Rombrain supports the viewing and reading of any Archive file format,
via a batch file. Before Rombrain shells to the batch file, it will
create a temporary directory on your selected work drive, or the
current drive if no work drive is selected.
Parameters passed to ARCBRAIN.BAT by ROMBRAIN.EXE
-------------------------------------------------------------
%1 = Full Path/Name of the Archive File to process
%2 = Type of Archive: ARC, ZIP, ARJ, LZH, PAK, etc.
%3 = Name of the file to extract or Read from the Archive
%4 = Destination Work Directory and Filename
%5 = View, Read or Transfer Flag (VIEW if viewing directory)
-------------------------------------------------------------
When a user selects the View Archive Command, Rombrain will shell
to a batch file called ARCBRAIN.BAT. This file goes in your BRAINEX\ROMBRAIN
Directory. This batch file must invoke the compression program so that
it creates a listing of the archive. The listing is redirected
to a file called ARCDIR.TXT, which must be placed into the CDWORK
Directory. Rombrain will delete this file after it has shown to the user.
When a user selects the Read from Archive Command, Rombrain will
extract the file specified by the 3rd parameter passed to the batch file.
The file must be extracted into the CDWORK directory. After displaying the
file, Rombrain will delete it.
When a user selects the Transfer from Archive Command, Rombrain
will extract the file specified by the 3rd parameter. The file must
be extracted into the CDWORK directory. After transferring the file,
Rombrain will delete the file.
The CDWORK directory will be removed when a user exits Rombrain.
Under normal circumstances, you should not need to edit ARCBRAIN.BAT
unless you wish to add special parameters or additional compression
programs.
IF YOU GET ARCHIVE ERRORS...
Run Rombrain with the DIAG command, this will prevent Rombrain
from hiding the error messages produced by the various archive
programs. Format: ROMBRAIN DIAG
