Quirks IX. EveryThing Else (Almost) X. Etc. I. ZPIT INTRODUCTION ZPIT is a basic front end for command line programs. It is specifically designed with Archiving programs in mind, such as PKZip, LHARC, etc. (However, the way it is designed would allow you to use it for similar command line programs as well.) ZPIT should work with the most familiar programs, but there are some which it may not work as well with, such as ARCE(Which uses a different commandline arrangement than ZPIT allows for). The Drop Down Menus will allow you to access your Archive programs, Un-Archive programs, Scan, Clean, an Archive File lister, PKlite and any program that makes self-extracting files from an archive. You will also find a simple Text file browser, a Dos commandline and File Utilities option(to Copy, Move and Delete files). The most difficult part of ZPIT will be the setting up, which is done from the separate ZPCFG program. ZPIT may be harder to setup than other similar programs, but it is hoped that it will then be easier to use. The setup requires you to create configurations for each operation that you require. The configurations are based on the command line structure, and vary somewhat between options(See command line information below). One Configuration MUST be setup for one Archive and one Un-Archive Program. PLEASE DO THIS FIRST!!! Other programs are optional, but if you have no setups for them then you can't and shouldn't use the options on the menus.(These include Scan, Clean, Archive File Lister and Make EXE). The reason for this method of design was to allow you to set up multiple configurations, for different programs or different variations on the same program. The hope is that this will allow you maximum flexability. If your needs are simple, however, you can just setup up one configuration for each program, make them the defaults and use ZPIT with no other adjustments. Switching between configurations is simply a matter of selecting the configuration from a listing of the ones you have created for the program. This can be done from within the main program. The design of ZPIT was based on personal experience and may not appeal to everyone but it is hoped that it is universal enough to be used with different purposes in mind. *What ZPIT Includes: -Easy menu selections. -Multiple configurations for archive/Unarchive programs and other command line programs, with specific options for SCAN and CLEAN. You can also setup options to allow you to create an EXE archive file. There is a menu option to start this, and PKlite, as well. -The ability to easily select Multiple files, from across different directories and Drives, to archive. -Because of its design you can plug in other types of programs. -A Handy text file viewer. -Directory utilities to Copy, Delete and Move files. -Online Help *What it Doesn't: -This version of ZPIT does not include an option to change archive files from one type to another (IE., ZIP to LZH). I may try to implement that later. -This version does not have its own way of viewing archive lists and relies on outside programs to work in conjunction with ZPIT for this. (See information on viewing archives) II. Z*P*I*T 1.2 - QUICK START *For the best understanding of how ZPIT works I recommend reading the rest of the documentation as well. *To best use ZPIT and the commandline programs of your choice I recommend you read the other program documents as well. *Also read ZPIT QUIRKS at the bottom of this document. !!!!! DO THIS FIRST !!!!! *INSTALL ZPIT FILES: >Just Copy the files included with ZPIT to the desired directory. Put all the program files included with ZPIT into the same directory. Included are ZPIT.EXE, ZPCFG.EXE and several sample Configurations. (Keep Configuration files and ZPIT together to avoid problems) *SETUP ZPIT: You are about to tackle the toughest part of using ZPIT. Setting up the configurations. It is best to know the PATHs to the command line programs you want to use and any added information that might be of use(IE., Command options). Some online help is provided for a number of Archive programs. You must, at least create a default setup for one Archive and one dearchive program on startup. >Type ZPCFG to start the configuration program When the ZPIT configuration file is not found a new one is created with blank values. You will be adding Program configuration information , as well as information on what commandline programs you want ZPIT to use as defaults when started. >THE SETUP MENU. From here you can EDIT, CREATE NEW and SELECT DEFAULT configurations. To make it easy, select EDIT for ZP programs. A Dialog box should appear allowing you to select a file. The files shown in this list are the ZFG files (ZP/Archive configs). Select one of these files. If none appear in the file list then either