ZIP PROCESSOR
(p) Drake of Dominators 1993,94
The purpose of this program is to make the handling of your zip-files easier.
If you normally process a lot of zip-files, e.g if you store a lot of warez
on tape, i bet you use a lot of different utilities to check for errors,
add logos, delete bbs-ads, remove -av check etc.
Now you have one program that does it all! Okay, i use a few external
programs to do some of the work, but why code something that somebody else
already did...
It is vital for the program to run, that you enter the setup menu and enter
the paths of your PKZIP, PKUNZIP, STRIPAV and RECOM. If you're looking for a
reason why, read more about the technical part in ZPROCESS.HIS. For those of you
who don't have these utilz, i have included them in this archive.
#SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS#
RAM : Fuck knows... You'll get an error message if you don't have enough.
Mostly depends on how much ram pk(un)zip feels like eating up.
DISK: Make sure you have some working space free... 50k will be more than
enough for ME, depending on the filesizes you specify for the Random
Ads (more about them later), but please notice that pkzip/pkunzip might
want a little space to play with too.
#STARTING THE PROGRAM#
Oups, this is a hard one.. Try typing ZPROCESS.
#THE MENU SYSTEM#
Here's some explanation of each menu entry.
** SETUP **
[OPTION SELECT]
This is where you specify WHAT you want done to your zipfiles. You can choose
between 6 different actions:
1. Remove -AV Checking
2. Check for CRC Errors
3. Remove BBS Ads
4. Remove Random Ads
5. Add .ZIP Logo
6. Keep old .ZIP date
· Remove -AV Checking. Strips the Authentic Verification info (if any) from
the .ZIP file.
· Check for CRC Errors. Scans the .ZIP files for possible errors, and writes
the results to the file ZPROCESS.LST in the current directory.
· Remove BBS Ads. Removes the traditional and very annoying bbs ads. Specify
the names of the ads in a plain ascii file with one name pr. line, and name
the file ZPROCESS.ADS, and place it in the same directory as the main
program.
· Remove Random Ads. This is a very powerful feature. This allows you to
remove the BBS ads with RANDOM NAME and CHANGING SIZE!!! You can have up to
10 of these ads deleted. The files will be scanned for up to 10 keywords
supplied by you, and will NOT be deleted unless all the keywords are found.
Read more about it in "Add Keywords".
· Add .ZIP Logo. You can add your own .ZIP Logo (or Comment if you prefer).
To do this, place a file named ZPROCESS.CMT containing your favorite ascii
piece in your Zip Processor Dir.
· Keep Old .ZIP Date. If you chose no here, the file will be dated with the
current system date.
[ADD KEYWORDS]
This is where you enter the known facts about the Random BBS-ads! You'll
be prompted for an "Entry Note", which is just your personal description
of the ad, a "Min/Maximum Size", which specifies the file size. Be strict
about this, because ALL files matching this size will be extracted and
scanned! At times it can be VERY slow, but it is always VERY effective!
You can enter up to 10 keywords for every entry, and you can have 10 ads.
Notice: The keywords are CASE SENSITIVE!
----------------------------------------
[UTILITY PATHS]
Here you MUST supply the FULL path of your PKzip, PKunzip, StripAv and
Recom utilities! Even though you supply the full path, the programs MUST
BE IN A DIRECTORY IN YOUR PATH!
[PATHS TO SCAN]
You can enter up to 15 directories, where the specified zip-files will be
processed. Just enter the full filespec, e.g C:\LEECH\*.ZIP.
[SAVE SETUP]
Saves the current configuration to a file named ZPROCESS.CFG.
[ABOUT...]
You figure it out.
** START **
[START OPERATION]
Starts processing the files. Output from the integrity test is saved in the
file ZPROCESS.LST and the output from the removing of Random Ads is saved
in the file RANDOM.LST.
** QUIT **
[BACK TO DOS]
Terminates the program.
