The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied. The author will assume no liability for damages either from the direct use of this product or as a consequence of the use of this product. SHEZ is a shell program to make viewing and working with archive files user friendly. It provides the user with a friendly, consistent interface for all supported compressed file operations. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -5- ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS NEEDED You will need, at a minimum, at least one file compression program, and optionally a file browser program. Vern Buerg's LIST program is an excellent, full featured file browser program, and has been thoroughly tested with SHEZ. You will also need one of the file compression programs supported by SHEZ. These include PKZIP, PAK, ARJ, LZH or LHA, PKPAK, ZOO, and SQZ. When installing these required programs, be sure to install them into a directory that is in your path statement. If you are installing the PKZIP package be sure to install the following three programs: PKZIP.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE, and ZIP2EXE.EXE. All of the programs mentioned in this section, with the exception of Central Point Software Virus Scan, can be found on most Bulletin Boards, and on Cserve. They are all available on the Directory Assistance BBS that is mentioned at the end of this document. PKZIP, PKUNZIP by Phil Katz for ZIP files. PKUNPAK, PKPAK by Phil Katz for ARC files. LHARC, LHA by Haruyasu Yoshizaki for LZH files. ZOO by Rahul Dhesi for ZOO files. PAK by NoGate Consulting for PAK files. ARJ by Robert Jung for ARJ files. PKWARE, INC. LIST.COM by Vernon Buerg 7545 N Port Washington Rd. 139 White Oak Circle Glendale, WI. 53217 Petaluma, CA. 94952 (707) 778-8841 - BBS PAK by NoGate Consulting ARJ by Robert Jung P.O. Box 88115 2606 Village Road West Grand Rapids, Mi 49518-0115 Norwood, Mass. 02062 If you want to use the virus scan option of SHEZ you will also need the virus scan program by McAfee Associates called SCAN.EXE. The SCAN program from McAfee Associates has been extensively tested with SHEZ and is highly recommended. This program can be found on most major BBS's or you may obtain it by calling the McAfee BBS. You must obtain version 39 or greater of this program in order for SHEZ to use it correctly. McAfee Associates 4423 Cheeney St. Santa Clara, Ca. 95054 (408) 988-3832 BBS (408) 988-4004 SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -6- The virus scanning program from Central Point Software has also been tested with SHEZ. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -7- QUICK START Installing SHEZ is a very straight forward procedure, simply copy or extract from the compressed file, all the .EXE, .COM, and the SHEZ.HLP files into a directory that is defined in your DOS PATH. Optionally you may create a new directory to hold the SHEZ files. If you choose this option you must either add the new directory name to your DOS PATH, or ALWAYS start SHEZ from the new directory. After installing the files run the SHEZ configuration program. At the DOS prompt type in SHEZCFG and press the enter key. The configuration program is menu driven with full help screen available for each option. THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM MUST BE USED TO CREATE AN EXTERNAL CONFIGURATION FILE. SHEZ WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT A CONFIGURATION FILE!!!!! To start-up SHEZ simply enter "SHEZ [d:\path\filespec]". You may specify wild cards in the filespec. If you use wild cards in the filespec SHEZ will present you with a scrollable list of files that it found matching the filespec. SHEZ recognizes the special filename.fileext of $.$. If you specify a filespec of $.$ SHEZ will list only the files having an extension of .ARC, .ZIP, .LZH, .ARJ, .ZOO, and .SQZ or the files having extension matching the extensions that where set using the configuration program. SHEZ will also recognize just the $ file extension along with a DOS wildcard filename. For example if you start SHEZ by entering SHEZ C:\UTY\P*.$ SHEZ will display a list of files that have a filename beginning with the letter P and that have a file extension of .ARC,.ZIP,.LZH,.ZOO,.PAK,.ARJ.SQZ, or what ever you set the extensions to using the config. program. You may also start SHEZ and specify a sub-directory name of the directory you are currently in. For example, if you are currently in the C:\UTILITY directory and you want to work on the files in the C:\UTILITY\PGMS directory start SHEZ by entering the following: SHEZ PGMS\ Also included in the file list will be any directories that SHEZ found. The directory names will be enclosed in greater than and less than symbols. I.E. <DIR1>. You can position the highlight bar on a directory name and press the enter key to view the files and directories that are contained in that directory. To move up one level in the directory tree highlight the directory entry that appears as <..>. As you change directories the full disk:\pathname will be displayed on the main screen. In addition the disk:\path that will receive extracted files is also displayed on the main screen. You can than choose the file you wish to work on by moving the highlight bar with the cursor keys and pressing the enter key. SHEZ will then present you with a screen showing the contents of the archive file. To perform a function, simply position the highlight bar and press the key(s) that corresponds to the function you want to perform on that SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -8- member. Pressing the F1 key will open a window giving you context sensitive help. SHEZ also has a built-in menuing system. To activate the menu system press the forward slash key. A menu bar will appear at the top of the screen. Using the left and right cursor keys you may select major menu item. Press the enter key to view the choices under the menu item. Using the up and down cursor keys you may choose an action item and then press the enter key to perform that item. Pressing the ESC key will take you back one level. Keep pressing the ESC key to exit the menu system. There are two functions that can only be activated via the menuing system. Printing a file contained in an archive file, and setting the default compressing factor. There are no hot keys associated with these functions. SHEZ will optionally swap 90% of its code out of memory when you: 1) Shell to DOS 2) Execute the edit function. 3) Run a program contained in a compressed file. This allows you to run most programs from within SHEZ without running out of memory. The default for SHEZ is not to use this swapping function. However this can be changed via the configuration program. The swapping function will swap as much of SHEZ as possible out of DOS memory and into either EMS (3.2 or 4.0), XMS memory, if available, or to the currently active default disk. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE RUNNING A SYSTEM WITHOUT A HARD DISK OR WITHOUT EMS or XMS MEMORY DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS OPTION. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -9- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS The command line format when starting SHEZ is as follows: SHEZ [filespec] [/Exxx] [/PLAY=xxx] [/LCD] [/Cfilespec] [/4] Please note all command line options are optional. You may enter a filespec pattern for SHEZ to use when searching for a file. All legal DOS wild card specifies are allowed, as are Drive and Directory information. In addition relative pathnames may also be entered on the command line. For example: SHEZ C:\UTY\*.ZIP This will startup SHEZ and will only list the files on the C: drive in the UTY directory that have a file extension of .ZIP. SHEZ ..\DATA\*.