SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
QUICK START
To start-up SHEZ simply enter "SHEZ [d:\path\filespec]". You may
specify wild cards in the filespec. If you use wild cards in the
filespec SHEZ will present you with a scrollable list of files
that it found matching the filespec. SHEZ recognizes the special
filename.fileext of $.$. If you specify a filespec of $.$ SHEZ
will list only the files having an extension of .ARC, .ZIP, and
.LZH.
Also included in the file list will be any directories that SHEZ
found. The directory names will be enclosed in greater than and
less than symbols. I.E. <DIR1>. You can position the highlite
bar on a directory name and press the enter key to view the files
and directories that are contained in that directory. To move up
one level in the directory tree highlite the directory entry that
appears as <..>. As you change directories the full
disk:\pathname will be displayed on the main screen. In addition
the disk:\path that will receive extracted files is also
displayed on the main screen. You can than choose the file you
wish to work on by moving the highlite bar with the cursor keys
and pressing the enter key. SHEZ will then present you with a
screen showing the contents of the ZIP or ARC file.
To perform a function, simply position the highlight bar and
press the key(s) that corresponds to the function you want to
perform on that member. Pressing the F1 key will open a window
giving you context sensitive help.
SHEZ also has a builtin menuing system. To astivate the menu
system press the forward slash key. A menu bar will appear at
the top of the screen. Usings the left and right cursor keys you
may select major menu item. Press the enter key to view the
choices under the menu item. Using the up and down cursor keys
you may choose an action item and then press the enter key to
perform that item. Pressing the ESC key will take you back one
level. Keep pressing the ESC key to exit the menu system.
There are two functions that can only be activated via the
menuing system. Printing a file contained in a ZIP or ARC file,
and setting the default compressing factor. There are no hots
keys associated with these functions.
Starting with release 3.03 SHEZ will optionally swap 90% of its
code out of memory when you:
1) Shell to DOS
2) Execute the edit function.
3) Run a program contained in a compressed file.
- 2 -
SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
This allows you to run most programs from within SHEZ without
running out of memory. The swapping routine was developed by
Curtis Little and works very nicely as well as being fast. The
default for SHEZ is not to use this swapping function. However
this can be changed via the configuration program. The swapping
function will swap as much of SHEZ as possible out of DOS memory
and into either EMS (3.2 or 4.0) memory or to the currently
active default disk.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE RUNNING A SYSTEM WITHOUT A HARD DISK OR
WITHOUT EMS MEMORY DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS OPTION.

SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
MOUSE SUPPORT
Beginning with release 3.4 SHEZ has built in support for a Mouse.
SHEZ uses the mouse to simulate keyboard entry of commands. The
Mouse functions provided are:
1) LEFT BUTTON
Toggle the tagged status of the highlighted file.
(Same as pressing the space bar)
2) RIGHT BUTTON
Simulate the ESC key being pressed.
3) BOTH BUTTONS
Activate the built in menu system.
(Same as pressing the / key)
4) DOUBLE CLICK THE RIGHT OR LEFT BUTTON
Simulate the ENTER key.
5) Moving the mouse up and down will simulate pressing the
up and down
cursor keys.
6) Moving the mouse right and left will simulate pressing
the right
and left cursor keys.
The configuration program (SHEZCFG) will ask if you want to use
the built in mouse support routines. If you respond N you may
than use any of the available mouse support routines that have
been written by other people that uses the mouse menu.com
program.

SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
CONVERTING FILES
Shez has the ability to convert one, or a group of tagged files,
from one format to another. First you must get the file or files
you want to convert to appear in the filelist window on the left
side of the screen. The eaisest way to do this is to start up
SHEZ and specify on the command line either *.*, *.ZIP, or *.ARC.
Then using the cursor keys highlight the file you want to convert
and then press the ALT-V key to convert the file. If you
highlight a ZIP file it will be converted into an ARC file. If
you highlight an ARC file it will be converted into a ZIP file.
The new file will be placed on the same disk and directory that
the orginial file was on.
To convert numerous files start up SHEZ as above and use the
cursor keys to highlight the files you want to convert, then
press the space bar to TAG these files. After all files have
been tagged press CTRL-V to convert all TAGGED files. All taggee
ZIP files will be converted to ARC files, and all tagged ARC
files will be converted to ZIP files.
- 11 -
SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SHEZ will recognize the following environment variables if they
are
set:
BIOS This will force SHEZ to use BIOS for writting to the
screen.
MONO This will force SHEZ to run in monochrome mode.
SHEZEX You can set this variable to the disk and path where you
want SHEZ to write extrated file to. You can reset this
default at any time by using the ALT-P command.
Examples:
SET BIOS=Y
SET MONO=Y
SET SHEZEX=D:\WORK
(This tells SHEZ to write extracted files onto the D
disk in the \work directory. You can change this at any
time after executing SHEZ by using the ALT-P command.)
The environment variables BIOS and MONO will override the BIOS
and MONO parameters that were entered via the configuration
program.
- 12 -
SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
THE SHEZFG PROGRAM
Starting with release 3.02 of SHEZ the configuration file
SHEZ.CFG is no longer needed. The SHEZCFG program directly
modifies the SHEZ.EXE program. The configuration program SHEZCFG
and the SHEZ program now come as a matched set. YOU MUST USE THE
CORRECT CONFIGURATION PROGRAM OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
CUSTOMIZE SHEZ.
Beginning with release 2.01 of SHEZ the configuration program
will present you with an initial menu. Enter one of the
highlighted letters that appears on the menu to set the
configuration parameters that fall under the indicated catagory.
New items that can be set during configuration are:
1) Use the BIOS for screen writing.
2) Indicate if you are using a Monochrome monitor.
3) Set default ZIP compression factors.
4) Enter a full Disk:\Directory name for all externally called
programs.
(I.E. PKZIP, PKUNZIP, LIST, etc.)
5) Indicate if you want exploding windows or not.
The configuration program will allow you to modify SHEZ'S default
color setting, tell SHEZ the name of the ZIP or ARC program, the
name of extract program, customize the number of file per ZIP or
ARC file SHEZ can handle, customize the number of files per
directory SHEZ can handle, specify a work disk to use when
viewing and executing file from an ZIP or ARC file, and specify a
DEARCing program to use when converting ARC files to ZIP files.
When you start up SHEZ it records the current disk and directory.
When you view or execute a file from an ZIP or ARC file SHEZ
temporarily extracts the file onto the current disk and
directory. This works fine as long as the current disk is your
hard disk. However if your current disk is a floppy and there is
not enough room on the floppy to build the extracted file than
SHEZ will not let you view or execute the file. To get around
this use the configuration program and when the prompt:
ENTER WORK DISK DRIVE LETTER TO USE WHEN VIEWING/RUNNING FILE->
appears enter the disk drive letter of your hard disk or of your
second floppy disk drive. SHEZ will then use this disk to build
the temporary extract files and will delete them when you are
finished viewing or running the selected file from the ZIP or
ARC.
When running under EGA or VGA you can tell SHEZ to go into 43
line mode for EGA'S, and 43 or 50 line mode for VGA's. This is
done via the configuration program.

SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
| Beginning with release 3.7 of SHEZ you may now tell SHEZ the
| files to search for when you use the wildcard filespec of $.$.
| The configuration program will ask you to enter the file
| extension to search for when you enter a filespec of $.$. The
| defaults are .ARC,.ZIP,.LZH. If you wish to modify these
| defaults enter the extensions, along with the preceeding dot, and
| seperate each extension with a comma.

SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
| CLONING THE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
| Beginning with release 3.7 of SHEZ there is an option that allows
| you to write out a configuration file (SHEZ.CFG) that will be
| used by the configuration program, SHEZCFG, to copy your
| configuration information from your current version of SHEZ to
| the next version of SHEZ. To perform the clonning operation do
| the following steps:
| 1. Start up the SHEZ program with no parameters.
| 2. When the file list window appears press the ALT-W keys. This
| will write out the current SHEZ configuration information
| into a file named SHEZ.CFG onto the current disk and
| directory.
| 3. Unpack all files from the new version of SHEZ onto the disk
| and directory where the SHEZ.CFG file exists.
| 4. Rename the old SHEZ.EXE program file to SHEZ.OLD
| 5. Run the SHEZCFG program.
| 6. You will be asked the name of the program to modify, the
| default is SHEZ.EXE. Press the enter key and the following
| message should appear at the top of the screen:
| CONFIGURATION INFORMATION FROM FILE SHEZ.CFG BEING USED
| 7. Press the enter key to display the configuration menu.
| 8. Select the Save configuration information option, and your
| new copy of SHEZ will be updated with your old configuration
| information.
| 9. Delete the SHEZ.CFG file.

SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
SHEZ achives fast screen updates buy writing directly to video
buffer memory. If your machine is not 100% compatible you can
force SHEZ to use BIOS routines to update the screen. This is
accomplished by setting an environment variable BIOS equal to Y.
I.E. SET BIOS=Y. Do this before executing SHEZ.
For monochrome monitors a similar method is employed set the
environment variable MONO equal to Y. I.E. SET MONO=Y.
Please let me know how you like SHEZ.

SHEZ VERSION 3.7 USER MANUAL
SHEZ HISTORY
| v3.7 Added ALT-W command to write configuration
| information to file SHEZ.CFG. This file will be used
| by the SHEZCFG program to copy configuration
| information from old version of SHEZ to newer
| versions.
| Modified SHEZCFG allowing users to specify the file
| extensions to look for when the wildcard filespec of
| $.$ is specified.
| Modified the view function.
| Modified the SHEZCFG program to prompt for allowing
| user to exit to DOS.
v3.6 Changed the hot keys for converting archive files.
ALT-C is now ALT-V, and CTRL-C is now CTRL-V. This
was done to eliminate confusion.
The working directory SHEZ builds and uses when
viewing files is now built as a subdirectory of the
directory that SHEZ is started in. This allows SHEZ
to be run on networks.
SHEZ no longer relys on the file extension to
determine the kind of archive file that has been
selected. An archive file can not have any file
extension.
SHEZ now supports the special filespec of $.$. This
filespec tells SHEZ to only list file with a file
entension of .ARC, .ZIP, and .LZH.
v3.5 Added support for password encrypted files.
Added support for the LHARC program.
v3.4 Added mouse support routines.
Corrected processing of the END key.
Corrected the problem with programs that use a
blinking attribute.
Allowed the use of the ALT-P command at any time.
Corrected some information in the compressed file
information window.
Corrected a bug in the memory swapping routine.
v3.3 Added memory swapping ability.
