After reading messages on BBS's about the problems caused by long comments
containing ANSI sequences in ZIP files I thought it might be useful
to have a utility that did nothing more than strip the file comment
out of a ZIP file.
The syntax for STRIPZIP is the same as for my ZIPV:
STRIPZIP [/B] file_spec1[.ZIP] [file_spec2[.ZIP] ... ]
The file specs can contain wildcards. The /B option will prevent the
name and path of the ZIP file from being displayed (this is primarily
for BBS use).
STRIPZIP creates a temporary file on the SAME drive as the ZIP file (so
that I can simply rename the result). This means that there must be
approximately as much free disk space as the size of the largest ZIP
file to be stripped.
If you strip a single file STRIPZIP returns an ERRORLEVEL of 0 if it
is successful, an ERRORLEVEL of 1 if there is a problem. The problem
could either be that the ZIP file was invalid or that there wasn't
enough disk space to process the file. If you strip multiple files
you will only get the result from the last file processed. (STRIPZIP
will stop if the disk is full but if the ZIP file is invalid it will
skip it and process the next file.)