* This will startup SHEZ and will list the files one directory back from the \DATA directory. The /E parameter tells SHEZ to set its default extract location to the Drive and directory specified immediately following the /E parameter. DO NOT ENTER A SPACE AFTER THE /E parameter. I.E. /EC:\WORK This specifies an extract location of the E: drive and the WORK directory. If you start SHEZ with this parameter it will over-ride all other default extract location. Once SHEZ is started you may alter the extract location by using the ALT-P command. The /LCD parameter tells SHEZ you are running SHEZ on an LCD display monitor. SHEZ will adjust its screen color set to make the display more readable on LCD displays. The /PLAY= parameter tells SHEZ to load the previously saved macro file and playback the recorded keystrokes immediately upon startup. If the macro file does not exist, SHEZ will ignore the request. Example: SHEZ C:\UTY\*.ZIP /PLAY=C:\DATA\MY.MAC This will start SHEZ looking in the C:\UTY directory for all files with an extension of .ZIP and will playback the recorded keystrokes contained in the file C:\DATA\MY.MAC. For more information on keystroke recording and playback see the section KEYSTROKE RECORDING/PLAYBACK FACILITY on page 44 later in this document. The /C parameter allows you to specify the location of the SHEZ configuration file on the command line. The filespec immediately SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -10- following the /c will be used as the configuration file. This will over-ride the SHEZCFG environment variable if it has been specified. The /4 parameter allows you to activate the 4DOS description display via the command line. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -11- MOUSE SUPPORT Shez offers full mouse support in any of it's supported screen modes. When mouse support is active a mouse action bar will appear on the last line of the display. LEFT-MOUSE-BUTTON Pressing or releasing the left mouse button on one of the action items will perform the action as described below. If there is a Yes under the REPEATABLE column, this indicates that the action will repeat as long as the left mouse button is held down. All the actions shown on the action bar are active anywhere within SHEZ. ACTION-ITEM ACTION WHEN REPEATABLE?

RIGHT-MOUSE-BUTTON Pressing and releasing the RIGHT mouse button is the same as pressing the ESC key. ACTIVATING THE MENU SYSTEM To activate the normal menu system in SHEZ, move the mouse cursor to the top line of the display and press and release the LEFT mouse button. The normal menu bar will appear after releasing SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -12- the button. The mouse cursor may now be positioned over any of the menu items, and pressing and releasing the LEFT mouse button will cause the selectable menu box to appear. When a drop down menu box appears you may then position the mouse cursor on a menu item. Pressing and releasing the LEFT mouse button ONCE will cause the menu item to be highlighted. Pressing and releasing the LEFT mouse button on a HIGHLIGHTED item will cause the indicated item to be executed. ZOOMING DIRECTORY WINDOW WITH MOUSE The DOS directory window can be zoomed to full screen width and unzoomed to normal mode. The ZOOM/UNZOOM the window using the mouse, position the mouse cursor to the [■] located at the bottown right position of the windows and press and release the left mouse button. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -13- NAVIGATING A SCROLLABLE DIALOGUE BOX USING THE MOUSE When a scrollable dialogue box appears the mouse cursor can be positioned on the scroll bars, or within the dialogue box to perform the following actions: 1) Scroll the box up and down. 2) Scroll the box right and left. 3) Move the highlight bar to an item. 4) Tag an individual item. The sample screen display below shows the areas of a scrollable dialogue box where the LEFT mouse button performs an action. ╒E══E:\APPS\TC\ZIP\$.$════════════════╕ │ <..> <----Scroll-UP │ SHEZ EXE 05/10/93 09:53 237264▒<-+ │ SHEZCFG EXE 05/10/93 08:42 59230▒ | │ SHEZ89D ZIP 03/13/93 22:41 84419▒ | │ SHEZ89S ZIP 04/26/93 07:44 260032▒ +--Page-UP-area │ SHEZ90S ZIP 04/26/93 07:44 261740▒ | │ SHEZ91S ZIP 05/10/93 10:07 291251▒ | │ SHEZCD2 ZIP 02/19/93 07:10 199738▒ | │ V V▒<-+ │ | |█<----Position-indicator │ |----------------------------------|▒<-+ │ +-------------------------+--------+▒ | │ | ▒ +--Page-Down-area │ | ▒ | │ | ▒ | │ | ▒ | │ | ▒<-+ │ | <----Scroll-Down ╘══════════════════════ | ════════╛ VV | || | ++---Mouse-Tag-area +Mouse-position-highlight-bar-area To move the highlight bar to an item, position the mouse cursor on the item and press and release the LEFT mouse button.

To perform one of the item position the mouse cursor on the item to be performed and press and release the LEFT mouse button TWICE. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -17- USING THE MOUSE WITH VERN BUERG'S LIST PROGRAM. I have had numerous questions on how to allow the mouse to function when viewing a file via Vern's list program. In order to allow the mouse to function within list you must "CLONE" the mouse option into the list program. You must be using LIST PLUS version 7.2 in order to use the mouse. To clone the mouse option change to the directory that contains the LIST.COM program, then start the LIST program from the DOS prompt and include the mouse command line option /M. I.E. LIST /M. When the first screen appears press ALT-C to modify LIST.COM to always startup with the mouse option. If you need further information on cloning the list program please see the documentation included with LIST. INTERNAL QUICK-VIEWER Shez also contains it's own internal file browser called QUICKVIEW. QUICKVIEW has full mouse support and will allow you to view any size file using a minimum of memory. While it is not substitute for a full featured browsing program such as Vern Buerg's LIST program, it is very fast and allows you to view any file in ASCII or HEX modes. If you don't have an external browsing program QUICKVIEW will allow you to use SHEZ as it was intended. EDITING KEY DEFINITIONS When you are prompted to enter information the following editing keys can be used: Home: Go to beginning of input line. End: Go to end of input line. Backspace: Go back one character and delete. CTL-END: Erase to end of line. Cursor Right: Move right one character. Cursor Left: Move left one character. ESC: Cancel input. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -18- FUNCTION SUPPORTED WHEN A DOS DIRECTORY WINDOW IS DISPLAYED DOS directory Speed Search When the DOS directory window is displayed you may quickly position the highlight bar to a directory or file by pressing a single letter or number. Pressing an UPPER CASE A-Z or 0-9 will be position you to the first directory that begins with the pressed letter or number. Pressing the same letter or number again will position the highlight bar to the next matching entry. If no entry begins with the entered letter or number the highlight bar will not be moved. Pressing an lower case a-z or 0-9 will be position you to the FILES that begins with the pressed letter or number. Extract location - ALT-P This option will prompt you to enter a drive and directory of where to place files that you extract from the archive. This location will remain in effect until you enter the ALT-P command again and clear the drive and directory or you change to another archive file. This command is used when you want to place extracted files in a location other than the current drive and directory. If you specify a directory that does not exist a ERROR/INFORMATION window will appear indicating that the directory does not exist. You may press the F10 key to create the directory. This command may be issued at any time. When the input window appears pressing the F9 key will open another window which will display a scrollable list of directories. To display a list of directories other than on the current drive, enter the drive letter followed by a colon, then press the F9 key. Scroll the list using the up and down cursor keys, and press the ENTER key to select the directory you wish to extract files into. Create a new archive file - F7 This option allows you to create a new compressed file. For further information see the section titled, CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES on page 47. Show help screen - F1 This will display a help screen showing all currently supported commands. Any command can be entered while the help screen is displayed. Temporary exit to DOS - F10 This will temporarily clear the screen and exit to DOS. You can then execute and command you want. To return to SHEZ type in EXIT at the DOS prompt and press return. (Not available when running under DESQVIEW) SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -19- Temporary exit to DOS into Extract Directory - ALT-F10 This will temporarily clear the screen and exit to DOS into the currently defined extract directory. You can then execute and command you want. To return to SHEZ type in EXIT at the DOS prompt and press return. (Not available when running under DESQVIEW) Select a new archive file - F2 This option will prompt you to enter a new disk, directory, and filespec to find another archive file to work with. If you enter a filespec of $.