you a). Did not install them. b). Put them somewhere else and must look for them. c). Got cheated. If there are no Configurations to edit, hit <ESC> to exit the filelist, a blank configuration will appear so you can create a new configuration. >CONFIGURATION ENTRY SCREEN. If you Happen to own one of the programs in the sample configurations then all you really need to do is enter the Path where you have the program resides, (IE., C:\Util\) and the directory to process files to. Other information can be equally useful, and can vary depending on you needs. These are the fields in the configuration screen: -Program PATH:<Path to command line program> -Program NAME:<Program Name> (IE., PKZIP. Don't include extension) -Program OPTIONS:<Command line options> (See program documents) -Path to ARCHIVE TO:<Depending on the configuration, this is an optional path to Archive/Unarchive files to>(This differs with other options) -Configuration FILENAME:<Name of Configuration you are creating. Must enter.> (You can create as many configuration as you want) -DESCRIPTION of this configuration:(Optional Description) !! It is important to note, when setting up the configurations, you must be most careful to provide the proper options for the program. Sometimes no options will do exactly what you want, but in the case of Something such as Viewing an archived file listing the proper option is a necessity to prevent unintended results. When you fill in the Entry screen, you SAVE the configuration to disk with <F2>. You can make the configuration the DEFAULT by hitting <F9>. (Make sure you have saved it as well). If you don't select the default now, a menu option will allow you to do the same thing later. You can also select defaults from within ZPIT, BUT you must make defaults for Archiving and De-Archiving before first using ZPIT. >While in the ZPIT configuration program you can also setup the program configurations. Select ZPIT program menu option The fields to be filled in are as followed. PROGRAM DIRECTORY: This is used for path information, and to store the log file and configuration files. DEFAULT EXTENSION: Refering to the archive file extension you are most likely to use. This is optional. If entered it will appear as a default in several instances. KEEP LOG: Do you want to keep a log file of the Archives you create. The file will include the date and the files and the archive name. Enter T for yes, F for no. NAME of the LOG FILE: If you put T for the previous option then you must Enter the logfile name in this field. The name may include an extension if you wish. Once you have entered the information use F2 to SAVE. And that is all. *Was that difficult? Once you have created an Archive configuration, and an Unarchive Configuration (and selected each as the default) then you can use ZPITs basic functions. Other configurations can be created when you wish, or ignored if not needed. Note: You can change the defaults easily through ZPITs menus. ! Note: Try your configuration on test files first to make sure it works as you expect. ! Read the rest of this document for more detailed information. Particularly on how ZPIT uses the command line for each configuration. III. SETUP (part 2) ,the ZPIT configuration program (ZPCFG.EXE) and commandline notes. Before starting ZPIT you should read over this section or , at least, the quick Start chapter. As with most programs, ZPIT relies on the configurations which you setup. This is even more important here. Setting up a configuration is relatively simple but requires that you know a few facts. -Fact ONE: The Drive and Directory of the program(s) you are going to use. -Fact TWO: The name of that program(of, course). -Fact THREE: Any command line options that are required to do the job you want it to do. (ZPIT provides some online help with options for popular programs, but it is always recommended that you read the documentation.) To create setups, go to the ZPIT configuration program by typing ZPCFG. You should do this before first using ZPIT. Select the option for the setup you want to create. You can also Edit a Con- figuration that you have already created. (Some sample Configurations should have come with the rest of the ZPIT files. These are samples of configurations for using different programs to archive, view archives and De-archive files). >CONFIGURATION SCREEN The following fields have to be filled in: -PATH for the Program: Program path of the Archive or other program. -NAME of the Program: Program Name. IE., PKZip. (NOTE: Don't include an Extension). -Program OPTIONS: Command Line options for the Program. IE., PKZip option '-f' will freshen file in an archive. (NOTE:Hitting F1 in this field will allow you to get help on specific programs and some of their options) -TO DIRECTORY: This options use