  126. ============= OPTIONS =======================================================
  127.  
  128.         /W      Wide display (five columns)
  129.  
  130.         /BW     Black and White (No colors).  EXM normally uses \EXM.CFG
  131.                 file for its colors.  See Configuration File section
  132.                 below for more details.
  133.  
  134.         /P      This causes EXM to pause after every 23 lines.
  135.  
  136.         /C      Show Checksum of file.  The "checksum" of a file is the
  137.                 sum total of all the bytes in a file.  If any changes
  138.                 are made to a file (from a virus or someone hacking
  139.                 the program), the Checksum of that file will be different.
  140.                 This is useful to ensure your file integrity is good, but
  141.                 does take a while, since every byte of the file must be
  142.                 read and calculated.
  143.  
  144.         /-S     No size information.  This eliminates the file size displayed
  145.                 normally on the second line.
  146.  
  147.         /-D     No date information.  This eliminates the file date displayed
  148.                 normally on the third line.
  149.  
  150.         /-H     Do not scan hidden files.  As a default, ExeMaster scans
  151.                 hidden files as well as normal files.  This turns that
  152.                 function off.
  153.  
  154.         /-W     No Windows file search.  Normally, ExeMaster scans bytes
  155.                 400-700 for the "requires Microsoft Windows" string.  This
  156.                 option eliminates that, and speeds up processing by
  157.                 around 20%.
  158.  
  159.         /-B     No compiled batch file or self-displaying text file scan.
  160.                 DOS Batch files can be compiled into .COM or .EXE files
  161.                 by several different utilities.  Normally, ExeMaster scans
  162.                 for these.  Also, ExeMaster scans for compiled text files.
  163.                 This option turns this scanning off.
  164.  
  165.         /-I     No ending info.  This eliminates the total files/sizes
  166.                 and archiver information displayed at the end.
  167.  
  168.         /OP     Show only PKLITE.  Only files compressed with PKLITE(tm)
  169.                 will be displayed.
  170.  
  171.         /OS     Show only SCRUNCH.  Only files compressed with SCRUNCH
  172.                 will be displayed.
  173.  
  174.         /OC     Show only COMPACK.  Only files compressed with COMPACK
  175.                 will be displayed.
  176.  
  177.  
  178.         /OT     Show only TINYPROG.  Only files compressed with TINYPROG
  179.                 will be displayed.
  180.  
  181.  
  182.         /OD     Show only DIET.  Only files compressed with DIET
  183.                 will be displayed.
  184.  
  185.  
  186.         /OL     Show only LZEXE.  Only files compressed with LZEXE
  187.                 will be displayed.
  188.  
  189.  
  190.         /OEX    Show only Self Extractors.  Only files that are compressed
  191.                 with LHA, ARC, PKZIP, ARJ, SQUEEZE, PAK and LHARC will be
  192.                 displayed.
  193.  
  194.  
  195.         /OW     Show only Windows files.  Only files that run under Windows(tm)
  196.                 will be displayed.
  197.  
  198.  
  199.         /OB     Show only Batch and Text.  Only batch files that have been
  200.                 compiled, and self-displaying text files will be displayed.
  201.  
  202.  
  203.        /OGN     Show only Graphic & Norton Files.  Self-displaying graphic
  204.                 files are images stored as .EXE files, and show themselves
  205.                 when run.  Norton(tm) files are included in such packages
  206.                 as NORTON UTILITIES, or NORTON DESKTOP, and are compressed
  207.                 with his own executable compressor.

  221. ==== CONFIGURATION FILE ======================================================
  222.  
  223.  
  224.         ExeMaster uses a configuration file in your root directory called
  225.         EXM.CFG for your colors.  Each archiver has its own color (default
  226.         of WHITE ON BLACK), in the following format:
  227.  
  228.         Normal=                 Uncompressed Files