$ SHEZ will only list directory entries and file that have extensions of .ARC, .ZIP, .LZH, PAK, ARJ, ZOO, and SQZ. When the input window appears pressing the F9 key will open another window which will display a scrollable list of directories. To display a list of directories other than on the current drive, enter the drive letter followed by a colon, then press the F9 key. Scroll the list using the up and down cursor keys, and press the ENTER key to select the directory you wish to change to. View a file - F3 This option will allow you to view any file that is listed in the main file window. Simply highlight the file you wish to view by using the cursor keys then press the F3 key. The list program will be invoked allowing you to view the contents of the file. (ALSO SEE CTL-ENTER FOR ALTERNATE FILE VIEWERS) Delete a DOS file or empty directory - F4 This option allows you to delete the file that is currently highlighted in the file window. Please note will be asked if you want to delete the file. Respond Y if you wish to delete the file, anything else will abort the delete. The deleted file name will not be removed from the displayed list. Instead it will be flagged with an # to the left of the filename and a 'd' to the right. If the highlighted entry is a directory, SHEZ will remove the directory only if there are no files or sub-directories under this directory. Sort the file list - F9 This option will sort the file list that appears on the left side of the screen. You will be asked if you want the list sorted by filename, file extension, file date, file size, or unsorted. When sorting by filename any directory found will also be sorted. When sorting by extension, date, or size the directories will be sorted at the top of the list. When sorting by date the file time is also included in the sort. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -20- Convert highlighted file - ALT-V This option will convert the highlighted file to another archive method. A list will appear showing the available compression alternatives that SHEZ has been configured for. Using the mouse or cursor keys highlight the compression method you wish to convert to, then press the enter key. You may also press the ESC key to cancel the conversion process. The converted file will be placed into the same directory as the original file, and the original file will remain intact. When a compressed file also has directory information stored along with the filenames, and the file is being converted to a compression method that supports pathnames, SHEZ will retain the directory information. In addition, if the compressed files being converted has volume label information stored, SHEZ will attempt to retain the volume label information. (PLEASE NOTE: THE VOLUME LABEL PROCESSING WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE CONVERTING FROM A ZIP OR ARJ FILE FORMAT TO A ZIP OR ARJ FILE FORMAT. ALSO THE VOLUME LABEL PROCESSING WILL NOT FUNCTION WHEN RUNNING SHEZ IN THE DOS BOX UNDER OS/2.) Convert all tagged files - CTL-V This option will convert all tagged files to another archive method. A list will appear showing the available compression alternatives that SHEZ has been configured for. Using the mouse or cursor keys highlight the compression method you wish to convert to, then press the enter key. You may also press the ESC key to cancel the conversion process. The converted file will be placed into the same directory as the original file, and the original file will remain intact. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -21- Convert highlighted file to a SFX file - F8 This option will convert the highlighted compressed file into a Self extracting file. (Currently only files in the ZIP,LZH, and PAK formats may be converted) If you are converting a ZIP file that was created using version 1.1 of PKZIP, SHEZ will first attempt to create a MINI Self extracting file. If that fails than a normal Self extracting file will be created. See the PKZIP documentation for more on MINI self extracting files. NOTES ON CREATING SFX FILES To convert a ZIP file to self extracting file the program, ZIP2EXE.EXE, must be in the current directory or in a directory that is defined in your PATH. When a PAK file is converted the PAK file is replaced by the self extracting file. For example: If tell SHEZ to convert a file named TEST.PAK in the directory C:\TEST the TEST.PAK file will be deleted from the C:\TEST directory and will be replaced by the file TEST.EXE. This is not a function of SHEZ it is a function of the PAK compression program. When an LZH file is converted to a self extracting file the LHARC program will created either a .COM file or a .EXE file, depending on the size of the LZH file. Convert Tagged files to SFX files - SFT-F8 This option will convert all tagged compressed files into Self extracting files. See the F8 option above for additional information on creating SFX files. Write out configuration information - ALT-W This option will write out a file named SHEZ.CFG. This file will contain the current SHEZ configuration options. This file can then be used as your default configuration file. This file should be copied to a directory that is named in your path statement. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -22- Copy highlighted file CTL-F2 This option allows you to copy the highlighted file. When prompted for the location to copy to you may enter the target directory name along with an optional filename and extension. If the filename and extension are not supplied SHEZ will use the original filename and extension. You may also use the * wildcard character for either the filename and/or the extension. If you use the * character SHEZ will use the original filename and/or extension when copying the file. I.E. From: = C:\UTILITY\ANY.ZIP To: = C:\WORK\NEW.* This will create a file named NEW.ZIP in the \WORK directory. The new file will have the original file's time and date stamp. Move highlighted file CTL-F3 This option allows you to move the highlighted file. When prompted for the location to move to you may enter the target directory name along with an optional filename and extension.

Set ARJ Compression Method This option is the same as described above except it sets the compression method for ARJ type files. Virus scan ALL files Selecting this option will instruct SHEZ to test all files contained in compressed files for Viruses. This will remain in effect until you reset the option, or exit SHEZ. Virus scan ONLY EXECUTABLE files. Selecting this option will instruct SHEZ to test only executable files contained in compressed files for Viruses. Set Paging option for DOS and EDIT Selecting this option allows you to activate or de-activate the paging option when shelling to DOS, running an external program, or running an external Editor. Set Paging option for External Viewers Selecting this option allow you to activate or de-activate the paging option when running an external viewer program. When the compressed file contents screen is displayed, the same set of commands are only accessible via the menu system. To access these commands press the / key, and move to the Other menu item using the RIGHT CURSOR key, then press the ENTER key. A list of selectable items will appear, the items listed above will be included in this list. There is another set of option that is accessible only via the menu system when the compressed file contents screen is displayed. This option all appear under the main PRINT menu option. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -41- PRINT DIRECTORY OF COMPRESSED FILES Selecting the "Print directory of compressed file" allows you to print a formatted listing of the contents of the compressed file. If this item is selected a drop down dialog box will appear allowing you to print to LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3. Also under the CONVERT menu option the following menu item will appear: CONVERT TO ANOTHER FORMAT This option allows you to convert the compressed file you are currently viewing to a different type of compressed file. Macro Help This selection instructs you to press the F1 key to obtain help on the macro recording/playback hot keys. Set macro playback speed Selecting this option will cause a selection box to appear allowing you to change the macro playback speed. The available options are SLOW, MEDIUM, and FAST. The default value is FAST. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -42- VOLUME LABEL SUPPORT Shez now supports adding and extracting volume label information to/form compressed files. Volume label processing is only supported for ZIP and ARJ type compressed files. ADDING VOLUME LABELS WHEN CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES: When creating a new ZIP or ARJ file via the F7 key, you will be asked if you wish to store volume label information. If you respond Y, you will then be asked to enter the Drive Letter of the drive to obtain the volume label information from. Enter the drive letter (A-Z). Please note: these prompts will only appear if you are creating a ZIP or ARJ compressed file. ADDING VOLUME LABELS TO AN EXISTING ZIP OR ARJ FILE: To add volume label information to a pre-existing ZIP or ARJ file, first open the compressed file by moving the highlight bar to the appropriate file. Then press the enter key. This will open the compressed file. Then press the $ key (SHIFT 4). You will be asked to enter the drive letter to obtain the volume label information from. Enter the drive letter (A-Z). The volume label from the specified drive, if any exists, will be added to the compressed file. EXTRACTING VOLUME LABEL INFORMATION: To extract volume label information from an existing compressed file, press the ALT-4 key to turn on automatic volume label processing. When automatic volume label processing is active a $ will appear next to the NAME field heading in the compressed file listing, or will appear in the upper left corner of the DOS directory display window. After activating automatic label processing, open the appropriate compressed file as documented above. Set the extract location using the ALT-P (extract path) command. Then extract any or all files from the compressed file. During the extraction process the volume label contained in the compressed file will be used to update the volume label information on the extract drive. PLEASE NOTE: ONCE YOU TURN AUTOMATIC VOLUME LABEL PROCESSING ON, IT WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL YOU TURN IT OFF BY USING THE ALT-4 KEY AGAIN. PLEASE USE THIS OPTION WITH CARE. FLOATING EXTRACT LOCATION SHEZ now supports a concept called the floating extract location. The feature was added due to numerous user requests, and is an option feature which is activated via the SHEZCFG program. Normally when SHEZ is executed SHEZ sets the file extract location to the current disk and directory. When you change to a different disk and/or directory the extract location remains constant, pointing to the disk SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -43- and directory where SHEZ was started from. To change the extract location you needed to use the ALT-P command (change extract location). The floating extract location basically allows the extract location to float as you change to a new disk and/or directory. The extract location will float to what ever disk and directory you are currently looking at. You can still dynamically specify an extract location by using the ALT-P command, but when the ALT-P command is issued the floating extract option will be de-activated from that point on. You can reactivate the floating extract location logic by pressing the ALT-P keys and entering a single asterick at the prompt. To activate the floating extract location option, use the SHEZCFG program and choose the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu item. When the SHEZCFG program prompt you for a default extract location, enter a single asterisk. The single asterisk tells SHEZ to activate its floating extract logic. Ultravision Support SHEZ is Ultravision "aware". SHEZ will operate in an Ultravision screen mode as long at the number of columns equals 80, and the number of rows are between 25-50. If SHEZ determines that Ultravision is installed, and it active in an non-supported screen mode, SHEZ will deactivate Ultravision, and then will set the screen mode to one of the supported modes. When SHEZ is exited, it will re-activate Ultravision and put the screen mode back into the Ultravision mode is was in before SHEZ was started. FORMATTING FLOPPIES SHEZ has the ability to format a floppy disk in either the A: or B: drives. The following disk capacities are supported: 5 1/4 drives: 360KB and 1.2OK, 3 1/2 drives: 720KB and 1.44KB. To format a disk press the ALT-O keys and a dialogue box will appear. Enter the drive letter you wish to format, the capacity to format, and if you wish each track verified during the format process. The verify process will increase the time it takes to format a disk. If you are using high quality disks you can opt to not verify to speed up the format process. After the disk is formatted you will have the option of adding a volume label to the disk. If no volume label is wanted simply press the ENTER key without entering any information. If your PC is an "XT" class machine, the format dialog box will ask you the type of disk drive you are formatting in. Enter the code that corresponds to the type of floppy drive you have installed. Formatting error codes can be found in the Apendix of this manual. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -44- KEYSTROKE RECORDING/PLAYBACK FACILITY Shez now has the built in ability to record, playback, load, and save key stokes. All of the keystroke recording abilities must be activated from the keyboard. They can not be activated via the mouse or the pull-down menus. A menu item for MACROS do appear on the menu bar, but it is only used to access the help panel for keystroke recording. If you are using a mouse the functions performed by the mouse WILL NOT BE RECORDED. Only keystrokes entered directly from the keyboard will be recorded. During keystroke recording, the ALT-Q (QUIT SHEZ) key will be recorded, but will not be acted upon. This will allow the user to record and save the ALT-Q key into the playback macro. The keyboard HOT-KEYS and there functions are explained below: ALT-5 Macro record/playback PAUSE The ALT-5 key is used to PAUSE the record/playback macro function to allow the user to respond to a dialogue box prompt. When recording a macro and a dialogue box opens, press the ALT-5 key, then enter the response to the dialogue box. The macro recording will resume as soon as the user presses the ESC, ENTER, or Function keys. When playing back a macro that has been recorded using the PAUSE feature, the macro will PAUSE at the same location where the ALT- 5 key was originally pressed, allowing the user to enter data into a dialogue box prompt. For example: If you were recording a macro to search for a string of characters in a group of files and you wanted to input a different search string each time you executed the macro, you would: 1) Start the macro recording by pressing the ALT-6 key. 2) Open up the compressed file you wish to search. 3) Tag the files you what to scan through. 4) Press the ALT-G key to pop-up the search data entry box, as shown below: +-------------------------[D:\TC\ZIP\SHEZ65S.ZIP]--------------+ |NAME SIZE DATE TIME LENGTH METHOD PATH | |--------------------------------------------------------------| |DOSWDW ASM 2875 01/25/90 11:26 7677 IMPLOD | |MAKE286 BAT 80 06/25/91 14:25 100 SHRUNK | |MAKEALL BAT 80 10/03/91 10:25 89 SHRUNK | |MA+----[ENTER STRING TO SEARCH FOR:(NO DOUBLE QUOTES CHARS AL+| |MA|==> || |MA+-----------------[PRESS ENTER TO SAVE, ESC to cancel]-----+| |MAKESHEZ BAT 75 10/17/91 07:29 90 SHRUNK | |MSHEZD BAT 38 03/16/91 14:09 38 STORED | SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -45- |SHEZ H 1466 11/22/91 07:39 4839 IMPLOD | +=Add B=Brows F=Fresh U=Update M=Move E=Xlist X=Xall P=Xpath QS+ 5) Press the ALT-5 key to PAUSE the macro facility. 