INSTALLATION AND INSTRUCTION DOCUMENT
ZWiz (ZIP Wizard)
Version 1.0
Copyright 1990 Robert S. King
Published by Wordsetters
P. O. Box 709
Winterville, GA 30683
Introduction
ZWiz is a set of WordPerfect 5.1 macros integrated as a full-featured shell for
PKWARE's popular ZIP archive program. ZWiz allows for easy ZIPing and unZIPing of
files while still in WordPerfect. Special features (of the registered version)
include multiple command line options and the ability to retrieve a file from inside
a ZIP into WordPerfect. The program is menu-driven and is thus easy to use, though
you should read this document in its entirety before executing ZWiz. You may wish
to customize some of ZWiz's routines to fit your specific needs. Alteration of these
macros is permitted, though distribution of your customized version is strictly
prohibited.
In any event, please keep backups of your original documents. Neither the
author nor Wordsetters will be held responsible for any damages resulting from any
use of this program whatsoever.
One other note on customization: WordPerfect Corporation is constantly
changing its program. This version of ZWiz has been tested on the June 29, 1990
release of WP 5.1. Each new release requires slight modifications to the macros.
The latest ZWiz will always be available for download from The Express Line BBS
(FidoNet 1:370/20)--node 1: (404) 742-8313 for first-time callers, 2400 baud; node
2: (404) 742-7736, 9600. Or you may receive a copy through the mail by sending a
self-addressed, stamped disk mailer with floppy disk to the address shown above.
System Requirements
To run ZWiz you should have the following at minimum:
MS-DOS version 2.0 or greater
640K RAM
Hard Disk Drive C with at least 1 megabyte free
WordPerfect 5.1
PKZ110.EXE (Phil Katz's archive program containing PKZIP, PKUNZIP, etc.)
FV.COM (Vernon Buerg's archive file viewer, included in the ZWiz archive--but
see Acknowledgements/Disclaimers below for important information).
Testing
Zwiz has been tested on several 80286 and 80386 machines, and it has performed,
in terms of elapsed time, comparably to other popular shells, such as ArcMaster and
Shez. ZWiz has not been tested on XT or slower machines. Users of such machines
will have to determine for themselves the program's suitability for their needs.
Installation
The distribution disk (or the archive file, if you downloaded ZWiz from a
bulletin board) should contain the following files:
FV.COM Vernon Buerg's File Viewer (see Acknowledgements/Disclaimers
below)
FV.DOC Documentation for FV
README.1ST Setup info and version history for ZWiz
ZWIZ.DOC ZWiz complete documentation, ASCII version
ZWIZ.DOK ZWiz complete documentation, WordPerfect 5.1 version
ZWTAG.WPM Allows tagging of individual files within ZIP
ZWTAG2.WPM Allows tagging of files within ZIP; shows file comments
ZWUZ.WPM Main macro for unZIPing files
ZWZ.BAT General batch file for ZIPing files
ZWZ.WPM Main ZWiz macro
ZWZ2.WPM Controls new target directory selection for ZIPing files
All WPM files should be copied into the directory where you keep your macros (press
Shift-F1, then 6 [location of files]) to determine where these files should go).
FV.COM and ZWZ.BAT should be copied to a directory specified in your boot-up path
statement (see AUTOEXEC.BAT file)--usually the root directory (C:\). (Also, PKZIP
& PKUNZIP must be in your path statement.) ZWiz will not operate unless those files
are properly placed!
Once all files are copied, I recommend that you rename or copy the main execut-
able macro, ZWZ.WPM, to a shorthand name, such as ALTZ.WPM. This method will allow
quick execution of ZWiz. (This also assumes that PKZIP and PKUNZIP are already in
the path statement.) Alternatively, you may wish to assign ZWZ.WPM to your favorite
keyboard (WPK).
The final step of installation is to create the directory, C:\ZWZIP. It is
mandatory that you use drive C, unless you wish to go through each ZWiz macro and
change every mention of drive C to whatever drive you need.
Files/Directories Used by ZWiz
The aforementioned C:\ZWZIP is used as a temporary work directory for several
ZWiz operations. You should not store any files whatsoever in this directory.
ZWiz also creates two temporary files, WP{ZIP}.SET and WP{CAT}.SET, in the
directories affected by the command line options selected. Do not delete or move
these files while ZWiz is running.
