ZIPLOGO Version 5.0 (c) 1991 Magic Software Ltd.
I Wrote ZIPLOGO because there just wasn't any program that
could do what I wanted it to do. Which was :add a logo to my
zip-files on my BBS; there was one little utility that could
add a comment to my zip-files, ZIPTXT, a PD program by Louis
Van Geel, but it could only handle one file at a time.
If you wanted to add a logo to all your zip-files this could
take many hours of hard work. Accordingly, since I'm not such
a hard worker I developed this little program.
ZIPLOGO is completely written in Extended Batch Language.
The colourscreens were converted with ANSI2BAT, also a Magic
Software Ltd. Utility.
It took me one month to complete this program, it's not easy
to tell a zip-file how to behave... it took me another two
months to find out how to add a logo to an ARJ-file without
altering the date.
After many hours of testing the program finally does what I
want it to do : Add comments to Zip-files, big deal you say?
Maybe, but do you know of any other program that can handle
ALL your ZIP and ARJ -files with a single command ???????
Yes that's right ONE command to process your entire harddisk !
So now you no longer have a reason not to update all those
old zip-files with the old On-Line hours or a co-sysop's name
in it you would prefer not to see...
Anyway, this program is just what you always wanted, but were
afraid to ask !!!
Ladies and gentlemen, Magic Software Ltd. proudly presents :
ZIPLOGO.EXE
And now in version 5.0 ZIPLOGO also can add a logo to ARJ-files !
Thanks go to Magnus Ostergren for making my life impossible by
constantly asking me to adapt ZIPLOGO so it could process ARJ's.
It took me a two months to find the correct algorithm, but now
the original date is not updated (unless you use /new)
Feel free to use it for a trail period of 30 days, if you
want to continue using it, you should register !!!!!
Registration gives you the right to a registration key,
this key contains information about your BBS-name.
It will have "Registered to ......... BBS" in it instead of
the "UNREGISTERED VERSION".
So have a heart, register.
Together we can keep shareware alive !!!!!