6) Enter your search string and press the ENTER key. 7) After the search is done press the ALT-6 key again to stop macro recording. 8) Press the ALT-9 key to save your macro. Now when you playback the macro, when the search data entry box appears the macro will pause allowing you to alter the search string before processing the rest of the recorded macro. When the macro facility is in PAUSE mode, the ESC key, ENTER key, or any FUNCTION key will resume the execution of the macro. ALT-6 Start/Stop recording keystrokes. Pressing the ALT-6 keys will toggle the keyboard recording mode. When SHEZ is recording keystrokes the speaker will blip after every keystroke is pressed. Pressing ALT-6 again will stop the keystrokes from being recorded. Up to 500 keystrokes may be recorded. ALT-7 Immediately play back the recorded keystrokes. Pressing the ALT-7 key will immediately playback your recorded keystrokes. CTL-Q Cancel recording/playback and flush the keystroke record buffer. Press the CTL-Q key either during a recording session, or during a playback, will cancel the record/playback, and will clear the keystroke buffer. ALT-9 Save recorded keystrokes. Pressing the ALT-9 key will pop-up a window allowing the user to save the recorded keystrokes into a file for use at a later time. You must stop recording by pressing the ALT-6 key before doing a save. This key will also reset the record/playback function and clear the keystroke buffer. ALT-8 Load and Execute a saved keystroke file. Pressing the ALT-8 key will pop-up a window allowing the user to enter the name of a previously saved keystroke file. After the file is loaded it will immediately be run. SHEZ will also allow the user to load and execute a save keystroke file at startup time. The command line parameter /play={filespec} SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -46- tells SHEZ to load the indicated filespec and playback the recorded keystrokes. PLEASE NOTE: SHEZ DOES NOT VERIFY THAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS FILE ARE ACTUALLY RECORDED KEYSTROKES. SO BE CAREFUL WHEN SPECIFYING THE FILESPEC!! Examples: SHEZ D:\DOWN\*.ZIP /PLAY=D:\AUTOSHEZ.MAC Start SHEZ and display all the .ZIP files in the D:\DOWN directory, and load and execute the recorded keystrokes contained in the D:\AUTOSHEZ.MAC file. SHEZ D:\SOURCE\CODE.ZIP /PLAY=D:\REFRESH.MAC Start SHEZ and open the CODE.ZIP file contained in the D:\SOURCE directory, and load and execute the recorded keystrokes contained in the D:\REFRESH.MAC file. The playback speed may also be sent to SLOW, MEDIUM, or FAST by using the mAcro drop down menu item and selecting the playback speed selection. The playback speed default is set to FAST. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -47- ^Sc CREATING NEW COMPRESSED FILES SHEZ allows you to create new compressed files either from the directory display window, using the F7 key, or from the compressed file display window using the 'C' command. A window will appear asking you to enter the drive, directory, of where to place the new file. You may press the F9 key to view the directory structure in a tree format. After selecting the location of the new file another aditios will appear asking you to specify the name of the compressed file to be created. YOU MUST ENTER A FILE EXTENSION OF .ZIP,.ARC,.LZH,.ZOO,ARJ,SQZ,or .PAK SO SHEZ KNOWS WHAT TYPE OF COMPRESSED FILE TO CREATE!!!!! Then you will asked if you want to add or move files into the new archive file. You will also be asked to enter an optional password. (If you enter a password all files added or moved to the archive file will be encrypted using the password. Do not forget the password you can not extract files from the file without the password and there is no way to determine the password if you forget it.) Please note the password prompt will only appear if the compression program used to create the new file support encryption. A window will then be opened that will ask you to enter the filespecs of the files you wish to add or move into the new archive file. This filespec can include a disk, directory, and file specifications with wild cards. A third window will be opened allowing you to specify processing options. The first option "Do you want to Tag files or Process as is" allows you to tell SHEZ that you want to Tag files for processing using the filespecs entered in the second window, or to simply pass the entered filespecs to the compression program exactly as entered. The second option "Do you want to save directory information" allows you to tell SHEZ that you want directory information saved in the compressed file. The third option "Do you want to recurse directories" will tell the compression program to add/move all files in the directory you specified plus all directories that exist beneath it. A forth option will appear, "Store volume label into Compressed file? (Y or N)->". This option will allow you to optionally store volume label information into the compressed file. The default is not to store label information. Respond Y if you wish to store the volume label information. If you respond Y a fifth option will appear, "Enter drive letter of Volume label to Save". When this prompt appears enter the letter of the drive you wish to obtain the volume label information from. If you are creating an ARJ file, you will also be asked if you wish to activate the multi-volume option of ARJ. This option allows you to create a compressed file that will span multiple floppy disks. Thus you can create a "backup" compressed file of an entire hard drive, or very large directory. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -48- If you indicated that you wanted to Tag files for processing a window will pop-up on the left side of the screen showing all files that matched the filespec you entered. Tag the files you wish to add or move to the new compressed file by pressing the space bar. When you are done tagging file press the return key and all tagged files will be added or moved into the new archive file. Please note that some of these options may not appear when you create a compressed file. If the compression program you are using does not support saving directory information the directory information prompts will not appear. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -49- CONVERTING FILES Shez has the ability to convert one, or a group of tagged files, from one format to another. First you must get the file or files you want to convert to appear in the filelist window on the left side of the screen. The easiest way to do this is to start up SHEZ and specify on the command line either *.*, *.ZIP, or *.ARC. Then using the cursor keys highlight the file you want to convert and then press the ALT-V key to convert the file. You will then be asked, via a menu, what archive format you want to convert to. Position the highlight bar to the type of compressed file you wish to convert to and press the enter key. You will also be asked if you want to delete the original file after the conversion has been successfully completed. Respond Y or N. The new file will be placed on the same disk and directory that the original file was on. During the conversion process, SHEZ will convert any nested compressed files that is can identify. NOTE: nested compressed files that have been stored with path names will not be converted. Self extracting compressed files also will not be converted. SHEZ can only process compressed nested files that are one level deep. Any nested compressed files that are nested more than one level deep will remain un-touched. To convert numerous files start up SHEZ as above and use the cursor keys to highlight the files you want to convert, then press the space bar to TAG these files. After all files have been tagged press CTL-V to convert all TAGGED files. SHEZ will allow you to easily convert your old ZIP files into the new ZIP imploded format. Simply tag the ZIP files you want to convert and specify that you want to convert them to ZIP files. You will be asked if you want to delete the old compressed files after the conversion process. SHEZ is smart enough not to delete the old compressed file if the have the same file extension as the new files. I.E. when you convert a ZIP file to a ZIP file to take advantage of the new compression format SHEZ will not delete the converted ZIP files even if you told it to delete the old compressed files after converting them. After SHEZ converts a compressed file it will test the converted file for correctness. If the converted file fails this test the converted file will be deleted and the orginial compressed file will remain intact. SHEZ will also allow you to convert old LZH files to the new LHA 2.05 format using the same method of converting a file to itself. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -50- SUPPORT FOR SELF EXTRACTING FILES SHEZ also lets you view the contents of self extracting files. Files that have been created by the following compression programs are supported: PKARC, PKPAK, PKZIP version .92 thru 2.04, LHARC version 1.12 thru 2.05, PAK version 1.6 thru 2.01, ARC5 and ARC6, ARJ version 2.10, LHA 2.12, SQZ 1.082 1.083. When you display the contents of a self extracting file SHEZ will attempt to identify which compression program was used to generate the self extracting file. SHEZ will place the name of the compression program it has identified as the creator, on the heading line right next to the column titled NAME. In addition to viewing the contents of a self extracting file you may also extract individual files using SHEZ's extract command. You may also convert the self extracting file back to a normal compressed file using the CTL-V command, or using the pull down menus. You can not alter the contents of a self extracting file. I.E. add, update, freshen, move, etc. The exception to this are self extracting files built by PKZIP. These files you can treat like normal compressed files. You can add, update, move, delete, freshen, etc. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -51- ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES SHEZ will recognize the following environment variables if they are set: BIOS This will force SHEZ to use BIOS for writing to the screen. MONO This will force SHEZ to run in monochrome mode. SHEZEX You can set this variable to the disk and path where you want SHEZ to write extracted file to. You can reset this default at any time by using the ALT-P command. SHEZWORK This variable may be used to specify a working directory for SHEZ to use instead of SHEZ building one of its own. This directory must be for the exclusive of SHEZ, and must exist prior to invoking SHEZ. WHEN SHEZ TERMINATES ALL FILES IN THE DIRECTORY WILL BE DELETED, INCLUDING HIDDEN AND SYSTEM FILES, BUT THE DIRECTORY WILL NOT BE DELETED. This option was added to allow more flexibility when running SHEZ on a LAN based system. SHEZCMT This variable may be set to specify a default comment file when adding/updating compressed file comment records to a group of tagged files. SHEZCFG This variable points to your SHEZ.CFG file. It is used to carry forward, the SHEZ configuration options. SHEZLOG This variable defines the LOG file that SHEZ will write to when performing a virus check on tagged files from the DOS directory window. If the file does not exist it will be created. If the fill already exists new information will be appended to the existing file. SHEZXMS This variable de-activates SHEZ's use of XMS memory. It will over-ride the EMS/XMS usage parameters that were set via the SHEZCFG program. Set this variable to any value to de-active XMS memory usage. Example: SHEZXMS=N Don't use XMS memory. SHEZEMS This variable de-activates SHEZ's use of EMS memory. It will over-ride the EMS/XMS usage parameters that were set via the SHEZCFG program. Set this variable to any value to de-active EMS memory usage. Example: SHEZEMS=N Don't use EMS memory. SHEZUSE Using this variable you can over-ride the EMS/XMS memory usage configuration that was setup via the SHEZCFG program. Set this variable to the type of memory you wish SHEZ to use. I.E. E for EMS memory, and/or X for XMS memory. Examples: SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -52- SHEZUSE=EX Try EMS first then XMS SHEZUSE=XE Try XMS first then EMS SHEZUSE=E Only try EMS memory SHEZUSE=X Only try XMS memroy SHEZUSE=NN Don't use XMS or EMS memory. Examples: SET BIOS=Y SET MONO=Y SET SHEZEX=D:\WORK SET SHEZWORK=C:\SHEZXX\ SET SHEZCMT=C:\COMMENT.DAT SET SHEZCFG=C:\DATA\SHEZ.CFG SET SHEZLOG=C:\LOG\SHEZ.LOG (This tells SHEZ to write extracted files onto the D disk in the \work directory. You can change this at any time after executing SHEZ by using the ALT-P command.) The environment variables BIOS and MONO will override the BIOS and MONO parameters that were entered via the configuration program. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -53- SETTING ALTERNATE FILE VIEWERS Shez has the capability to activate user specified alternate file viewers when the CTL-ENTER key is pressed. The alternate file viewers are specified in an external file named SHEZ.INI. This file is a plain ASCII text file that indicates to SHEZ what program should be run as the alternate viewer, based on the highlighted file's extension, when a user pressing the CNTL-ENTER key. The external file, SHEZ.INI, MUST be located in the current directory, or in a directory that is specified in your path statement. SEE APPENDIX 2 FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE ENTRIES ALLOWABLE IN THE SHEZ.INI FILE. SETTING USER DEFINED PRINTER The SHEZ.INI file also allows you to define up to three user defined printers. Included with each printer definition is it's name as it will appear on the menu, a required setup string, an optional endup string, the number of character per line to print, and the number of lines per page to print. The format of the required entries in the SHEZ.INI file is shown in APPENDIX 2. SETTING UP USED DEFINED MENU ENTRIES The SHEZ.INI file also allows user defined menu items to be defined. Up to ten user defined programs and/or batch files can be specified and they will appear on the uSer menu option when selected. See APPENDIX 2 for the format of the entries required in the SHEZ.INI file. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -54- Any number of specific file viewers may be specified. When CTL-ENTER is pressed, SHEZ first looks to see of a specific alternate file viewer has been defined for viewing files with a file extension the same of the highlighted file. If one was defined it is activated and used. If a specific viewer has not been defined SHEZ then determines if a "generic" alternate file viewer has been defined. If it has SHEZ uses the "generic" viewer. If no alternate viewer has been defined SHEZ than defaults to using the normal viewer as defined when the SHEZCFG program was used to configure SHEZ. PLEASE NOTE: WHEN SHEZ ACTIVATES ANY ALTERNATE FILE VIEWER IT ALWAYS USES ITS PAGING LOGIC TO SWAP MOST OF ITS CODE OUT OF MEMORY TO GIVE MORE ROOM TO THE ALTERNATE FILE VIEWER. THIS IS NOT A CONFIGURABLE OPTION SO BE FOREWARNED!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFORMING A VIRUS SCAN SHEZ can scan for viruses in files that are contained in compressed files. It can also scan for viruses in files that are contained in embedded compressed files. SHEZ can check an unlimited number of embedded compressed files, only limited by the amount of available disk space assigned to the SHEZ work disk. When performing a virus scan SHEZ will also check for self extracting compressed files and will also check any files contained with the SFX files. The first step performed during a virus check is to test the integrity of the compressed file. If the integrity of the compressed file is compromised, all other action on the compressed file will be bypassed, and an error message will be issued. There are two way to perform a virus scan. One is activated from the DOS directory window, and the other is invoked after opening up a compressed file. To perform a virus scan from the DOS directory window, tag the files you wish to check for viruses then press the ALT-Z or CTL-Z keys. This will initiate the scanning process on all tagged files. When virus checking files from the main DOS directory window, SHEZ will create a virus check log file if the environment variable SHEZLOG is defined. For more information on this variable set the section entitled ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE on page 51. The log file will be created if is does not exists, or will be appended to if it already exists. The file will contain a listing of all the compressed files that are being