* ZIPKIT0A Companion to PKZ110.EXE { 10/09/91 }
1: Copy all programs to the UTILITY directory on your hard drive.
2: Set PATH= statement to include UTILITY directory.
3: All executables must have file attributes which allow reading.
4: Memory available must be 250k +
TOZIP.EXE *.*
Version 5
This program will convert file collections from various compression
techniques to the enhanced compression levels available through the
use of PKZ110.EXE.
You must have in your possession a copy of PKZIP.EXE from the
PKZ110.EXE compression programs collection and a copy of one or more
of the following.
ZOO (1.22, 1.31, 1.50, 2.00, 2.01)
PAK (2.01, 2.10)
DWC (A4, A4.5, A4.91, A4.92, A4.93, A4.94, A5.01)
LHARC (1.0, 1.12, 1.13)
PKUNPAK (3.61)
PKXARC (35A - You must rename this to PKUNPAK.EXE )
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the highest version for all of
the above mentioned compression programs. Use of an earlier version
may result in error messages from that compression program that it
does not understand the compression method in use.
All of these executables must reside on your DOS path and have
attributes that are NOT read only.
Options needed to run - none - (default compression -ex (MAXIMUM))
(process all files)
Options available to run - SET ZIPLEV=? (Where ? is EX,EI,ES)
SET ZIPTIME=? (Where ? is ARCHIVE)
(Where ? is a date -
YYYYMMDD)
SET ZIPDEPTH=1 (Recurse into
current collection)
Ex: SET ZIPLEV=EI (IMPLODING on all files)
See PKWares documentation for more info on compression levels.
SET ZIPTIME=ARCHIVE results in only those files which have their
archive bit set to be processed.
SET ZIPTIME=YYYYMMDD results in only those files dated equal to or
greater than the set date to be processed. Ex: SET ZIPTIME=19890401,
results in files dated equal to or greater than '1989 April 01' to
be processed.
If SET ZIPDEPTH=1 is SET then an extra call to TOZIP will be made to
attempt to TOZIP any other file collections that may be present in
the parent file collection.
If errors are encountered during processing, a file titled
PKERRORS.LOG will reside in the same directory as TOZIP. This file
contains a list of file collections that in someway are corrupted.
File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
Note that erred file collections are not processed to .ZIP files.
ZIPCOMNT.EXE *.* comment or ZIPCOMNT.EXE *
Options needed to run - none
Options available to run
SET ZIPLINE=1
SET ZIPCOMNT=path
SET ZIPTIME=x (Where x is ARCHIVE, or x is a date YYYYMMDD)
Where comment is your desired comment to be added to ALL requested
file collections. If ZIPLINE=1 is set, the comment will be placed
directly following 'Searching ZIP: path/file '. If ZIPLINE is not
set, the comment will be padded with two CR's to allow a longer
comment which will avoid any possible word wrap which may occur in
long path names. In this version the comment is limited to 117
characters. It is advised that you do however keep the comment
limited to 79 characters. Experiment with a ZIP to see the format
which will be presented.
If ZIPCOMNT=path is set, ZIPLINE is then ignored. ZIPCOMNT=path is
the full drive:\path to a file which contains a desired comment. To
create a comment file use your favorite ascii editor. When complete
experiment on a ZIP to judge the presentation.
To run ZIPCOMNT with a comment file use the command ZIPCOMNT.EXE *
Ex: SET ZIPCOMNT=C:\UTIL\COMMENT.FIL
ZIPCOMNT *
To remove unwanted comments from ZIP files
Ex: SET ZIPLINE=1
ZIPCOMNT *
See TOZIP options for SET ZIPTIME=
SNGLCMNT.EXE filename or SNGLCMNT.EXE
Options needed to run - none
Options available to run - SET SNGLCMNT=path to comment file
This program will allow you to add informative comments to ZIP file
collections. This will allow you and your users to easily recognize
ZIP collections that are not often accessed/utilized. You may
either specify a filename at start-up or you may select the desired
ZIP file to comment with the built in dir search and selection
routines. A general help routine is available by function key when
SNGLCMNT is started. COMMAND.COM and PKZIP.EXE must reside on the
path with attributes that are NOT read only. If you SET SNGLCMNT
to point at an existing file created with any ASCII editor, that
file will be loaded into the edit screens buffers at program
start-up. You may then enter or alter the screen to add to that
which is already present.