Memory Caveats
ZWiz macros operate by shelling to DOS and calling ZWZ.BAT, PKZIP.EXE,
PKUNZIP.EXE or FV.COM, as required. If you have a lot of TSRs (stay-resident
programs), there may be insufficient memory to run external programs. To get an idea
of how much memory you have available after WordPerfect is loaded, press Shift-F1,
C (for DOS command), then CHKDSK (assuming this program is in your path statement).
The amount of free memory will be shown in CHKDSK's report. If it is less than 140K,
you may have difficulty running ZWiz. If such is the case, the only alternative is
either to remove some/all of the TSR programs or to use one of WordPerfect's start-up
option commands to limit the amount of work-space allotted to WordPerfect.
If you have expanded memory, your options are more flexible, particularly if
you are using an expanded memory manager, such as QEMM, which allows TSRs and device
drivers to be loaded into high memory, thus freeing up more conventional memory.
Even with expanded memory, you may benefit from limiting WordPerfect's work-space.
I recommend the following command line to load WordPerfect:
WP/w=120,*
This limits WordPerfect's conventional memory work-space to 120K but allows it to
use all available expanded memory. See the WordPerfect manual for other start-up
options.
Finally, if you are using a WPK file (keyboard macros) and its contents are
large, there will be less memory available for ZWiz's use. One trick in this case
is to edit the individual keyboard definitions so that they execute the needed macros
rather than contain all the macro code itself. Accordingly, to reduce keyboard
memory overhead, perform the following steps:
1. Press Shift-F1 (Setup Menu)
2. Press K (Keyboard Layout)
3. Press 7 (Edit--assuming the cursor rests on the keyboard you wish
to edit)
4. Move the cursor to whatever entry you wish to change and press A
(Action). If the screen appearing next contains the complete macro
(i.e., the entry does not already simply call another macro), this
definition is a prime candidate for change.
5. Press F7 to get back to the list of key definitions.
6. With the cursor on the desired entry, press S (Save). You will be
prompted for a macro name. Enter whatever name you wish.
7. Press A (Action) again to edit the contents.
8. Hold down the Del key until all the macro code is deleted. (If the
macro is very long, you may go back to the definition list, delete
the item from the menu and simply create it anew.)
9. Press Alt-F10, enter the name of the macro you just saved. Finally,
press Ctrl-V ENTER. As an example, suppose we had just saved the
contents to a macro called NEWMAC.WPM. Your screen should now show
the following string:
{Macro}newmac{Enter}
This short string requires less memory but the needed macro is still
available from the same keystrokes.
ZIP Wizard Error Handling
Every effort has been made to make ZWiz safe to operate. If you will follow
the prompts, you will have no problem. Nevertheless, a few pitfalls should be
mentioned up-front:
1. Do not press any keys that aren't called for in the prompts, especially
when in a file list display. Doing so could cause malfunction, lockup,
or even data loss!
2. Again, keep backups of your files, especially until you are thoroughly
familiar with the way ZWiz operates.
3. A maximum of three files at a time can be tagged while in the contents
list of any ZIP file. This is not the author's limitation. The limit
is imposed by WordPerfect, which will allow only 59 characters on the
"DOS Commands" command line.
Zip Wizard Operation
Assuming all installation is complete: To begin ZIPing or unZIPing files,
execute ZWZ.WPM (or whatever name you've given it). The macro will display the menu
shown in figure 1: ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

╚═══════════════════════════════════════╝
Figure 1. Initial ZWiz Menu.
Items one and two are strictly for ZIP operations (i.e., adding, moving, etc.
files into an archive). Conversely, items three and four are solely for unZIP
operations (i.e., extracting, viewing, etc. files in an archive).
If the files you wish to operate on are in the current directory, choose 1 or
3, as appropriate. If you wish to change to another directory containing the needed
files, choose 2 or 4 (of course, you could have changed to the needed directory
before executing ZWiz).
After you select an item from the above menu, ZWiz then tests for two
conditions:
A. Document 2 is empty. If not empty, ZWiz will display the following
message:
Document 2 must be empty to run ZWiz.
Please save or remove file from memory
and restart macro. Press ENTER to continue.
When ENTER is pressed, the macro stops and leaves you at the editing screen of
Document 2.
B. WP{ZIP}.SET does not exist. There does not exist in the current directo-
ry any temporary file from previous ZWiz operations (this would only
occur in rare cases of operator error or power failure).
If the file does exist, you will be shown the following prompt:
Error: WP{ZIP}.SET already exists on disk.
Do you wish to delete it and restart ZWiz? (y/n)
No harm will be done if you delete the file, though it might indicate that the
C:\ZWZIP directory still contains files from an aborted operation. You might wish
to answer no in order to check that directory first.