varies as follows: with archive programs: The Directory that archive file is Sent to. with De-Archive : The directory that files are sent to. with View Archive : Default Directory to look in first for file. with Scan, Clean : Directory, file or drive to process. with Make EXE : Default directory to send Self-Extracting file to. with PKlite : Used as default lookup directory. -NAME of CONFIGURATION:<Required> This Filename, will identify the configuration for you later, if you need to edit it or select it as a default. (*Don't add an extension to the filename) -DESCRIPTION of archive: This is an optional field for information that might be useful to you. When you have filled in all the information. Use F2 to SAVE the configuration. If there is one with the same name you will be asked if you wish to overwrite it. You can now, either, exit the configuration or Use F9 to SELECT it as the DEFAULT to use at startup. (*One configuration for an archive program and one for an Unarchive program must be selected as defaults before exiting ZPCFG the first time you use it). Defaults can also be selected from the menu options in ZPCFG and in ZPIT. ESC will bring you out of this configuration. The other Menu options on the configuration menu allow you to select a default configuration from those you have created, or edit a configuration. Items to Note: -When you select a default it becomes active immediately. >NOTES on the PROGRAM COMMAND LINE: This information is to give you an idea of how ZPIT uses the configuration and let you decide the best way to set it up, or if other programs will work with it. -The ARCHIVE command line takes the following form: <D:\PATH\>ProgramName [Options] (Filename[archive file]) <TO D:\PATH\> {Filespecs} (**Filespecs are passed one at a time.) -DeARCHIVE command line: <D:\PATH\>ProgramName [Options] (Filename[archive file]) <TO D:\PATH\> {Filespecs} or <D:\PATH\>ProgramName [Options] (Filename[archive file]) <TO D:\PATH\> (**The first form passes the file names to be removed/Deleted, etc. from the archive, the second form works on all the files. The form used depends on whether individual file(s) were selected or not.) -Make EXE commandline : <D:\PATH\>ProgramName [Options] (Filename[archive file]) <TO D:\PATH\> You might also hook PKZipfix to this option, which requires only the archive filename(But the <TO \PATH\> option in the configuration for PkZipfix would be left blank) -PKlite Commandline: <D:\PATH\>ProgramName [Options] (Filename[archive file]) {FileName} The basic difference with this commandline is that it allows for one file name to be passed to the end of the command. This is seen as "Change to this {Filename}". This commandline does not send the output to a different directory. ! Note that This configuration is automatically made the default when created or changed. -VIEW ARCHIVE file LIST command line: <D:\PATH\> ProgramName [Options] (Filename[archive file]) In a case like this the 'TO Directory field' is used as a default lookup directory when bringing up the Dialog box to pick a file, leave blank if you want to start from the default Directory. ! You must be sure that you enter the proper option for viewing an archive file. Not doing so could cause unexpected results.(Some sample Con- figurations have been included for this purpose.) And online help for the options field is also available. ! This commandline is incomplete in the sense that, in addition to what is here, the program adds a Dos redirection command to a temporary file. This lists the archive to a disk file, the file is then read into a viewer and subsequently deleted when the user exits the viewer. This also means that this particular option is not really usable beyond its intended pur- pose (Viewing archive lists). -SCAN command line: <D:\PATH\> ProgramName <Scan WHAT> [Options] While an individual {filename} 'could' be selected it is not a part of the command line configuration for this program. The <WHAT> option can be used as the location you want scanned. It could be a Drive, Drive and path, or An individual file name. Unlike the other configurations, where this field on the Configuration denotes a Path, A backslash is not automatically added. If you want it to be a pathname, you can enter one but it must be properly entered. Otherwise this field is more open to variation. -CLEAN command line: <D:\PATH\> ProgramName <Clean WHAT> {Filename} <Virus> [Options] The <WHAT> option can be used as the location you want cleaned. It could be a Drive, Drive and path, or An individual file name. Unlike the other configurations where this field on the Configuration denotes a Path, A backslash is not automatically added. If you want it to be a pathname, you can enter one but it must be properly entered. Otherwise this field is more open to