REZIP.EXE *.*
Version 5
This program will maintain all ZIP collections for you. It will if
desired recurse all .ZIP collections in the parent .ZIP collections
root entries to gain the enhanced compression levels available from
the PKZ110.EXE file collection programs. You must have in your
possession a copy of PKZIP.EXE and a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE. These
executables must reside on your DOS path and have attributes that
are NOT read only. When REZIP is processing files, an extra call
may be made to REZIP to try to REZIP any ZIP files that may be
present in the parent ZIP collections root entries. If you do not
feel that this step is necessary then do not use the SET ZIPDEPTH
option. Note that the file count allowed in a ZIP collection can
not be greater than 900 files. If paths were stored then the
directory count allowed in a ZIP collection is 50 directories.
Options needed to run - none - (default compression -ex (IMPLODING))
(process all files)
Options available to run - SET ZIPLEV=? (Where ? is EX,EI,ES)
SET ZIPTIME=? (Where ? is ARCHIVE)
(Where ? is a date -
YYYYMMDD)
SET ZIPDEPTH=1 (Recurse ZIPs in parent ZIP)
Ex: SET ZIPLEV=EI (IMPLODING on all files)
See PKWares documentation for more info on compression levels.
SET ZIPTIME=ARCHIVE results in only those files which have their
archive bit set to be processed.
SET ZIPTIME=YYYYMMDD results in only those files dated equal to or
greater than the set date to be processed. Ex: SET ZIPTIME=19890801,
results in files dated equal to or greater than '1989 August 01' to
be processed.
If SET ZIPDEPTH=1 is SET then an extra call to REZIP will be made to
attempt to rezip any other ZIP files that may be in the top entries
of the current ZIP collection.
If errors are encountered during processing, a file titled
PKERRORS.LOG will reside in the same directory as REZIP. This file
contains a list of ZIP collections that in someway are corrupted.
File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
Note that erred ZIP collections are not Rezipped.
CLNZIP.EXE *.* file/s_to_delete
Allows selective deletes of unwanted files from selected ZIP files.
See TOZIP options for SET ZIPTIME=
CHKZIP.EXE *.*
Options needed to run - none
Options available to run - SET ZIPKILL= (any thing)
SET ZIPTIME= (See TOZIP options)
To check integrity of your ZIP collection files. See PKERRORS.LOG
for files reported erred. Note that warnings are also posted to
PKERRORS.LOG as ERROR IN FILE.
If ZIPKILL is set to any setting, erred file collections are then
deleted when errors or warnings are encountered. A list of those
files deleted will be listed in PKERRORS.LOG. If you do not wish to
utilize this option then do not SET this environment variable.
* If you must abort the programs as they are running then HOLD
Ctrl/Break until the system prompt presents itself. External
processes must be allowed to finish before Ctrl/Break is picked up.
* All programs are network compatible. Locked and inaccessible files
are bypassed. Note that users must have root directory access.
* Note that .LOG file may be present after run of CHKZIP, CLNZIP,
REZIP or TOZIP. It is meant to be used at a later date by yourself.
The final .LOG file is processed into the directory where the .EXE
of the program run is located.
* Process speed is dependent on several items. Set times can vary due
to system technology, compression levels chosen and the number of
files to be processed.
* Sample setup files
For config.sys
shell=command.com/p/e:512
break=on
For autoexec.bat
path=c:\pkwares;c:\dos;c:\utility
set ziptime=archive { only files with archive bit set }
tozip c:\files\*.* { no ziplev, MAX compression all files }
set ziplev=es { SHRINK all files, see PKWare docs }
set ziptime=19900401 { only files dated >= 1990 April 01 }
tozip d:\files\*.*
set zipcomnt=c:\comment.fil
zipcomnt * { comment files dated later that 19900401
with contents of c:\comment.fil }
set ziptime= { clean up environment }
set zipcomnt=
set ziplev=
* SWEEP tozip * etc...
