZ can only process compressed nested files that are one
level deep. Any nested compressed files that are nested more than one level
deep will remain un-touched.
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.
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.
After SHEZ converts a compressed file it will test the converted file for
correctness. If the converted file fails this test the converted file will be
deleted and the orginial compressed file will remain intact.
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 -47-
SUPPORT FOR SELF EXTRACTING FILES
SHEZ also lets 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 2.04, LHARC version 1.12 thru 2.05, PAK
version 1.6 thru 2.01, ARC5 and ARC6, ARJ version 2.10, LHA 2.12, SQZ 1.082
1.083.
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.

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 its 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 your SHEZ.CFG file. It is used to carry
forward, the SHEZ configuration options.
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.
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
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -49-
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.

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.

indicates to SHEZ what program should be run as the alternate viewer, based on
the highlighted file"s extension, when a user pressing the CNTL-ENTER key.
The external file, SHEZ.INI, MUST be located in the current directory, or in a
directory that is specified in your path statement.
SEE APPENDIX 2 FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE ENTRIES ALLOWABLE IN THE SHEZ.INI
FILE.
SETTING USER DEFINED PRINTER
The SHEZ.INI file also allows you to define up to three user defined printers.
Included with each printer definition is it"s name as it will appear on the
menu, a required setup string, an optional endup string, the number of character
per line to print, and the number of lines per page to print. The format of the
required entries in the SHEZ.INI file is shown in APPENDIX 2.
SETTING UP USED DEFINED MENU ENTRIES
The SHEZ.INI file also allows user defined menu items to be defined. Up to ten
user defined programs and/or batch files can be specified and they will appear
on the uSer menu option when selected. See APPENDIX 2 for the format of the
entries required in the SHEZ.INI file.

MANUAL PAGE -51-
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 48. 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:
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -52-
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.
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.
VIRUS SCANNING A DIRECTORY
When in the DOS directory view screen you may also virus scan an entire
directory. Simply move the highlight bar to the directory you wish to scan and
press the ALT-S keys. SHEZ will use the user defined virus scanning program to
scan the files in the highlighted directory.
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -53-
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 .
SGREP allows 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. SGREP also has the capability to search the specified
file(s) for a regular expression. When performing a regular expression search
only one target may be specified. See REGULAR EXPRESSIONS below on how to build
a regular expression. 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
-r target is a regular expression
@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$25 is the string #$%
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.
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -54-
The format of the SGREP command line is presented here for documentation
purposes only since SHEZ automatically invokes the SGREP 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.
REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
The regular_expression defines the pattern to search for. Upper- and lower-case
are always ignored. Blank lines never match. The expression should be quoted
to prevent file-name translation.
x An ordinary character (not mentioned below) matches that character.
"\" The backslash quotes any character. "\$" matches a dollar-sign.
"^" A circumflex at the beginning of an expression matches the beginning of a
line.
"$" A dollar-sign at the end of an expression matches the end of a line.
"." A period matches any character except "new-line".
"*" An expression followed by an asterisk matches zero or more occurrances of
that expression: "fo*" matches "f", "fo" "foo", etc.
"+" An expression followed by a plus sign matches one or more occurrances of
that expression: "fo+" matches "fo", etc.
"-" An expression followed by a minus sign optionally matches the expression.
"[]" A string enclosed in square brackets matches any character in that string,
but no others. If the first character in the string is a circumflex, the
expression matches any character except "new-line" and the characters in
the string. For example, "[xyz]" matches "xx" and "zyx", while "[^xyz]"
matches "abc" but not "axb". A range of characters may be specified by
two characters separated by "-". Note that, [a-z] matches alphabetics,
while [z-a] never matches.

THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM
The SHEZCFG program is now fully menu driven and contains full online help. As
you modify information on each screen be sure to press the F10 key to save each
entry screen. After going through all the configuration items be sure to select
the "A" menu item to save your configuration information.
THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM MUST BE RUN TO CREATE A CONFIGURATION FILE OR SHEZ WILL NOT
RUN!!
After creating a shez configuration file you may place the configuration file
into a directory that is specified in your PATH statement.
Shez will find its configuration file as follows:
If the SHEZCFG environment variable is set SHEZ will use the configuration
file that has been specified by the environment variable.
If the SHEZCFG environment varialble has not been set Shez will search the
directories in your PATH looking for a file named SHEZ.CFG.
If a valid configuration file can not be located SHEZ will not run!!!!!
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 51. 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.
COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -57-
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.
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 will
also automatically release its timeslice to Desqview when waiting for keyboard
input.
WINDOWS AND OS/2 COMPATIBILITY
SHEZ has been tested under Windows 3.1 and OS/2 2.X. When running under OS/2 or
Windows enhanced mode, SHEZ will automatically release its timeslice to the
operating system when waiting for keyboard input.

