Using ZC
--------
[d:][path]ZCP [options]
Valid Options Are:
-Z<zipfile> .ZIP file or files to comment (.ZIP extension assumed)
This option is required. This specified the files to be processed.
Standard DOS wildcards are accepted, and the default extension of ".ZIP" is
assumed when none is given.
-C<comment> Text file that contains the comment to be inserted
This option is also required. This is the full path and filename of
the text file that contains the comment you wish inserted into the .ZIP
file. You should note that comment files can be no bigger than 65,500
bytes, although PKZIP (Registered trademark of PKWare, Inc.) for some
reason sometimes will not display correctly comments longer than 20 lines.
You may wish to take this into account. DOS wildcards are NOT allowed
here.
-B<mm/dd/yy> Date before which no files will be commented
Using this option will cause all files with a file date before the
one specified to be ignored.
-E<mm/dd/yy> Date after which no files will be commented
Using this option will cause all files with a file date after the
one specified to be ignored.
-L Leave file date alone (keep existing)
Using this option will tell ZC PLUS to not change the file date, and
instead to keep the one that was on the .ZIP file before it was commented.
-S Skip file if comment already exists
This option was requested by a local sysop, although I don't know the
purpose of it. If the current file being checked already has a ZIP
comment, ZC PLUS will quit there and start on the next file, if there is
one.
-F Filter out Ctrl-Z if one exists at EOF
Some text files have a Ctrl-Z, or Eof-Of-File marker on the end.
PKZIP will display this if it is in the comment. If you wish ZC PLUS to
filter out the Ctrl-Z IF THERE IS ONE then use this option.
-D<mm/dd/yy> Date to set commented files to
If you wish to set all commented files to a certain date, then use
this option.
Examples
--------
ZCP -Z* -CCOMMENT.FIL
This executes ZC PLUS, with the command to process all files with
the extension .ZIP, and replace the existing comment (if any) with the
comment contained in COMMENT.FIL.
E:\UTILITY\ZCP -ZC:\DOWNLOAD\A*.ZIP -CAUTOEXEC.BAT -F
This executes ZCP.EXE, assuming it is on drive E: and in directory
UTILITY, with the command to process all .ZIP files that start with A in
their filename, replacing the existing comment (if any) with all the
text contained in AUTOEXEC.BAT in the current directory. This will also
filter out a Ctrl-Z from AUTOEXEC.BAT if there is one.
