"UZI.COM" 1991 ANDREW ELLENBERGER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR UZI.COM
UZI.COM is a batch program written for extracting a single file
from a compressed zip file with the intention of saving a few
key strokes. Motivation for the creation of this BAT came from
the frequent need to extract a single file such as a .Doc or READ.ME
file from the many shareware files that I look at each month.
and since I would most likely view the file with a -v option
first I put a routine in the BAT that would run that option if
no second parameter was given. The command line systax is thus:
UZI {ZIP FILENAME (NO EXTENSION)} {FILENAME TO EXTRACT} {DRIVE:\PATH\DIR}
If no 3rd parameter is entered for the destination then the file
will be extracted to the default directory and you will be given
the message:
Filename.xxx has been extracted to the current directory...All Done!
You will get other prompts appropriate to the parameters entered.
If the zipfile you specified does not exist you will be given an
error message and the program will abort. Sorry, this version of
Uzi assumes a zipfile extension of .zip due to the fact that it
was written with the intension of manipulating shareware zipfiles.
As mentioned above if you only specify the zipfilename like this:
UZI ZIP-FILENAME
Then Uzi will open the zipfile with the -v option if it exists so
you can look for an internal file to extract and simply add that
filename as the second parameter when you run Uzi again.
You can run Uzi with a wildcard such as this:
UZI ZIP-FILENAME *.DOC C:\DOC
All files with a .DOC extension will extract to the directory C:\DOC
Uzi will process the extraction if your parameters were valid but will
give you the error message:
BAD FILENAME, WILDCARD * USED, OR INVALID DRIVE\PATH
"UZIV.COM" 1991 by Andrew Ellenberger
Instructions for UZIV.COM
UZIV.COM works similar to UZI.COM except that it is for exctracting
a file within a zipfile to screen for viewing. There are only two
parameters needed:
UZIV %1 %2
OR
UZIV ZIP-FILENAME FILENAME
Again if there is no second parameter entered then the zip-file will
be opened for listing so you can look for a filename. When one is
chosen simply enter the filename as the second parameter the next
time you run UZIV.COM.
Prompts are given appropriate to the parameters entered.
Both UZI & UZIV require that Pkzip & Pkunzip be located in the current
directory or included in your PATH statement.
More follows on line 138 these spaces inserted for convenient
printing. Wow! You don't even get that with Shareware! Set text
editor on 66 lines per page.
"ZMOV.COM" 1991 BY ANDREW ELLENBERGER
Instructions for ZMOV.COM
This program is for moving all files on the current drive, with a
given extension, to their own directory using Pkzip & Pkunzip.
You must have both Zip programs nested somewhere in your PATH
statement.
COMMAND LINE SYNTAX:
ZMOV XXX [ DRIVE:\PATH\DIRECTORY ]
Where XXX is the file extension that comes after the "." Do not include
the period. The second parameter is the destination you want to move
files to. If no destination is included then a directory will be created
equal to the XXX. EXAMPLE:
ZMOV BAT
will move all files with a BAT extension to a directory called \BAT .
Warning! Any files in the destinaion directory with the same name as
that of an incoming file will be overwritten!!! ZMOV also creates a
temorary file called TEMP.ZIP in the destination directory.
ZMOV has been written without screen supression so that if any of
the Zip programs return an error you will be aware of what is going
on. In spite of the compression & decompression involved I think
you will find that the runtime for the whole proceedure is not too
shabby unless the files you specify tend to be big ones. There are
many utilities for doing what ZMOV does but none I know of that use
the PKWARE programs to do it.
Inspiration for these little utilities must be acknowleged as comming
from Pkware and inparticular PKMENU, which after trial usage I became
rather addicted to. So to replace the sorley missed handiness of
PKMENU and since it would not be in my budget for awhile, I wrote
these keystroke saving routines to get by on and also ZMOV that
accomplishes something that even PKMENU can't do.
These batch programs are offered as freeware on an "As Is Basis" .