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 its 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 its 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 its 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.
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
SHEZ USER
MANUAL PAGE -59-
Beginning with release 7.0 of SHEZ, SHEZ can now use 65K of XMS or EMS memory to
reduce its 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 its 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.

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 SFI support routines are activated by using the SHEZCFG program, and setting
the SFI option to Y.
4DOS AND NDOS SUPPORT
Shez offers limited support for certain capabilities when running under 4DOS and
NDOS. Shez can automatically determine if it is running under either of these

systems and will active support for their facilities automatically. The
following facilities are supported:
1) When viewing a DOS directory display pressing the ALT-D keys will display
the 4DOS/NDOS description entries if any exist.
2) When viewing a DOS directory display pressing the ALT-U keys will allow you
to UPDATE and/or ADD description entries to the currently highlighted file.
This will also active the ALT-D option automatically. When adding a
description to a file if the 4DOS/NDOS DESCRIPT.ION file does not exist one
will be created, if the file already exists it will be updated.
3) When copying, moving, or renaming files the 4DOS/NDOS description will be
carried along with the file. If the file is renamed the entry in the
DESCIPT.ION file will be modified accordingly.
4) AT THE CURRENT TIME SHEZ DOES NOT MODIFY THE DESCIPT.ION FILE WHEN YOU
DELETE A FILE. THE FILES DESCRIPTION WILL REMAIN IN THE 4DOS/NDOS
DESCRIPT.ION FILE.
USING 4DOS INTERNAL LIST COMMAND
SHEZ can be configured to use the internal LIST command of 4DOS as the default
file viewer. To configure SHEZ for this feature, use the SHEZCFG program and
select option 5 and press F10 until the menu titled OTHER PROGRAMS TO USE
appears. Answer Y to the question, "When running under 4DOS use 4DOS internal
list command". You may also enter blanks in the area that asks for the Viewing-
program to use.

SUPPORT FOR SPANNED ZIP FILES
SHEZ now offers support for ZIP files that span multiple floppies. Due to the
nature of these types of ZIP files SHEZ will limit the operations that can be
performed on spanned ZIP files. SHEZ will allow you to create spanned ZIP files
and extract from spanned ZIP files, but SHEZ will not allow you to modify the
ZIP file after it is created. You may not ADD, DELETE, RENAME, CONVERT, or add
comments to the spanned file. If you attempt to perform an illegal operation
SHEZ will display a dialog box informing you that the operation selected can not
be performed. Also it should be noted that SHEZ, in it's current release, can
only handle a maximum of 3500 files per compressed file. If you create a
spanned ZIP file containing more than 3500 files SHEZ can only process the first
3500 files it finds in the ZIP file.
Normally when you extract files from a spanned ZIP file PKUNZIP will ask that
you insert the last disk of the backup set first. SHEZ operates just the
reverse. When reading spanned ZIP files SHEZ will ask that you insert the first
disk of the backup set and each subsequent disk. In effect it reads the ZIP
from front to back. This may seem strange, but when SHEZ is done reading the
spanned ZIP file the last disk of the backup set will already be in the drive,
so when you perform an extract you will not have to insert the last disk of the
set as required by PKUNZIP.
Support was added for spanned ZIP files due to numerous user requests. If you
are using the spanned disk feature to backup a hard drive please keep in mind
that SHEZ will only be able to handle a maximum of 3500 files in the ZIP file.

