ZIPITALL - programmed by THE ADMINISTRATOR and THE GENERAL
(A simple BUT NEEDED utility)
If you are going to take the time to ZIP original Floppies, then here
is the tool to do it right every time. No more missing volume labels
or subdirectories! Also correctly restores properly zipped material
back to floppies.
Zipitall consists of 1 program file to make Zipping and Unzipping
original disks a snap!! It will catch subdirectories, volume labels,
hidden, system, and "read only" files. Zipitall will work for DOS and
WINDOWS files only. Do NOT use it where you would need to capture a
BOOT SECTOR or on files with EXTENDED ATTRIBUTES such as some OS/2
files. These are no limitations of zipitall but are limitations of
PKZIP.
Put the ZIPITALL.EXE file IN YOUR PATH. Also make sure you have a copy of
PKZIP and PKUNZIP, version 2.04g or higher, and this should also be IN
YOUR PATH.
TO ZIP your original floppy, just place it in drive a or b and use the
appropriate menu selection. You supply the name for the new zip file,
and any additional switches needed, i.e. -! for authenticity etc, all
additional switches must be followed by a space just like the command
line option.
TO UNZIP back to floppy, place an empty formatted floppy disk in one
of the floppy drives. Use the appropriate selection to restore the file.
Simply supply the correct zip file name that you want restored.
You can optionally supply the full pathname if that directory is not the
current default.