After these two conditions have been met, the initial screen of ZWiz pops up
(figure 1).
ZIPing Files
Item 2.
If you choose item 2 (figure 1), you will be prompted as follows:
Type drive letter to change to, press ENTER
Simply press the appropriate drive letter. Then you will be prompted for the
directory to change to:
Enter directory to change to, press ENTER
Important! When this prompt appears, do not type the leading \ character before the
main directory name. The necessary backslash characters are already in the program.
However, if you wish to log onto a subdirectory, you would type that character
between directory and subdirectory. The following examples demonstrate the proper
syntax:
For changing to a new directory on a hard disk:
Incorrect: \wpfiles
\wpfiles\letters
Correct: wpfiles
wpfiles\letters
For changing to a floppy disk, simply press ENTER when the prompt for directory
appears.
When the directory has been selected, you are shown the ZIP Options Menu
(figure 3).
Item 1.
Choosing item 1 from the initial menu immediately displays the ZIP Options

Figure 3. ZIP Options Menu (target directory = current with option to
change).
If you are familiar with PKZIP options, this menu should be self-explanatory. Note,
however, that the screen display above is the shareware version. The registered
version splits the menu into Primary Options (the main function to perform) and the
Secondary Options (optional command line parameters). The shareware version will
allow only one command line option.
A brief synopsis of the ZIP Options is as follows:
a. Add files to ZIP: Will add all tagged files to the designated ZIP file.
If the ZIP file already exists in the current directory, all non-ZIP files will be
placed in that ZIP archive.
c. Add/edit file comments: Will prompt you to add new comments, or to change
old ones, to each file within the designated ZIP archive. This is different from
the z option, which adds a comment to the general ZIP file name, not to its
individual files.
d. Delete files in ZIP (quick contents list): Retrieves the directory of the
designated ZIP file and prompts you (see figure 4 below) to tag the file(s) you wish
to delete from the archive. IMPORTANT!: This selection allows only 3 ZIP files at
a time to be processed, with a maximum of five files at a time to be deleted from
the ZIP archive. This limitation is imposed because of WordPerfect's maximum
character size for variables.
Move Cursor line by line, pressing ENTER
to tag each file (maximum 3 at a time).
Press F1 when done
Figure 4. File Tagging Prompt for Internal ZIP Files.
e. Delete files in ZIP (show comments first): This is the same as d above,
except the directory of the ZIP file is displayed with comments, if any, which you
have attached to the files within the archive.
f. Freshen files: This option is normally used as a Secondary Parameter,
though not necessarily. It updates files that already exist in the ZIP file with
same-named files with later times and dates. (To fully understand the difference
between Primary and Secondary options, you should carefully read the PKZIP
documentation.)
g. Change target directory: This is a very important option! If you wish the
target ZIP file to remain in the current directory when processing is complete, do
not select this option. However, if you want to change the target directory, you
will see the following prompt:
Please choose a number:
1. Type in full pathname (e.g., D:\ARCHIVE)
2. Look at directories, then type full pathname
Figure 5. New Target Directory Options.
Option 2 will display the root directory of the currently logged drive and prompt:
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Use arrows & ENTER key to look at directories, ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ press F7 when ready to choose target directory ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
Figure 6. Browse Directory Prompt.
When the new directory is chosen, the macro loops back to the option 1 prompt:
Press Drive letter
and, after you respond, displays:
Type Directory name, press ENTER (do not add \)
Again, do not type in the leading \ unless the target destination is a subdirectory
(follow the same syntax as shown in the paragraph subheading, Item 2, above).
After you change the target directory, the ZIP Options menu reappears, this
time with confirmation that you have changed target directories (figure 7). A few
words of caution are in order regarding change of target directory: Common sense
must be used. If, for example, you wanted to "View ZIP file and comments," you would
not want the target directory changed, as this option will view, not extract files.
Likewise, you would not change the target directory if you wanted to delete files
from a ZIP archive.
This document assumes you are already familiar with PKZIP command parameters.
If not, you would be wise to review them. Of course, you may routinely need only
a few of the ZIP (or unZIP) options. Most users will stick to ZIP options a, d, m,
and v; and to unZIP options e, n, o, s, and v (discussed later).

Figure 7. ZIP Options Menu--New Target Directory Set.