APPENDIX -2- SHEZ.INI FILE
;********************************************************************
; SHEZ External viewer specification file. *
; (SAMPLE FILE ONLY!!!!!) *
; *
; AFTER MODIFYING THIS FILE IT MUST *
; BE RENAME TO: *
; SHEZ.INI *
; AND THEN COPIED TO A DIRECTORY THAT IS *
; IN YOUR PATH STATEMENT. *
; *
; *
;FORMAT OF FILE: *
; Each line must end with a Carriage return, Line feed. *
; Everything to the right of a semicolon treated as comments. *
; *
; External viewer programs are specified as follows: *
; EXT = PROGRAM *
; WHERE ext is the file extension (DO NOT ENTER THE PERIOD!) *
; program is the program to execute based on the selected *
; file extension. *
; $f indicates to SHEZ where to place the filename *
; when executing the program. *
;EXAMPLE: *
; C=E:\UTY\QEDIT.EXE $F *
; *
; If the highlighted file in SHEZ is HELP.C then SHEZ will *
; attempt to execute E:\UTY\QEDIT.EXE HELP.C *
; *
;********************************************************************
; ADVANCED FEATURES *
; *
;SPECIFYING A STARTUP DIRECTORY: *
; To tell SHEZ to change to a specific directory before running *
; the specified external file viewer use the vertical bar *
; character to separate the startup directory name from the *
; viewer command as shown below: *
; *
;GIF=E:\GIF\VPIC.EXE $F|G:\GIF\VPIC *
; *
; *
;TELLING SHEZ TO PAUSE AFTER RUNNING THE VIEWER: *
; SHEZ can pause before returning to itself allowing you to *
; view the contents of the screen after the external viewer *
; has been executed. This is accomplished by placing the ) *
; character immediately after the equal sign. *
; *
;GIF=~E:\GIF\VPIC.EXE $F|G:\GIF\VPIC *

;********************************************************************
; SETTING UP PRINTERS *
; *
;Up to three user defined printers can be defined. Each printer *
;definition requires it's own section name. The section name *
;is: [PRINTERx] where x is 1,2, or 3. *
;Each printer section must have the following keyword defined: *
; *
;NAME *
; user defined name of printer (25 characters or less) *
;SETUP *
; printer setup string *
;CHARS-PER-LINE *
; maximum number of characters per line *
;LINE-PER-PAGE *
; maximum number of lines per page *
;ENDUP *
; printer endup string (THIS IS OPTIONAL) *
; *
;The printer SETUP and ENDUP strings can be up to 100 characters in *
;length. The strings CAN NOT contain carriage return or line feed *
;characters. If these must be included in the string use the $ *
;character to enter their HEX equivalent. I.E. a carriage return *
;would be entered as $0d. The $ character indicates to SHEZ that the*
;next two characters are to be interpreted as HEX. For example to *
;enter the ASCII ESC character into the setup string use the *
;following in your string: $1b. *
; *

;*********************************************************************
; SETTING UP USER MENUS *
; *
;Up to 10 user defined menu items may be defined in this section. *
;Each menu item MUST have a NAME parameter and a PROGRAM parameter *
;defined. The NAME parameter is the text that will appear drop *
;down menu when the uSer menu option is selected. The PROGRAM *
;parameter defines what program or batch file will be executed *
;when the item is selected. The rules for defining these two *
;keyword parameters are as follows: *
; *
;NAME *
; User defined text of 25 characters or less. This text will *
; appear on the drop down menu. *
; *
;PROGRAM *
; The program or batch file to execute when the selection is *
; chosen. *
; *
; *
;SPECIFYING A STARTUP DIRECTORY: *
; To tell SHEZ to change to a specific directory before running *
; the specified user program use the vertical bar character to *
; separate the startup directory name from the program/batch *
; file to execute as shown below: *
; *
; PROGRAM=E:\GIF\VPIC.EXE|G:\GIF\VPIC *
; *
; *
;TELLING SHEZ TO PAUSE AFTER RUNNING A PROGRAM *
; SHEZ can pause before returning to itself allowing you to *
; view the contents of the screen after the program *
; has been executed. This is accomplished by placing the ~ *
; character immediately after the equal sign. *
; *
; PROGRAM=~E:\GIF\VPIC.EXE|G:\GIF\VPIC *
; *
;PASSING A FILE TO A USER DEFINED PROGRAM *
; By using the $f characters when defining the PROGRAM to execute *
; you can pass the currently highlighted filename to an external *
; program. The $f tell SHEZ where to place the filename when *
; launching a user specified program. *
; *
;This will also work when viewing the contents of a compressed file. *
;When viewing the contents of a compressed file, if the $f characters*
;are defined in the PROGRAM specification, the highlighted file is *
;extracted to a work directory and the user program is launched. *
;When the user program is exited, SHEZ will then check the extracted *
;works file's time and date stamp. If the work file was updated *
;SHEZ will REFRESH the copy of the file in the compressed file. *
