- Repacking
- ---------
-
- Repacking is now fully implemented. You need to have a copy of Robert K.
- Jungs's "REARJ" (V2.24 or later) to use it. Get a most recent copy of ARJ
- from a bulletin board system. You may as well already have it.
-
- It is also possible to use any other type of repacker, just enter the
- correct name and command line parameters in HERALD.CFG accompanied by
- all errorlevels and a short description.
-
- Put "REARJ.EXE" and "REARJ.CFG" in a directory where you DOS path points
- to. You should use the "REARJ.CFG"-file I have supplied. It has been edited
- to allow repacking of *.LHA (Amiga-LHARC) files and archives of the new
- squeeze packer (*.SQZ), too. Also - at least for ARJ - a critical error
- handler is installed (ARJ command line option "-&") which prevents your
- system of hanging.
-
- Also it has been set up to call MacAfee's SCAN, thus every new upload will
- be repacked to your favourite archive type and scanned internally for
- viruses.
-
- When such a repacking fails (pack or unpack errors, viruses detected),
- the archive will be moved to the trashpath where you can check what has
- happened. Archives with unkown extensions will be left alone (e.g. *.JPG).
-
- Take care when using a different repacker, because if an unkown errorlevel
- comes up the file will be trashed, too - even if it is an "okay" message!
- Read HERALD.DOC prior to changing anything.
-
- NOTE:
-
- There is a demo config for ZZAP in the REPACK directory. If you use a differ-
- ent repacker, I'd be delighted if you could send it to me. I will distribute
- it with Herald and at least your name will be in lights :-))
