-
- 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.
