REM-ADS.EXE (c) - Version 3.2
(c) 1992, Michael H. Knoll - Star Systems
Compiled 12/12/92
-----------------------------------------------
REM-ADS.EXE (c) is Shareware. You may distribute the full original
archive freely under the condition that no modifications are made to it.
This program, quite simply, removes bulletin board advertisements from
.ZIP (c) files, clearing up much needed space. I ran this program on my
bulletin board upload drive, which was 165 Megs of data and REM-ADS (c)
removed 15 Megs of other bulletin board advertisements. The program uses
PKZIP (c), ARJ (c) and STRIPAV, so you will need these programs in your path.
File needed by REM-ADS Version 3.1 :
------------------------------------
REM-ADS.EXE - of course the main program.
* REM-ADS.LST - the file containing the list of BBS ads
to be removed.
* REM-ADS.CMT - the file containing the new zip comment.
(c)ARJ.EXE - used to physically remove the ads from the
.ARJ archived files. (NEEDS TO BE IN PATH)
(c)PKZIP.EXE - used to physically remove the ads from the
.ZIP archived files. (NEEDS TO BE IN PATH)
STRIPAV.EXE - used to remove the authenticity verification
flag from the .ZIP (c) files. Packaged with
REM-ADS (c) Version 3.1
Please not that the files with an asterisk next to them are totally user
configurable. Any new ads that you may want removed, will have to be placed
into the REM-ADS.LST.
Command line options of REM-ADS.EXE (c) is as follows :
-------------------------------------------------------
/i - Initialize. - Used on the command line
alone, will prompt you for the directory
name that REM-ADS.LST resides in and allow
you to input your serial number and
registered name.
/a d: - All Drive x. - Allows the user to specify
which drive to process. REM-ADS.EXE (c)
will process the full drive, all
directories on the drive.
/s d:\dir\filename.ZIP - Single File x. - Allows the user to
process only a single file (filename),
if you have two files with the same name
but different extensions (either ARJ or
ZIP only) then you would want to specify
the actual name of the file. This is
great for bulletin boards for new uploads.
Please note that this option is only
available in registered versions.
Please note : You may not use /a & /s at the same time.
Registered users can use their same registration information with
REM-ADS 3.2 that came with version 3.1.
Registration for REM-ADS.EXE (c) will be available by mail only, by the
order form attached to the end of this document.
