Welcome to Archivers v 4.5!
New in Version 4.5:
We have added a directory comparison function (in the Options menu)
which can compare a working directory and a backup directory and
automatically update the files that have been changed. We have
also added a user-defined text editor and graphics viewer which
you can add to the Editors or Viewer menus for viewing text and
graphics files.
Archivers provides you with a quick, intuitive Windows interface
for using the file compression programs ZIP, ARJ, LZH and
Microsoft's Compress and Expand programs. The Archivers window
is laid out with a Source and a Target directory visible on your
screen. This allows you to see and control all of the Archivers
functions. The Archivers menus provide quick access to all of the
uncompression and compression commands, and, for added speed,
Archivers also provides an "instant menu" which can be accessed
anywhere in the Archivers window by clicking on your right mouse
button and provides you with instant access to the more frequently
used menu items. Archivers also offers the ability to view, extract
or delete individual files within your Zip, Lzh and Arj files before
uncompressing them.
And Archivers does not limit itself to file compression and
uncompression. It also offers a complete file management system;
allowing you to create directories, delete directories, copy and
move files, search for files, view and execute files, and backup
system files - all directly from the Archivers window. By double
clicking on files, you can also view text files, BMP files and GIF
files, as well as execute EXE files.
To load Archivers onto your system, go to the File menu of your
Windows Program Manager and choose Run. Choose the Archivers
setup.exe file from the directory or disk and click on OK. The
setup program will load all the necessary files onto your system
and create a Windows program group for Archivers.
In order for this program to run properly, you will also need to
have the the following archiving utilities fully extracted in a
directory which is located in your path:
For the PKZip program,PKZ204G.EXE;
For the ARJ program, ARJ239a.EXE or ARJ250.EXE (most recent versions);
For the LHA program, LHA212.EXE.
(the EXE filename may depend on the version of the program.).
From PKZ204g.exe, Archivers uses Pkzip.exe, Pkunzip.exe, Pkzipfix.exe,
and Zip2exe.exe.
From Arj239a.exe all you will need is Arj.exe.
From Lha212.exe lha.exe is all that is needed.
Please ensure these files are in your path. These files are not
furnished as part of the Archivers Program. They can be obtained
from most online services or BBSs.
You also need to have the VBRUN300.DLL file in your
Windows\System directory in order for Archivers to run properly.
After unzipping the archiver.zip file, you should see the following
files:
archiver.ex_
archiver.hl_
archiver.pi_
archcomp.pi_
cmdialog.vb_
compress.ex_
ddeml.dl_
dosit.dl_
expand.ex_
frespace.dl_
gifbox.vb_
readme.wr_
readme.txt (this file)
setup.exe
setup.lst
setup1.ex_
setupkit.dl_
shell.dl_
vbctl3d.vb_
ver.dl_
Setup will install the .pif files into your Windows
directory, along with the compress and expand .exe files. All .dll
and .vbx files will be installed into your windows\system directory.
And the setup program will create an Archivers directory which will
contain the archiver .exe and .hlp files along with the readme.wri.
If you ever want to uninstall Archivers, all you need to do is remove
all of these files from your system. No changes are made to your
autoexec.bat file or any .ini file on your system.
Archivers may be distributed freely, as long as no fee is charged
for the distribution and all of the files listed above are included
with the program, but it may in no way be bundled with or included
into another program without obtaining prior written permission
from the author.
