-
- Shareware can be a feasible alternative to the normal means
- of distribution but it will only work if you do send in your
- registration fee. I've spent a lot of hours working on FASTLZH 2.5
- I'm looking at this as a sort of experiment, So if you'd like to see
- further updates to FASTLZH 2.5 and other shareware programs, your
- support will make a difference!
-
- Registered users will be informed of any updates, and be the
- first to receive them when they're ready. Also, if you have
- suggestions for improving FASTLZH, your opinions will carry
- more weight if you're registered; I'll work to include any
- suggestions that seem useful. If you have an account on GEnie
- please include your user name or ID number when registering this
- is the easiest way for me to get in touch with you.
-
- Your archive should contain
-
- FASTLZH.PRG ACC
- FASTLZH.TTP
- FASTLZH.DOC
- UPDATE.DOC
-
-
- FASTLZH may be freely distributed as long as both of the
- above-mentioned files are included and unaltered. The program
- may NOT be sold.
-
-
- FASTLZH 2.5 - A program for uncompressing-compressing-testing and
- viewing .LZH archive files.
-
- FASTLZH 2.0 gem Skip to the section GEM VERSION
-
- FASTLZH is a self contained program - LHARC does not
- need to be present to extract files. It is written in 100% Assembly
- language using hisoft dev2.
-
- FASTLZH works the same way as LHARC if you already use LHARC then you
- can use FASTLZH in exactly the same way.
-
-
-
-
-
- How to Use the Program:
- -----------------------
-
- FASTLZH can be used as a ttp or tos file just rename file from
- FASTLZH.TTP to FASTLZH.TOS.
-
- As a TTP file you can enter a command line in the standard TOS alert
- box. From that point on FASTLZH will be automatic there is no more user
- input. But if for some strange reason you do not enter a command in the
- alert box FASTLZH will prompt you for your command.
-
- As a TOS file FASTLZH will prompt you for your command.
-
-
- FASTLZH works with ARCSHL21.PRG with no problems, but you can not use
- the "Include folders option" from that shell. Maybe in a future release
- of the ARCSHELL they will pass the "Z" option to LZH processing like they
- do when using ARC.
-
- FASTLZH also works with FoReM Filemanager v2.5f.
-
-
- COMMANDS
- --------
-
- x - Extract files from an LZH
- a - Add files to an LZH
- m - Move files to an LZH (same as add but files are deleted after they
- are added)
- v - Verbose Listing of the contents of an LZH file
- t - Test an LZH
-
-
- SWITCHES
- --------
-
- h - Hold screen upon completion of FASTLZH
- z - Include embedded sub-directories
-
-
- Here are some command examples....
-
-
- EXTRACTING
- ----------
-
-
- x c:\lzhfile.lzh c:\junk\*.*
-
- This command will extract all files from the lzhfile into a folder
- named JUNK, including any sub-folders that may be included in the LZH.
- If the folder JUNK is not found, it will be created for you. You do not
- need to create the output folders yourself. You also do not need to use
- the extender .LZH on your lzh filename. When the task is done FASTLZH
- will not hold the screen.
-
-
- xh c:\lzhfile c:\junk\*.*
-
- Same as above but FASTLZH will wait for keyboard input before exit.
-
-
- NOTES ON EXTRACTING FILES
- -------------------------
-
- FASTLZH will automatically create any folder needed for output.
-
- In order for FASTLZH to process embedded folders in an LZH, that
- LZH must have been created with FASTLZH v2.5 or greater. It is not
- compatable with LHARC which stores the folder information in the
- LZH in a different format.
-
-
- ADDING / MOVING
- ---------------
-
-
- ah c:\lzhfile c:\junk\*.*
-
- This command will add all files contained in the folder JUNK into
- an LZH called LZHFILE.LZH. It will not include any folders contained in
- the JUNK folder. It will then wait for a key press before exit.
-
-
- mzh c:\lzhfile c:\junk\*.*
-
- This command will add all files contained in the folder JUNK into
- an LZH called LZHFILE.LZH. It will also include all files contained in any
- folder contained in the JUNK folder and retain their folder information
- for later extraction. It will then wait for a key press before exit.
-
-
- OTHER FUNCTIONS
- ---------------
-
- vh c:\lzhfile
-
- This command will return a verbose listing of the contents of the LZH.
- It will then wait for a key press before exit.
-
-
- th c:\lzhfile
-
- This command will do a full CRC check on all files contained in the
- LZH. It basically does everything an extract does but does not write out
- any files.
-
-
- OTHER NOTES

-
- When specifying filenames you can use any standard TOS wildcard
- specification.
