FV - Verbose Archive Directory Lister
Version 1.22 - September 9, 1989
Purpose: To display the names and attributes of files contained
within archive files with extensions of ARC, ZIP, PAK,
DWC, LZH, ZOO, LBR and most self-extracting .COM and .EXE
files created by ARC, ZIP, PAK, LZH.
*** SHARC v8.77 - The SHell for ARC's ***
SHARC is a shell program to make viewing and working with ARC files
user friendly. It is written in TURBOC with some screen I/O routines
written in ASM. In order for SHARC to function you must have Phil
Katz's PKARC and PKXARC (or PKPAK/PKUNPAK) programs, and Vern Buerg's
LIST program. The latter is on this same disk, the former -among others-
on volume 2948.

ARC by Systems Enhancement Associates (SEA)

PAK by NoGate Consulting
PKZIP/PKUNZIP by PKWare (Phil Katz)
LHARC by Haruyasu Yoshizaki
All of these are outstanding systems and each have their own specific
merits. New-Ware has no vested interest in the commercial success of
any of these systems and does not recommend one over the other. It is
recommended that archive file users evaluate each of these systems,
select the one(s) closest to meeting archival needs, and registering
that product(s). All, except ARCA and LHARC, are Shareware products and
available from various sources, including Bulletin Board Systems around
the country. LHARC (.LZH files) is a freely distributed program.
ArcMaster 4.35 supports all of these systems in an effort to provide an
effective archive system visual user interface for the broadest range of
users.
It is the responsibility of the user to thoroughly read
and
understand the documentation included with whichever archive systems are
in use. For example, the ZIP system provides a means for specifying a
drive as the default for creating temporary files. This feature is
important when archiving/unarchiving from/to floppy disks.
ArcMaster is a full-featured visual interface program designed
facilitate the operation of archive systems in the PCDOS/MSDOS
environment. By itself, ArcMaster WILL NOT perform any file compression
or decompression. At least one of the support systems must be present
before ArcMaster becomes useful. With one or more of the five supported
archive systems present, ArcMaster will make the creation, modification,
and unarchiving of archive files much easier and faster. It is menu-
driven and employs a "point and shoot" style method of controlling major
archiving operations.
*** Documentation for IDCshell.EXE ***
IDCshell is the grandchild of B29.COM (first released Sept.
1985), a CP/M utility that was very similar to IDCshell and
handled LBR files. Many of the features of IDCshell were
taken from the original DOS version of B29, which I never
released. The directory tree routine is a complete rewrite of
IDCTREE.COM, which was released in late '86.
In conjunction with ARC it is a fullscreen un-Archiving system,
also acting as a DOS shell. This version is an update of volume
2937.