The following continues a brief explanation of PKZIP options:
k. Keep same ZIP date: Again, this is usually a Secondary Option. The current
ZIP file date is kept no matter what the dates of the files added to it are.
m. Move files into ZIP: The tagged files are deleted from disk after being
compressed and copied into the ZIP archive.
o. Set ZIP file to latest date: Usually a Secondary Option. The ZIP file date
is set to the date of the newest file within it.
u. Update files: The existing ZIP file will be updated with files only if they
are not currently in the ZIP file, or if they are dated later than those with the
same name already in the ZIP file.
v. View ZIP file & comments: This simply displays the directory of the chosen
archive file(s) and also shows any comments written for those files. It is possible
to view more than one file from a single directory by typing an asterisk (*) when
prompted fro a filename. Do not include the ZIP extension.
z. Add ZIP file comment: Adds a comment to the general ZIP file, not to the
files contained within.
Tagging or Naming Files to ZIP
After an option is selected, you are taken to the current directory's file list
and are prompted at the bottom of the list in one of several ways, depending on the
option you chose. Some options will require two steps; others only one. If, for
example, you select a (Add files), you are shown the following prompt:
▓▓▓▓▓▓ Press asterisk to tag files to archive, ENTER when done. ▓▓▓▓▓▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓ Press F1 to cancel. ▓▓▓▓▓▓
Figure 8. Prompt for Tagging of Files to ZIP.
After you tag the needed file(s), you are shown the target directory's ZIP file list
(if any) and the prompt:
▓▓▓▓▓ Type name of archive file (without extension), press ENTER. ▓▓▓▓▓
▓▓▓▓▓ Press F1 to cancel. ▓▓▓▓▓
Figure 9. Prompt for Typing Filename.
On the other hand, a shorter process is selecting option v (View file). You
are shown the current directory's file list and the prompt:
▓▓▓▓▓ Type name of file to view (without extension), press ENTER. ▓▓▓▓▓
▓▓▓▓▓ Press F1 to cancel. ▓▓▓▓▓
Figure 10. Prompt for Viewing File.
After you type the file name, the contents are quickly displayed.
Keystroke Rules While in File List
In all ZWiz prompts for ZIP filename entry, whether for ZIP or unZIP, there is
never any need to type the ZIP extension. This is understood by the program.
A few other words of caution: While in a file directory display, please follow
the prompt's instructions to the letter! Otherwise, you may get very undesirable
results. WordPerfect's macro programming language is not yet adept at handling
errors occurring while in menus or file lists. As the language evolves, we will add
more error handling to the code.
Also, it might be wise, until you get the hang of ZWiz, to limit your movement
in the directory list to use of the arrow keys. If, for example, you use the n (name
search) function to look for a file in the list, the prompt (figure 2) will disappear
from the screen. Do not be alarmed! The macro is still running and awaiting your
input as requested in figure 2.
Shelling to DOS--PKZIP
After the options and files have been selected, ZWiz shells to DOS and calls PKZIP,
passing along the option and filename parameters. When processing ends, you are
shown the following message:
ZIP file processing complete
If you should cancel the macro operation, or should an error condition occur, you
see:
Macro execution canceled
After either message, you are returned to the editing screen of Document 1.
Example of ZIPing a File
A more difficult session with ZWiz and PKZIP might go as follows:
First let's assume we have a file (TRASH.CAN) in the current directory (C:\JUNK)
which we want to add to the ZIP file (OZONE.ZIP) located in another drive and
directory (D:\RECYCLE):
ZWZ.WPM is executed and the menu in figure 1 displays.
Press 1
The ZIP Options Menu appears (figure 3).
Press g
The prompt shown in figure 5 appears.
Press 1
The prompt appears:
Press Drive letter
Press d
Next the prompt:
Type Directory name, press ENTER (do not add \)
Type recycle
Press ENTER
The ZIP Options Menu will reappear (figure 7).
Press a
Then you will see the current directory file list, with the tag files
prompt at the bottom of the list (figure 8).
Move the cursor to the file TRASH.CAN
Press *
Press ENTER
Next you will see the list of ZIP files, if any, in the target directory
D:\RECYCLE, with the prompt for filename at the bottom of the screen
(figure 9).
Type ozone
Press ENTER
The file will be ZIPped and the final prompt will appear:
ZIP file processing complete unZIPing Files
Item 4.
Choosing item 4 at the initial menu (figure 1) prompts you for the new drive
and directory, exactly in the same fashion as explained in Item 2 under the heading
ZIPing Files above. Please review that section for information on how to respond
to ZWiz's prompts.
Item 3.
Choosing item 3 from the initial menu (figure 1) immediately displays the UnZIP

Figure 11. Initial UnZIP Options Menu (w/option to change target directory).
