* ZIP-KIT5 Companion to PKZ092.EXE { 03/20/89 }
TOZIP.EXE *.*
This program will convert all archives to the new ZIP format for you.
It will recurse all archives in archives to an unlimited depth until
all archives are converted to the ZIP format and extension.
You must have in your possesion a copy of PKZIP.EXE and a copy of
PKUNPAK.EXE. Both of these executables must reside on your DOS path
and have attributes that are NOT read only.
Options needed to run - none - (default compression -ex (Intelligent))
Options available to run - SET ZIPLEVA=n (Where n is 1,2,3 or 4)
SET ZIPLEVB=n (Where n is 1,2,3 or 4)
SET ZIPTIME=x (Where x is ARCHIVE)
(Where x is a date - YYYYMMDD)
Starting with PKZ092.EXE is it advised to not set ZIPLEV but to allow
PKZIP itself to analyze each file encountered. If the environment
ZIPLEV(A/B) is not present an intelligent processing feature of PKZIP
will determine by analysis the best compression method for each file.
Note that ZIP-KIT2 allowed a ZIPLEV of 0. This level is no longer
supported.
ZIPLEVA=(1 thru 4) results in a compression method of REDUCING to be
applied to all ASCII files at an increasing rate of compression.
ZIPLEVB refer to ZIPLEVA options for BINARY compression level setting.
Note that each increase to n results in additional time to process files.
The benefit of an increased n level is increased storage being available
on your hard drives after all processing has completed.
ZIPTIME=ARCHIVE results in only those files which have their archive bit
set to be processed.
ZIPTIME=YYYYMMDD results in only those files dated equal to or greater
than the set date to be processed. Ex: SET ZIPTIME=19890401, results
in files dated equal to or greater than '1989 April 01' to be processed.
See PKware documentation for extra info.
If errors are encountered during processing, a file titled PKERRORS.LOG
will reside in the same directory as TOZIP. This file contains a list
of .ARC files that in someway are corrupted.
File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
Note that erred archives are not processed to .ZIP files.
ZIPCOMNT.EXE *.* comment or ZIPCOMNT.EXE *
Options needed to run - none
Options available to run
SET ZIPLINE=1
SET ZIPCOMNT=path
SET ZIPTIME=x (Where x is ARCHIVE, or x is a date YYYYMMDD)
Where comment is your desired comment to be added to ALL requested file
collections. If ZIPLINE=1 is set, the comment will be placed directly
following 'Searching ZIP: /path/ - '. If ZIPLINE is not set, the comment
will be padded with two CR's to allow a longer comment which will avoid
any possible word wrap which may occur in long path names. In this
version the comment is limited to 117 characters. It is advised that you
do however keep the comment limited to 79 characters. Experiment with a
ZIP to see the format which will be presented.
If ZIPCOMNT=path is set, ZIPLINE is then ignored. ZIPCOMNT=path is
the full drive:\path to a file which contains a desired comment. To
create a comment file use your favorite ascii editor. When complete
experiment on a ZIP to judge the presentation.
To run ZIPCOMNT with a comment file use the command ZIPCOMNT.EXE *
Ex: SET ZIPCOMNT=C:\UTIL\COMMENT.FIL
ZIPCOMNT *
See TOZIP options for ZIPTIME
SNGLCMNT.EXE filename or SNGLCMNT.EXE
This program will allow you to add informative comments to ZIP file
collections. You may either specify a filename at startup or you
may select the desired ZIP file to comment with the build in dir
search and selection routines.
REZIP.EXE *.*
This program will maintain all ZIP collections for you. It will recurse
all archives in ZIP files to an unlimited depth until all archives are
converted to the ZIP format and extension. You must have in your
possesion a copy of PKZIP.EXE and a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE and a copy of
PKUNPAK.EXE and a copy of TOZIP.EXE . These executables must reside on
your DOS path and have attributes that are NOT read only. At present
this program is aimed at offering a similar processing structure to ZIP
files, which were available for .ARC files by the predecessor of this
program REARC.
Options needed to run - none
Options available to run - SET ZIPKILL=ALL or ARC
If ZIPKILL=ALL is SET an extra call to PKZIP is make which effectively
equals PKZIP -d zipname *.arc *.bak ibmio.com ibmdos.com io.sys msdos.sys
If ZIPKILL=ARC is set then the above mentioned extra step takes place
but with only one parameter, 'arc'.
See TOZIP options for compression level available
See TOZIP options for ZIPTIME
File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
CLNZIP.EXE *.* file/s_to_delete
Allows selective deletes of unwanted files from selected ZIP files.
See TOZIP options for ZIPTIME
CHKZIP.EXE *.*
Options needed to run - none
Options available to run - SET ZIPKILL= (any thing)
SET ZIPTIME= (See TOZIP options)
To check integrity of your ZIP collection files. See PKERRORS.LOG
for files reported erred. Note that warnings are also posted to
PKERRORS.LOG as ERROR IN FILE.
If ZIPKILL is set to any setting, erred file collections are then
deleted when errors or warnings are encountered. A list of those
files deleted will be listed in PKERRORS.LOG. If you do not wish to
utilize this option then do not SET this variable.
* All programs are network compatible
* Note that .LOG file may be present after run of CHKZIP, CLNZIP, REZIP
or TOZIP. They are meant to be used at a later date by yourself.
The final .LOG file is processed into the directory where the .EXE
of the program run is located.
* If you must abort the programs as they are running then use
CTRL/BREAK (ONE TIME)
External processes must be allowed to complete for CTRL/BREAK to be
picked up. If you must CTRL/BREAK, the need to delete .$$$ entries
may be required.
* Process speed is dependent on system in use. Set times can vary
due to system technology, compression levels SET in ZIPLEVA/B and the
number of files to be processed.
* Sample setup files
For config.sys
shell=command.com/p/e:512
files=30
For autoexec.bat
path=c:\pkwares;c:\dos
set ziptime=archive { only files with archive bit set }
set zipleva=1 { REDUCING on ASCII }
set ziplevb=4 { REDUCING on BINARY at the highest level }
tozip c:\files\*.*
set zipleva= { remove ziplev(a/b) from environment so
set ziplevb= next process uses intelligent processing }
set ziptime=19890401 { only files dated >= 1989 April 01 }
tozip d:\files\*.*
set zipcomnt=c:\comment.fil
zipcomnt * { comment files dated later that 19890401
with contents of c:\comment.fil }
set ziptime= { clean up environment }
set zipcomnt=
* Starting with PKZ092.EXE is it advised to not set ZIPLEV but to allow
PKZIP itself to analyze each file encountered.
* SWEEP tozip * etc...
* If you send $47 of more, you will receive, the all new ZIP data
compression utility with better and different compression methods,
enhanced functions, and increased user friendliness.