variation. {filename} is optional an will be ignored is none is selected. If you Enter an individual file name then the <WHAT> options will be ignored. <Virus> is the name of the Virus to be cleaned. > OTHER ZPIT Program Settings. The ZPIT Menu option is to create other options for ZPIT. Select this option: -The first Field is the ZPIT program path. -The Second field is the Default Extension of the archive file you are most likely to use. IE., ZIP for PKZip, or ARC for arcE/PKarc. This merely speeds up searching for a file later. It can be left blank, as well. -The next field is a True/False(T/F) field. Enter true if you want to keep a running log file of those files you have archived and to what filename and on what date. -The last field is the name of the log file, if you want to keep one(Here you can add an extension if you wish). When you have entered all the items required hit F2 to SAVE the new options. They are automatic default and can only be changed from within the ZPIT con- figuration program. This program also has a Help on... options which is similar to the help you will find for the Archive(Etc.) options field. >Now that you have Finished the Setup procedures you can use the program. IV. THE MENUS or Using ZPIT To start ZPIT type ZPIT at the command prompt line. Once it has started you can make selections from the various menu options. The main menus are: ZP - To Archive files/and Misc operations. UnZP - To Extract files/or View Archive lists. Setup - To Select different Program Defaults. Accessories - Misc. Operations >ZP Menu< Archiving files: The FIRST option on this menu is the <Select Files> Option. From here you select any files you want to put into an archive. When you select this option you will see two windows. The first is the file directory. The second is a list of files you have selected for archiving. To select files from the directory use the following Keys: <SPACE>: This will MARK/UNMARK a file. F3: Will MARK all files. F4: Will UNMARKED all Marked files. F2: Will SELECT all MARKED files. This will place all the files you have marked, in the directory, into the files selected list. It is Important to note that you must select marked files. Files that are only marked will not be included in the archive. Two, ALWAYS SELECT files you have marked in the visable directory BEFORE moving to a different directory. When you change directory/drive any files in the current directory which are MARKED will be unmarked. SELECTED files will remain. Always take note of the files in the Selected Files list, these are the ones you will be archiving. TAB:This will move you to the Selected file list. Once in this list You can only scroll thru the files listed. This is only to allow you to see file beyond the bottom of the window. ESC will take you back to the File selecting list. F5: Start Over. This will clear ALL SELECTED files from the list. You will have to re-mark and re-select any files to be archived. F9: This will start the archiving process based on the defaults you have already set up. You will be prompted for a file name to give to the archive. Enter file name without extension. ESC:Will leave the file selection lists. Your selections will be retained UNLESS A). you already ran the archive program. B). You select the same option(Select files) again. Note: The program assumes you will archive selected files soon after selecting them. Some other options may clear the list as well. - The <Archive file name> menu option will allow you to enter the name you want to give the archive file. If you don't use this option you will be prompted for a name on starting the Archive program. - The <New Config> menu option allows you to select a new default configuration for the archiving program you want to use. This is the same as selecting a default in the Setup menu. - The <Start ZP> option starts the Archive program. You will be prompted for an archive file name, if you haven't used menu option two. Remember to type in the name without an extension. A window will appear as the Default program runs. The name of the program running will be on the window title. You will be able to watch the program running and the status line will show you what file is being processed. When it is finished, the window will clear and you will be returned to the menu. Note: Errors found by the running program are not returned to ZPIT. If the archive process does not seem to be working properly then check: A) The configuration. B) Archive program documents. C) Run it outside of ZPIT and ses if a similar problem occurs. <Change Directory> - Obvious. It will bring up a directory tree that you can move around and select the new dirctory by pressing enter. Ctrl-C: Will allow you to change drives; Type in the Drive letter at the prompt; ESC: Will leave the