- Purpose:
-
- ZiPSHoT is a program I wrote after getting tired of making
- directories and un-archiveing new files to them to test them and
- see if they are something I am interested in. ZiPSHoT will think
- up a directory name for you, create it, and send the contents of
- the archive files there. All steps are monitored by you, and you
- can edit along the way.
-
- Quick, simple, fast and pretty, ZiPSHoT is a downloaders dream
- come true. You'll be able to unzip a dir with twenty zips in it, all
- in thier own respective dirs, in the time it would take to do ONE
- in DOS! (Unless ya type real, real, fast. -heheh.)
-
- ZiPSHoT will also let the sysop easily and quickly check out
- new files, with just a few keystrokes (None if he has a mouse).
- ZiPSHoT could also be used to expedite un-archiveing to a RAM disk
- or restoration from a floppy. Make sets of diskettes from zips with
- only a few clicks! The list of uses is as long as your imagination!
-
-
- Included Files:
-
- Z2 .EXE - ZiPSHoT 2.12. . . . . . . (Rename if you like.)
- Z212DOCS.TXT - This file . . . . . . . . (Read, then delete.)
- FILE_ID .DIZ - Description file. . . . . . . . . . . (Delete.)
-
-
- Usage:
-
- 1 - Put Z212.EXE somewhere in your PATH.
-
- 2 - Move to the Directory where your Zips are stored.
-
- 3 - Make sure you have the file(s) "PKUNZIP.EXE", "ARJ.EXE",
- "PAK.EXE", or "LHA.EXE" in your PATH.
- (You need only the Archiver(s) you work with.)
-
- 4 - Run "Z212.EXE".
-
- 5 - ZiPSHoT allows you to pick from a list of files in the
- directory, and tag them to be un-archived.
-
- 6 - ZiPSHoT suggests a name for a directory to un-archive each
- file to, based on the name of the archive file.
-
- 7 - ZiPSHoT will allow you to edit the directory name for each file.
-
- 8 - ZiPSHoT creates the directory and un-archives the file to it.
-
-
- Notes-n-Tips:
-
- * ZiPSHoT works great with multiple file sets ie: It will suggest
- the same dir name "SOFTW" for both "SOFTW-1.ZIP" and "SOFTW-2.ZIP".
-
- * ZiPSHoT includes the -d parameter for PKUNZIP and the full path options
- in LHA and ARJ, so that if there are directories stored in the archived
- files, they will be produced.
-
- * ZiPSHoT does not check for drive space so make sure you have
- enough space to unarchive what you want before you fire up ZiPSHoT.
-
- * ZiPSHoT supports the following archive programs.
-
- PKZIP[tm](C) - Pkware [ZIP]
- LHA (C) - Yoshi [LZH]
- ARJ (C) - Robert K. Jung [ARJ]
- PAK (C) - Nogate Consulting
-
- * You must have the archive programs that you use in your PATH or
- in the current directory, and they MUST be named as follows.
-
- "LHA.EXE" - For .LZH files.
- "PKUNZIP.EXE" - For .ZIP files.
- "ARJ.EXE" - For .ARJ files.
- "PAK.EXE" - For .PAK and .SDN files.
-
- * You can clear one file at the time from the selected files box
- by double-clicking or by pressing enter on it.
-
-
- * ZiPSHoT will now view FILE_ID.DIZ files.
