- .ZIP file tester
-
- ZipLab LOCAL is a program which will perform thorough testing on desired
- .ZIP file(s). Rejected files will be moved to a holding directory, where
- you can do further checking, erase, or accept for addition to your
- collection.
-
- LABLOCAL will do the following:
-
- * Test for CRC errors in the .ZIP file.
- * Test for imbedded .ZIP files and if found, CRC check those too.
- * Test for imbedded .TD0 (Teledisk) files and if found, test with TDCHECK.
- * Virus SCAN imbedded EXE and COM files, using SCAN.EXE from McAffey.
- * Remove all .ZIP comments from the file.
- * Replace .ZIP comments with your own. (Optional)
- * Delete unwanted BBS ads and/or other unwanted ZIP members as you define.
- * Reject programs older than a date (year) which you specify.
-
- * NEW IN THIS VERSION!!! ******************************************************
-
- ZipLab LOCAL I - First version released.
-
- *******************************************************************************
-
- REQUIRED:
- You must already have the following programs:
-
- PKZIP.EXE - Phil Katz archive create program (version 1.01)
- PKUNZIP.EXE - Phil Katz archive extract program (version 1.01)
- TDCHECK.EXE - .TD0 (Teledisk) checker from SyDex (any version)
- SCAN.EXE - McAffey's virus detection program (any version)
-
- There are other small utility programs which I have bundled with this .ZIP.
- Those which were not written by me may require registration for continued
- use. PLEASE SUPPORT SHAREWARE AND DO SO!
-
- RECOM.EXE - Mike Loewen's ZIP file comment remover and date stamper.
-
-
- Quick Start ---
-
- * Place the LL.EXE and SETUP.EXE files into a directory which is in your
- DOS PATH.
- * UnZIP the enclosed supplemental utilities into directories in your DOS PATH.
- Make note of where you put them, you will need this information later.
- * Change to the directory containing SETUP.EXE and LL.EXE and run SETUP.
- * Fill in the following information when prompted by SETUP.EXE:
-
- - The DRIVE and PATH to the directory where rejects will be
- placed pending manual sysop inspection.
- - The date (yyyy) which will be the minimum acepted year. ZIPs
- containing files older than this will be rejected.
- - The fully qualified filename of the zip comment to add, or
- type "NONE" if you don't want to add a comment.
- - Full DRIVE:\PATH to PKZIP.EXE.
- - Full DRIVE:\PATH to PKUNZIP.EXE.
- - Full DRIVE:\PATH to TDCHECK.EXE.
- - Full DRIVE:\PATH to SCAN.EXE.
- - Full DRIVE:\PATH to RECOM.EXE.
- (I need these spelled out becuase the method I am using
- to get ERRORLEVELS returned to the program requires it.)
- - A list, each on one line, of files which you wish deleted
- from .ZIP's before posting. This could include the famous
- "READMEOR.DIE", "BBS.AD", or other unwanted advertising.
-
- Sample LL.CFG file:
-
- M:\HOLD
- 1990
- C:\EXE\COMMENT.CMT
- C:\ZIP\PKZIP.EXE
- C:\ZIP\PKUNZIP.EXE
- C:\ZIP\TDCHECK.EXE
- C:\DIAGS\SCAN.EXE
- C:\EXE\RECOM.EXE
- ANNOYING.BBS
- README.TOO
-
-
- * That's it... Now run LL.EXE against any .ZIP file or files, and
- LL will check out the file, placing any rejects in the holding directory
- you specified in the SETUP process above. You DO NOT have to be in the
- directory containing LabLocal.Cfg, I'll find it...
-
-
-
- This program was written in QuickBasic 4.5, with some help from Hammerly
- Computing's ProBas 4.01. I have also included a few utilities which LL
- will use in the course of testing. These utilities are the property of the
- authors, and you are strongly requested to register them if you continue to
- use LL.EXE. There is no registration required for LL itself, nor for
- any of the little utilities included which were written by me.