ZIPLOGO Version 5.0 (c) 1991 Magic Software Ltd.
[1] ADD ANY LOGO TO YOU ZIP-FILES
_________________________________
Using an ASCII editor like DGEDIT or WORDSTAR you can create
an Logo File. After processing the zipped file with ZIPLOGO,
your logo will be displayed each time the file is unzipped.
A logo could look like this :
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
[2] PROCESS ALL YOUR ZIP-FILES WITH A SINGLE COMMAND
____________________________________________________
Use the /ALL parameter
e.g. ZIPLOGO c:\pb\bbstxt /all
will update all zip-files in your current directory.
This feature by itself should be worth registering.
ZIPLOGO Version 5.0 (c) 1991 Magic Software Ltd.
[3] FULLY ANSI SUPPORTED
________________________
If your zip-file contains ANSI codes, it will be displayed in
colour when unzipping it with the -q option.
e.g. PKUNZIP MAGIC.ZIP -q
will display the Logofile in colour (if any)
To make colour screens you could use THEDRAW.
For ARJ-files with ansi the command is :
ARJ X -JA [FILENAME]
[4] KEEP ORIGINAL ZIPDATE
_________________________
The original Zipdate is left unaltered, because most BBS
programs use this date to check for new files.
ZIPLOGO Version 5.0 (c) 1991 Magic Software Ltd.
[5] PROCESS YOUR ENTIRE HD WITH 1 COMMAND
_________________________________________
Syntax : ZIPLOGO [LOGOFILE] [/ALL] [/CFG]
You need a file called ZIPLOGO.CFG
This file should contain a list of your paths to process.
To create one:
e.g.
COPY CON ZIPLOGO.CFG
c:\pb\hack
d:\data\files1
c:\zip\files\new
e:\bbs\up
^Z
This option was included for Sysops who want to process all their files in
all their different subdirectories. (Useful the first time you use ZIPLOGO
on your BBS.) If you have lots of files in lots of subdirs, this option is
the solution or if you want to install a brand new logo.
You write the ZIPLOGO.CFG file, run ZIPLOGO and just sit back and relax
(or go out and have a drink if you have a huge HD), by the time you get
back all your zip-files will contain your new Logo !!!
NOTE : Depending on the ammount of files the building of the programlist can
take several minutes. In version 5.0 these routines have been speeded up by
as much as 80%
ZIPLOGO Version 5.0 (c) 1991 Magic Software Ltd.
[6] AUTOMATIC UPDATE FACILITY
_____________________________
If you have files that already contain a logo, made by another similar
program, ZIPLOGO will sense that and automatically update it with your
new Logo. The old logo will be displayed on the screen.(if any)
So feel free to use ZIPLOGO on ALL your zip-files, that's why it was written
in the first place. You needn't fear for zip-files with old logos, they
will simply be updated.
In Short :
- The old logo is removed
- The new logo is added
- No matter what program made the old logo !!!
[7] Give system date
____________________
You can give the system date to all your zipfiles in the current directory
Handy for the uploads ... they will then be shown as new files since most
BBS programs look for the date of the files.
I have made it so that the /NEW feature doesn't work with the CFG-file so
that even the dumbest Sysop can't mess up his entire HD ...
[8] Check Zip-files
___________________
All Zip-files are now checked for errors, if an error occurs a file called
ZIPLOGO.ERR will be written, containing the name of the file and the error
that occured .
A logo will not be given to the corrupted files so you can use PKZIPFIX on
them.
ZIPLOGO Version 5.0 (c) 1991 Magic Software Ltd.
[9] All the above for ARJ-files
-------------------------------
If you want to process ARJ-files just add [/ARJ] after the other
commandline parameters.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
================
Q. I used ZIPLOGO and after I unzipped one of my files the logo contains
a line of ASCII, a blank line,a line of ASCII, a blank line...
A. Simple, you must make sure that your Logo-file does not contain spaces
at the end of EACH line. You can solve this problem (and you can see it)
by taking an ASCII wordprocessor and use the "End" key. If you don't jump
to the last ASCII character on that line, delete all the spaces after it !!
Repeat this process for each line.
Q. An other program made my old Logo. It's not a well-known program.
Will it be compatible ???
A. Yes, it will. This program senses old Logo's, and will automatically update
them. If you're still not convinced, copy one of your old zip-files
containing your old logo in a subdir and try it out. You'll see there was
nothing to worry about.
Q. I used an ANSI-file as my logo. When I unzip it I see a lot of rubbish
but no colours. When I update it again I can see my colours.
This is driving me crazy !!! What am I doing wrong ???
A. When using an ANSI-file as your Logo, you should unzip it with the
[-q] option.
e.g. PKUNZIP XPROMPT -q
and behold, there are your colours !!!!
This is not a limitation of ZIPLOGO but one of the defaults of PKZIP
I don't know why they don't give ANSI-support without the -q parameter.
Q. Ziplogo seems to hang when I use it. Is that a BUG ?
A. Could be a bug, but check is you gave a full path to your logo-file
You MUST give a full path !!! Even if the logo-file is in your current
directory !
Q. I used a /All and it doen't work !
A. /All or /Arj is not the same as /ALL or /all or /ARJ or /arj !
You should mix ! Use only upper or only lower case !
The same goes for /CFG or any other parameter !!!

Q. I live in the U.S.A., how can I register this wonderful program ???
I would like to see my name instead of the "UNREGISTERED VERSION"
What country is Belgium in anyway ???
A. That's one of the many things our BBS is for !!! You can call Magic BBS
+32-53-67.19.11 or write to Steven Debruyn
Welleplein 29/22
9473 Welle
Belgium

or fax your registration form or questions to +32-53-67.38.44
Fill in the registration form and upload it or send it by mail. We have
Z-modem, Y-modem, X-modem, Lynx, Puma and Bimodem protocols.
Your registration key will be made. You can either download your
registration key or it can be sent to you by mail. If you choose mail,
please add 100 BEF for postage and packaging.
As soon as the money reaches me, your copy will be put on the BBS as a
personal file, or will be sent by mail.
Q. How much is 500 BEF ???
A. BEF stands for Belgian Franks. Go to your local Bank, they can tell you
how much that is in your local currency. (It's not much!!!)
I think 100 BEF is about 3 $ (more or less...)
If you send money, only send notes and make sure that the enveloppe
is sealed properly !!!
