ZDoor News

ZDoor can now handle .ZIP format files. If you want a verbose listing of
the ZIP contents, you use the F V or F S commands. If the board's
default filename extension for archive files is .ZIP, then you need not
supply the extension when specifying which .zip file to process but will
need to specify it when requesting a .arc file. Likewise, if the board's
default extension is anything else (like .ARC), then the need for
specifying the filename extension is reversed.
Requested uploads are now checked for duplication elsewhere on the bbs
without regard to the filename extension. What this means is that if you
tell ZDoor you'd like to upload a file called File1.Zip, but File1.Arc
already exists on the system, that upload will be rejected.

The newest ZDoor feature is a command called MARK. It's very simple. When
you're at the main ZDoor command line, OR you're reviewing files (with the F,
L, N, or Z commands) and you reach a MORE: prompt, you just type MARK. ZDoor
will ask you what file(s) you want to mark for later download. You type one
or more filenames, and ZDoor will mark them. As an example, you can leaf
through several pages of filenames and each time you reach the MORE: prompt at
the end of the screen, you type MARK followed by the names of the files you
want. When you've finished your review, type MARK, select the Download
command, and ZDoor does the rest.

ZDoor now incorporates boolean logic in it's search routines! You can have
more than one keyword in your search string for both Z and W searches.
+ is the logical AND operator, and | is the logical OR operator.
For example, if you are interested in files that pertain to disks, you might
in the past have given the search command:
Z DISK A
to search all directories for files that have the word DISK in the file name
or in the file description. However, if you're only interested in hard disks,
you can now give the search command:
Z HARD+DISK A
and will see only files that have both the words HARD and DISK in them. If you
wanted files that had either HARD or DISK, you'd use the command:
Z HARD|DISK A