The unZIP options are explained as follows (see PKUNZIP documentation for greater
detail):
d. Create DIRS stored in ZIP: This option is available only on the registered
version. It allows recursive unZIPing; i.e., if the ZIP file stored the complete
path information of the original files, the directories will be recreated upon
extraction.
e. Extract all files from ZIP: Not much commentary necessary. All files are
extracted to the target directory; the original ZIP file remains. If a file already
exists in the target directory, you are prompted to overwrite.
n. Extract only newer: Only files newer than the ones of the same name(s)
already in the target directory will be extracted.
o. Extract and overwrite files: All files in the ZIP are extracted to the
target directory without confirmation for overwriting any existing files of the same
name.
p. Extract to another directory: This is a very important option! This should
be chosen first, if applicable. See Item 1, paragraph g above for details on how
to answer ZWiz's prompts.
q. Retrieve file from ZIP (w/quick file list): Like r below, this is available
only in the registered version of ZWiz. Unlike r, this is for a quick display of
the ZIP files contents. Only one file at a time may be processed. When the file
list displays, the following prompt shows at the bottom of the screen:
Move cursor to line containing file you
wish to retrieve (maximum 1 at a time).
Press ENTER when done
When ENTER is pressed, the selected document will load and the ZWiz operation then
terminates.
r. Retrieve file from ZIP (show comments first): This is the same as q above,
except that the ZIP file's directory is display with file comments in the second
column, if any. This method of retrieval is noticeably slower than q, but is helpful
in identifying potential file deletions.
s. Select files within ZIP (w/quick file list): This displays the contents of
the chosen ZIP file and prompts you to tag the file(s) you wish to extract:
Move Cursor line by line, pressing ENTER
to tag each file (maximum 3 at a time).
Press F1 when done
When F1 is pressed, all tagged files are extracted to the target directory.
w. Select files within ZIP (show comments first): Same as s, but shows file
comments, if any.
t. Test ZIP file integrity: This simply checks the designated ZIP file to
ensure it is not corrupt. If you want to test all or certain ZIP files in the
directory, type an asterisk (*) when prompted for a filename. However, do not use
an asterisk with a ZIP extension (e.g., *.ZIP); this will not work! If, for example,
you wish to view all ZIP starting with the string DOC (e.g., DOC1.ZIP, DOC2.ZIP,
etc.), enter the following at the filename prompt:
DOC*
v. View ZIP file: The contents of the designated ZIP file is displayed.
Unlike option c in ZIP options menu, this does not display file comments, if any.
As in t above, it is possible to use an asterisk to view multiple ZIP files.
After the option is chosen, you are taken to the current file directory for
purposes of designating a ZIP file to perform that option on. As in ZIP operations
discussed above, a prompt will appear at the bottom of the file list, telling you
what to do. Each option will display a different prompt. The details will not be
discussed here, as the unZIP operations are very similar to the ZIP procedures.
The only word of caution to offer here is to remind you of the rules of user
input discussed under Keystroke Rules . . . above.
Shelling to DOS--PKUNZIP
After options and filenames are entered, ZWiz shells to DOS and runs the unZIP
routine. Upon completion, the following prompts are displayed:
UNZIP processing complete
or, in the case of cancellation or error:
Macro execution canceled
That's all there is to it!Shareware versus Registered Version
The registered version of ZWiz contains the following added features:
1. Ability to retrieve a file from within a ZIP into WordPerfect.
2. Ability to store pathnames within ZIP and to recreate the paths upon
extraction.
3. Multiple command line options.
4. Ability to scramble archive files with password protection.
Registration
Basic registration of ZWiz is $15.00 + $2.50 postage and handling. That amount
entitles you to future upgrades of the program for only a nominal handling cost.
On receipt of initial payment, you will be mailed the registered version.
Thereafter, you may receive any upgrade by sending a self-addressed, stamped disk
mailer with floppy disk to the address shown on the order form at the end of this
document. You can determine if a new version has been released by calling the
Express Line BBS--see third paragraph under Introduction above. The Shareware and
Registered versions follow the same numbering scheme--e.g., ZWIZ10.ZIP, ZWIZ11.ZIP
(version 1.0, 1.1, etc.).
I hope you find ZWiz useful, and I thank you in advance for your support.
Future Plans
ZWiz will be expanded or improved as interest dictates. If enough users want
versions compatible with other archive formats, such as PAK, ARC, LZH, ZOO, etc.,
those revisions will be offered.
User input/suggestions are always encouraged and considered.
