Norton UnZip dialog box

Expands files and folders that have been compressed by the Norton Zip command, or any of the following compression utilities:

PK Zip 1 and 2

SEA ARC

LHA 2.1x.

Note:

If a zip file created as a PK Zip compatible file is contained on more than one disk, insert the disks in reverse order to expand the files. In other words, insert the last disk first. Then insert previous disks as requested.

Alternate method:

1	Select the zip file (marked by [image]) in the tree list. Names of the compressed files that it contains appear in the file list.

2	Drag files from the file list to the folder where you want to expand them.

The name of the zip file.

In the Norton UnZip dialog box, use the drop-down history list or click [image] or [image] to locate a different zip file.

In the Delete from Zip File dialog box, click Contents to select files to delete from a list of all files in the zip file.


Specify the individual files you want to expand from the zip file. The default is *.* (all files).

Click Contents to see a list of the compressed files, and select file names from the list.


The folder for the output.

Use the drop-down history list, or click [image] or [image] and select from the folder tree and file list that appears.


If any of the files in the zip file are encrypted, you have to enter the encryption key to unzip the file.

If you do not enter the password in this text box, you are prompted to enter it before the file is unzipped.


If you choose Skip, this file will not be unzipped. Other files will be unzipped if you have entered the correct key, or if they were not encrypted when they were compressed.


If a version of a file already exists in the path you specified, expand the file only if it is newer.


If folder path information is stored in the zip file, expand files into that folder structure, creating folders if necessary.


Delete each file from the zip file as soon as it is unzipped.

If you delete individual files from zip files, you do not have two versions of the file, one zipped and one unzipped.


Displays a list of files in the selected zip file so that you can choose the files you want to expand.

This section of the dialog box does not have context-sensitive help. Click on the text next to a check box or text box for popup help on it.


Opens a dialog box where you select predefined and custom file sets.

Predefined sets are the files associated with programs, such as Excel or Microsoft Word.

Custom file sets are named sets that you have created for files you want to group together. For example, you could create a file set for bitmaps of several kinds, such as BMP, TIF, and GIF, or for text files such as ERR and LOG that might not be associated with a program.


Opens a dialog box where you select predefined and custom location sets.

Predefined location sets are generic locations, such as the drives and folders in your PATH statement, the current drive, and the current folder and its subfolders.

Custom location sets are named sets of one or more specific drive and folder locations.

Location sets specify both mapped drive and UNC-named server paths (\\server\volume\folder), and can include folder paths.


Find

Search for files that match a file specification and insert their names automatically in the dialog box text box.

You can specify the drive and folder and use wildcards in the file name. You can also use file type and location sets to specify the files and location to search.

To include subfolders in the specified path, enclose the path name in double quotation marks and add a plus sign (+) outside of the quotation marks. For example, you might enter "C:\NEW BITMAPS"+;"D:\SCREENS"+.

Note

If 'dynamic' appears, your current drive, folder, or mapped drives determine the specific location.


Click drive letters to expand the list and locate a folder.


When you select a folder name, the names of the files that the folder contains appear in the file list.

Tip

You can enter file specification containing wildcards to limit the file names that appear in the Files list and make it easier to select the file name you want. For example, enter *.BMP to see only bitmap file names.


Select a file specification to limit the file names that appear in the Files list.

To enter a custom filter, type a file specification containing wildcards in the File Name text box.


location set (Norton File Manager)
location set

Drives or servers and specific folders that you specify and define as a named group of search paths.

For example, if you often search for files in the network drive path M:\SOURCE\INC, and also in the local drive path C:\SOURCE\INC, create a location set that specifies those folders and name it SOURCE.

Then, to find files in those locations, you select Source from the list of location sets displayed when you click the Sets button beside the Where text box.


wildcard character

A character that represents one or more characters.

The question mark (?) wildcard can be used to represent any single character, and the asterisk (*) wildcard can be used to represent any character or group of characters that might match that position in other file names. For example, *.EXE represents all files that end with the .EXE file name extension.

In Windows 95 and Windows NT, you can use the asterisk wildcard character at the beginning of a file name, such as *EXT.*.


file set (Norton File Manager)
file set

File specifications that you enter and define as a named group, such as *.TXT, *.B%T, and EX*.DOC, or predefined by association with a program, such as Excel. You can include files that are part of predefined File Sets in File Sets that you create.

For example, you can create a File Set called Misc Text Files, and enter *.FIL, *.ERR, and *.LOG as file types. Then when you are searching for a file containing a string, you use this File Set instead of entering all of the file types.