directory tree. Since you haven't selected a new directory Esc returns an error, Invalid Directory selected. In this case the error can be ignored. You can also press enter on the current directory to avoid this. <eXit> - This is also obvious. >UNZP Menu< DeArchiving Files: - The FIRST Menu option will allow you to <SELECT ARCHIVE FILE> you want to process. You will receive a prompt for the Extension and then a file dialog box to select the file from. - The SECOND menu option will allow you to <SELECT FILENAMES> of individual file(s) that you wish to remove from the archive. If you don't use this option all files will be De-Archived. You will receive a prompt box. (You must know the proper names of the files). Type in the complete filename(with extension) then press enter. The file will be saved and the field cleared, so that you may enter another file name. Press ESC to finish entries. Note: If you select this option a second time it will clear the first entries made. If you want to start again or clear the list, this is the way to do it. Pressing ESC without making any entries will leave the list blank. - Menu option THREE will let you select <NEW CONFIGURATION> default. - Menu option FOUR <START UnZP> will start Processing the selected archive file. This works in a similar fashion as Archive processing. - The last menu option allows you to <VIEW an ARCHIVED FILE> listing. The things to know are that you must have set up a configuration for this option. If the Configuration is using one of the specified file types: IE., Pkzip for .ZIP files then rememeber to use the correct configuration for the correct file type. This is only important if you are using different types of Archivers. When you select this option you will be prompted for a extension. You can enter to select the default or change the Extension shown. Next you will be given a file dialog box to select the neccessary file to list. If your configuration specified a TO PATH then you will see files in that directory. Select a file from the current or different directory. This file will be listed to a Temporary file which will be loaded into a file viewer. You can browse thru the list, Mark blocks and Print or Write the blocks to disk files. When you are done, use ESC to quit. The temporary file is deleted. >SETUP Menu< The menu options on this are all basically the same. They let you change the defaults for each of the command line programs you are using. Select the program default option you want to change. A list of configurations for that option will appear in the dialog box. Now just select the once you want and it will be save as the default and become active. >ACCESORIES Menu< - The FIRST menu option will allow you to <VIEW a TEXT FILE>. - This will bring up a file Dialog box for you to select a text file to View. Once you have selected a file, you can scroll thru it, create a block of text and Print it or write it to disk. You can also search for text with in the file. Pressing ESC will end the View. - The SECOND option <MAKE EXE> will allow you to Make a Self-Extracting archive file or will run whatever program you have configured for this option. - A file Dialog box will allow you to search for and select the file you wish to make self-extracting. Make sure the file you select is compatable with the program you are using. Now the file will process. - The THIRD option will run <SCAN>. This option will allow you run Scan if you have created a configuration for it, or will run whatever program you have configured for this option. Scan will run full screen using what directions you gave it in the setup configuration. (See more on configurations above). - The FOURTH option will Run <CLEAN>. This option will allow you run Clean if you have created a configuration for it, or will run whatever program you have configured for this option. You will be given a Dialog box to select a filename. This will allow you to clean one file. If you do not want a single file then press ESC, Clean will then use whatever options have been put into the <WHAT> field of the con- figuration (See more on configurations above). The Next prompt will be for the Virus name/code required by Clean. Clean will run full screen using what directions you gave it in the setup configuration. Fortunately, the author has not had need of this option and can't verify its accuracy. - The FIFTH option is a <DOS COMMMAND>line. The command line will appear, and you may enter any valid Dos command. The command will run full screen and there will be a pause to Press enter when it is done. - The last option is <DIRCTORY UTILITIES>. This will bring up a file list. From the list you can mark files and then Delete, Copy or Move files. -When copying files you will be prompted for the directory to copy them to. Type in the directory and press enter. If the file exists you will be be asked to continue. -When moving files you will be prompted for the directory to move them to. If the file exists you will be asked to continue. If there is a copy error the original will not be deleted. -You can mark files only in the currently active directory list. -To move quickly to a different directory use CTRL-D to change the directory. A directory tree will appear. DIRECTORY UTILITIES KEYS: <SPACE> - Mark/unmark a file or files. F3 - Mark all files. ALT-C - Copy Marked file(s). ALT-D - Delete Marked file(s). ALT-M - Move Marked file(s). CTRL-D - Change Directory. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- V.