checked, plus a list of all files within the compressed files that will be checked. If a self extracting file is encountered, the log file will post an entry to the log file identifying the SFX file, and what type SFX it is. Each time the log file is opened a time and date stamp line will be written into the file before any scanning occurs. The log file is NOT updated when doing a virus scan SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -55- from within an opened compressed file, it is only updated/created when doing a scan from the DOS directory window. BBS SYSOP NOTE: When performing a bulk virus scan on a group of tagged files SHEZ operates differently depending on in the SHEZLOG feature is active. If the SHEZLOG feature is NOT active, any errors encountered will cause an error message box to appear on the screen, and all activity will stop until a key is pressed. If the SHEZLOG feature is active, all error messages will be posted to the file pointed to by the SHEZLOG environment variable. No error messages will appear on the screen. Also when operating in this mode, you may cancel the bulk virus scan, after initiating it, by press the ESC key. To perform a virus scan when viewing the contents of a compressed file, simply press the ALT-Z keys. When doing a virus scan from within an opened compressed file, SHEZ will also look for embedded compressed files and will perform the scan on files contained within them. The only exception to this is if you are looking inside an embedded compressed file when you activate the scan, (ALT-Z). Under this condition SHEZ will only check the files contained in the current compressed file. VIRUS CHECKING SELECTED FILES If you wish to only check a few files contained in a compressed file for viruses, tag the files you wish to check then press the ALT-Z key. Only the tagged files will be checked instead of all in the compressed file. VIRUS SCANNING A DIRECTORY When in the DOS directory view screen you may also virus scan an entire directory. Simply move the highlight bar to the directory you wish to scan and press the ALT-S keys. SHEZ will use the user defined virus scanning program to scan the files in the highlighted directory. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -56- THE SGREP PROGRAM The SGREP program, supplied with SHEZ, is used by SHEZ when the ALT-G key is pressed, to scan member(s) of a compressed file for words or phrases. It is included in the SHEZ package . SGREP does allows the user to specify two target strings in the search argument. These two target strings are connected with an and, &, or or, '|' separator. Thus allowing the user to search for two different strings, or two strings or words contained on the same line. When the specific string is found, the line in the file that contains the string is written to the stdout DOS device, which is normally the display. The output may be redirected to a file or a printer using the normal DOS redirection symbols. The format of the SGREP command line is as follows: SGREP [options] "target(s)" {file(s)...|@file} Where options are: -f display **FILE-NAME for finds only -l line numbers -c case sensitive search -x no logo -e return errorlevel only -p pause when screen is full -v verbose display output @file indicates an ascii file containing a list of file to process. This list MUST include the complete file specification. I.E. The disk, directory, filename, and file extension. The target string(s) must be enclosed in quotes and special characters can be specified as indicated below. Hex byte sequences can be used to search for special non-displayable characters. They are specified using a pair of hexadecimal bytes preceded by a dollar sign,$. EXAMPLES: $23 include is the string #include $252.50 is the string %2.50 $23$24$25 is the string #$% Two targets may be specified using the & and | characters to search for two targets. If the & is used the lines must contain both targets. If the | is used the lines must contain one of the targets. Example: "save|main" line must have save or main to be listed. "save&main" line must have save and main to be listed. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -57- The format of the SGREP command line is presented here for documentation purposes only since SHEZ automatically invokes the SGREP itself using a predefined set of options. SGREP may be run from the DOS command prompt, or when using the ALT-Y command option of SHEZ. THE DUMPMAC PROGRAM The DUMPMAC program is a small program designed to dump a saved macro file to the DOS stdout device, normally the screen, and list the recorded keystrokes in readable form. The command line format is: DUMPMAC macro-file-name The output of the program is self explanatory, and can be used to debug or list unknown SHEZ macro files. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -58- THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM The SHEZCFG program is now fully menu driven and contains full online help. As you modify information on each screen be sure to press the F10 key to save each entry screen. After going through all the configuration items be sure to select the "A" menu item to save your configuration information. THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM MUST BE RUN TO CREATE A CONFIGURATION FILE OR SHEZ WILL NOT RUN!! After creating a shez configuration file you may place the configuration file into a directory that is specified in your PATH statement. Shez will find its configuration file as follows: If the SHEZCFG environment variable is set SHEZ will use the configuration file that has been specified by the environment variable. If the SHEZCFG environment varialble has not been set Shez will search the directories in your PATH looking for a file named SHEZ.CFG. If a valid configuration file can not be located SHEZ will not run!!!!! SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -59- CONFIGURING FOR VIRUS SCANNING Under the program options, you will be asked if you wish to configure SHEZ to scan .COM and .EXE files contained in compressed files for viruses. If you respond Y, SHEZ will that ask you where the virus checking program can be found. The programs that SHEZ supports are, SCAN.EXE version 39 or greater, produced by McAfee Associates, and the virus scanning program by Central Point. When prompted enter the complete DISK:\DIRECTORY\FILENAME.EXT of where the virus scanning program is located. It is advised that you place the SCAN program on a write protected floppy disk to prevent it from being infected. You may also optionally enter any additional command line options that the virus scanning program requires. The optional parameters are entered after the SHEZCFG prompts for them. If you use the /report feature of McAfee's virus scanning program, and you use the SHEZLOG feature, as explained in the section titled PREFORMING A VIRUS SCAN on page 54. PLEASE BE SURE TO specify two different files names. If they are both pointing to the same file the results will be unpredictable. PLEASE NOTE: SHEZ WILL NOT SEARCH YOUR PATH FOR THE SCAN PROGRAM. IF YOU DO NOT TELL IT EXACTLY WHERE TO FIND IT SHEZ WILL BE UNABLE TO EXECUTE THE PROGRAM. COMPATIBILITY ISSUES SHEZ achieves fast screen updates buy writing directly to video buffer memory. If your machine is not 100% compatible you can force SHEZ to use BIOS routines to update the screen. This is accomplished by setting an environment variable BIOS equal to Y. I.E. SET BIOS=Y. Do this before executing SHEZ. For monochrome monitors a similar method is employed set the environment variable MONO equal to Y. I.E. SET MONO=Y. Some clone machines have a bug in the builtin BIOS routines that will cause SHEZ to hang if you have exploding windows turned on. If you experience a machine lock up, try reconfiguring SHEZ and turn the exploding windows off. DESQVIEW COMPATIBILITY SHEZ is now DESQview aware. When setting SHEZ up under DESQview set the parameter WRITE DIRECTLY TO SCREEN to NO, and USES OWN COLORS to YES. SHEZ will also automatically release its timeslice to Desqview when waiting for keyboard input. WINDOWS AND OS/2 COMPATIBILITY SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -60- SHEZ has been tested under Windows 3.1 and OS/2 2.X. When running under OS/2 or Windows enhanced mode, SHEZ will automatically release its timeslice to the operating system when waiting for keyboard input. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -61- SWAPPING SHEZ OUT OF MEMORY This section briefly describes how SHEZ swaps itself out of memory to make room for other programs. It also describes how the user can configure SHEZ to perform its swapping function. When you configure SHEZ to swap itself out of memory when running other programs, SHEZ first looks to see if your system has EMS or XMS memory installed. If there is EMS or XMS memory, and there is a sufficient amount of EMS or XMS memory, SHEZ will copy most of its code to EMS or XMS memory then free up enough memory to run another program. After the other program has ended SHEZ then swaps itself back into memory. As a default SHEZ will first look to see of XMS memory is available. If XMS is available and there is a sufficient amount of XMS memory SHEZ will swap itself to XMS memory. If XMS memory is not available, or there is not enough XMS memory available, SHEZ will them look for EMS memory. If EMS memory is available, and there is sufficient EMS memory, SHEZ will swap itself into EMS memory. If EMS memory is not available, or there is not enough EMS memory available SHEZ will then swap itself to disk. If EMS or XMS memory is not available, or there is not enough EMS or XMS memory, SHEZ will then use your DISK to swap itself out of memory. It allocates disk space on the currently active drive and in the current directory. When SHEZ swaps to disk it can conflict with some compression operations. To solve this problem the SHEZCFG program allows you to tell SHEZ, HOW AND WHERE TO SWAP itself. The SHEZCFG program allows you to tell SHEZ the DISK and DIRECTORY of where to build its swapper file if it needs to swap to disk. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CREATE A SEPARATE AND UNIQUE DIRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DRIVE FOR SHEZ TO USE WHEN SWAPPING TO DISK. THIS DIRECTORY SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY FILES IN THE DIRECTORY. USING THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM, TELL SHEZ THE LOCATION AND THE NAME OF THIS DIRECTORY. THEN IF SHEZ NEEDS TO SWAP TO DISK IT WILL PLACE THE SWAPPER FILE INTO THIS UNIQUE DIRECTORY, AND AFTER THE SWAP FUNCTION IS COMPLETE IT WILL REMOVE THE SWAPPER FILE. The SHEZCFG program also allows you to tell SHEZ to ignore EMS or XMS memory, even if you have EMS and/or XMS memory installed, and always swap to disk. Since these option are new in release 6.1 PLEASE RUN THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM AND SET THE SWAPPING OPTIONS TO YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS. The swapping options can be found under the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu item. You can tell SHEZ to use XMS, EMS, and disk SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -62- for swapping. If you specify all three XMS will be tested first, then EMS, then disk. USING EMS/XMS MEMORY IN SHEZ Beginning with release 7.0 of SHEZ, SHEZ can now use 65K of XMS or EMS memory to reduce its DOS memory requirements. The XMS/EMS memory is used for temporary storage areas, thus reducing the amount of DOS memory SHEZ needs. The XMS/EMS memory will be released when you exit SHEZ. If SHEZ uses EMS memory, it will also use a portion of the allocated EMS memory as a file buffer area when copying files from the DOS directory display. This will significantly speed up the copy operations, so it is recommenced to use EMS memory if it is available. EMS / XMS memory usage can be configured through the SHEZCFG program via the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu item. Shown below is the EMS/XMS configuration option as it will appear on the screen: SHEZ can use EMS or XMS memory to reduce its memory requirements. SHEZ will first try to use EMS and then XMS if EMS memory is not available. You can tell SHEZ to only use EMS, only use XMS, not to use either, or to try XMS first then EMS. At the prompt enter EX to use EMS then XMS, OR enter XE to use XMS then EMS, OR enter E to use only EMS, OR enter X to use only XMS, OR enter to spaces to not use EMS or XMS. Enter EMS-XMS usage as described above->EX You can over-ride the memory usage options through the use of environment variables. See the section titled ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE for more information. SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -63- SPEECH FRIENDLY INTERFACE Release 7.1 of SHEZ implements a new feature called Speech Friendly Interface, (SFI). This feature makes SHEZ more friendly to users with speech synthesizer boards, (these enable the blind users to read the computer display). The SFI interface has been implemented in three parts. In addition the Copyright box will not appear in the upper right corner of the display, leaving the screen a little cleaner. The first SFI feature is that most dialog boxes, error message boxes and informational boxes will be displayed using DOS BIOS routines instead of writing directly to the video buffers. This feature should make interfacing SHEZ to a speech synthesizer a little eaiser. The second SFI feature will position the cursor on the currently active screen line. This feature has been implemented when viewing the DOS directory listing, the compressed files listing, the help screens, and the drop down menu system. When possible the cursor will be placed to the right of the first pertinent data appearing on the screen. However there are some dialog boxes, and prompt boxes that this positioning is not 100% accurate. To solve this problem, the third part of the SFI interface includes the ability to "FREEZE" the screen, and use the cursor keys to walk around the screen. To freeze the screen press the ` (left single quote character). This will place the screen in a frozen state UNTIL YOU PRESS THE ` KEY AGAIN. When the freeze frame is activated a low to high beep sound will be made. When exiting the freeze frame feature a high to low beep will be made. While in the frozen state the following cursor movement keys are active: CURSOR-UP = move cursor up one line CURSOR-DOWN = move cursor down one line CURSOR-LEFT = move cursor left on character CURSOR-RIGHT = move cursor right one character PAGE-UP = move cursor to upper left corner of screen PAGE-DOWN = move cursor to lower left corner of screen CONTROL-HOME = move cursor to first significant character on current line. (A significant character is a character having an ascii code greater then a decimal 20, and less than a decimal 123) HOME = move cursor to where is originally was before you started fussing with it. The SFI support routines are activated by using the SHEZCFG program, and setting the SFI option to Y. 4DOS AND NDOS SUPPORT SHEZ USER MANUAL PAGE -64- Shez offers limited support for certain capabilities when running under 4DOS and NDOS. Shez can automatically determine if it is running under either of these systems and will active support for their facilities automatically. The following facilities are supported: 1) When viewing a DOS directory display pressing the ALT-D keys will display the 4DOS/NDOS description entries if any exist. 2) When viewing a DOS directory display pressing the ALT-U keys will allow you to UPDATE and/or ADD description entries to the currently highlighted file. This will also active the ALT-D option automatically. When adding a description to a file if the 4DOS/NDOS DESCRIPT.ION file does not exist one will be created, if the file already exists it will be updated. 3) When copying, moving, or renaming files the 4DOS/NDOS description will be carried along with the file. If the file is renamed the entry in the DESCIPT.ION file will be modified accordingly. 4) AT THE CURRENT TIME SHEZ DOES NOT MODIFY THE DESCIPT.ION FILE WHEN YOU DELETE A FILE. THE FILES DESCRIPTION WILL REMAIN IN THE 4DOS/NDOS DESCRIPT.ION FILE. USING 4DOS INTERNAL LIST COMMAND SHEZ can be configured to use the internal LIST command of 4DOS as the default file viewer. To configure SHEZ for this feature, use the SHEZCFG program and select option 5 and press F10 until the menu titled OTHER PROGRAMS TO USE appears. Answer Y to the question, "When running under 4DOS use 4DOS internal list command". You may also enter blanks in the area that asks for the Viewing-program to use.
