Library function V - Verbose File List
This command displays a list of files contianed within a compressed file.
You will be prompted for the file names that you wish to view when you
issue the "V" command. Type the desired names, separated by spaces. If
you press [ENTER] without entering a filename, you will return to the
Library Menu.
TIPS:
1. You can stack the V)iew command with the desired file name. That is,
you can enter "V <filename>" directly from the Library Menu. For
example, you could type "V RBBS-PC.ZIP" to view the contents of
RBBS-PC.ZIP.
2. You must only try to View files that are compressed with a supported
extension. RBBS-PC supports ZIP, PAK, ARC, and LZH, and the sysop has
the option to install support for others. Entering a file with an
unsupported extension, such as EXE, will return a message stating that
the view is not implemented for that file.
3. V supports only exact matches and not "wildcards". For example
"V LIST*.ZIP" will not list LIST60J.ZIP.
4. Your Sysop may optionally allow you to "peek" at files within the
compressed file. This will allow you to "browse" text files before
downloading the compressed file they are in.