ESC - LEAVE the DIRECTORY TREE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. FILES with ZPIT ZPIT.EXE - The Program file. ZPCFG.EXE - ZPIT configuration program ZPcfg.dta - The Program Configuration file. This hold defaults for the Program. If you have a problem on startup, with configuration default, you may have to delete this file and re-select defaults on startup. This also holds program options. *.ZP$ - Tempory file. *.ZFG - Archiving program config files. *.UFG - De-Archiving program config files. *.VFG - Archive file viewer configuration. *.XFG - Make Self-Extracting archive Configuration. *.LFG - Configuration for 'Clean' Program option. *.RFG - Configuration for 'Scan' Program option. *.TFG - Configurations for PKlite Logfile - User named in setup. VII. MEMORY ISSUES and using ZPIT in shell programs. -ZPIT requires a fair amount of memory to run properly. Generally, 450k is recommended. Even so you should have little difficulty with most situations. From the command line running ZPIT has never been a problem. It works just as well running under Wordperfect Office. Programs which need more memory, such as Desqview might require that you have a good amount of extra memory to use both together. If you try to run a program with ZPIT and see error messages such as 'memory overflow' errors from LHarc, than ZPIT needs more memory. If the window given to ZPIT is large enough, then you should have no trouble running ZPIT. ZPIT is Desqview aware. But my experience has been that it writes too slowly when used in this fashion. When setting up a Desqview window for ZPIT make the Write Directly to Screen Option [Y] YES so that it will write as fast as possible. But you can test it both ways and see how it works for you. ZPIT has been tested with Windows on a limited basis but the same issues remain. As of yet, no problems have risen while running it under windows. No special configuration was used when making the PIF. (This was Windows Version 3 running on a AT 286 in standard mode). ZPIT has been designed to check available memory and won't start if it doesn't think there is enough to process internal operations. However this is not exact. If a list or window fails to open it is likely to be from a lack of enough memory for the operation. Leave ZPIT and give it more memory then try again. Memory issues are the top concerns for future development. VIII. QUIRKS -I have noticed that occasionally key assignments are ignored and won't operate as specified. This is an infrequent occurence, and may be more specific to certain machines. - Colors/Monitors. I have only tested this program on a GrayScale monitor with a VGA card, and a Color monitor with CGA card. I see no reason why I should have any problems on other color/Lcd/grayscale monitors. The colors were designed to be readable and not garish. HOWEVER, I haven't been able to test it on a monochrome display and don't know if it will A) Be readable. B) Work properly. Any reports on this are welcome. Quirks General: Design Decisions: One decision to note is the use of Dialog boxes to select files as opposed to files list. In this case they are mixed. In almost all cases the dialog box is used to select a single file and the file list is used to select multiple files. The exception is from within the Text File viewer which uses file lists for single file selection. This was done because the dialog box was too difficult to implement properly over the textfile window. IX. EVERYTHING ELSE, almost. The program 'List' has been test run from ZPIT without problem. The MAKE EXE option was used. Changes: Version 0.98 Removed some unneccessary coding. Version 1.0 Made Desqview aware. (Screen writes very slow in this state) Cleared up minor bugs and Statusline problems. Version 1.1 Corrected problem with Text Viewer not Writing blocks to disk. Version 1.2 - Finished May 1991(First public release). Changed archive list viewer procedures to create and load file of listing. Fixed some key conflicts. Fixed improper status messages. Configuration program made separate from ZPIT. Direct support for PKlite added. X.
