- Introduction
-
- ZWiz is a set of WordPerfect 5.1 macros integrated as a full-featured
- shell for PKWARE's popular ZIP archive program. ZWiz allows for easy ZIPing
- and unZIPing of files while still in WordPerfect. Special features include
- multiple command line options and the ability to retrieve a file from inside
- a ZIP into WordPerfect. The program is menu-driven and is thus easy to use,
- though you should read this document in its entirety before executing ZWiz.
- You may wish to customize some of ZWiz's routines to fit your specific needs.
- Alteration of these macros is permitted, though distribution of your custom-
- ized version is strictly prohibited.
- In any event, please keep backups of your original documents. Neither
- the author nor Wordsetters will be held responsible for any damages resulting
- from any use of this program whatsoever.
- One other note on customization: WordPerfect Corporation is constantly
- changing its program. This version of ZWiz has been tested on the June 29,
- 1990 release of WP 5.1. Each new release requires slight modifications to
- the macros. The latest ZWiz will always be available for download from The
- Express Line BBS (FidoNet 1:370/20)--node 1: (404) 742-8313 for first-time
- callers, 2400 baud; node 2: (404) 742-7736, 9600 baud. Or you may receive a
- copy through the mail by sending a self-addressed, stamped disk mailer with
- floppy disk to the address shown above.
-
-
- System Requirements
-
- To run ZWiz you should have the following at minimum:
-
- MS-DOS version 2.0 or greater
- 640K RAM
- Hard Disk Drive C with at least 1 megabyte free
- WordPerfect 5.1
- PKZ110.EXE (Phil Katz's archive program containing PKZIP, PKUNZIP, etc.)
- FV.COM (Vernon Buerg's archive file viewer, included in the ZWiz
- archive--but see Acknowledgements/Disclaimers below for important
- information).
-
-
- Testing
-
- Zwiz has been tested on several 80286 and 80386 machines, and it has
- performed, in terms of elapsed time, comparably to other popular shells, such
- as ArcMaster and Shez. ZWiz has also been tested on a 4.77 MHz PC, and it
- has performed predictably slower. Users of such machines will have to
- determine for themselves the program's suitability for their needs.
-
-
- Automatic Installation
-
- Execute the macro ZWSETUP.WPM and follow the prompts. It's the easiest
- game in town!
-
-
- Manual Installation
-
- The distribution disk (or the archive file, if you downloaded ZWiz from
- a bulletin board) contains two internal ZIP files. The complete list of
- files is as follows:
-
- ZWIZXT.ZIP, in which are found:
-
- FV.COM Vernon Buerg's File Viewer (see Acknowledge-
- ments/Disclaimers below)
- FV.DOC Documentation for FV
- ZWTAG.WPM Allows tagging of individual files within ZIP
- ZWTAG2.WPM Allows tagging of files within ZIP; shows file comments
- ZWUZ.WPM Main macro for unZIPing files
- ZWZ.BAT General batch file for ZIPing files
- ZWIZ.WPM Main ZWiz macro
- ZWSAVE.WPM File saving routines
- ZWZ2.WPM Controls new target directory selection for ZIPing files
-
- ZWIZAT.ZIP, in which are found:
-
- FV.COM see above ╔═══════════════════════════╗
- FV.DOC see above ║ Note: The coding of these ║
- ZWTAG.WPM see above ║ duplicate files differs ║
- ZWTAG2.WPM see above ║ dramatically from the ║
- ZWUZ.WPM see above ║ above. ║
- ZWIZ.WPM see above ╚═══════════════════════════╝
- ZWSAVE.WPM see above
- ZWTASKS.WPM File handling routines
-
- Separately in the main archive are:
-
- README.1ST Setup info and version history for ZWiz
- ZWIZXT.DOC ZWiz XT complete documentation, ASCII version
- ZWIZXT.DOK ZWiz XT complete documentation, WordPerfect 5.1 version
- ZWIZAT.DOC ZWiz AT complete documentation, ASCII version
- ZWIZXT.DOK ZWiz AT complete documentation, WordPerfect 5.1 version
- ZWSETUP.WPM ZWiz installation macro
-
- All WPM files should be copied into the directory where you keep your macros
- (press Shift-F1, then 6 [location of files] to determine where these files
- should go). FV.COM should be copied to a directory specified in your boot-up
- path statement (see AUTOEXEC.BAT file)--usually the root directory (C:\).
- (Also, PKZIP & PKUNZIP must be in your path statement.) ZWiz will not
- operate unless those files are properly placed!
- Once all files are copied, I recommend that you rename or copy the main
- executable macro, ZWIZ.WPM, to a shorthand name, such as ALTZ.WPM. This
- method will allow quick execution of ZWiz. Alternatively, you may wish to
- assign ZWIZ.WPM to your favorite keyboard (WPK).
-
-
- Files Used by ZWiz
-
- As needed, ZWiz creates two temporary files, ZW{ZIP}.SET and
- ZW{CAT}.SET, in the directories affected by the command line options select-
- ed. It also creates a temporary document in Document 2 containing options
- and file list information. Do not delete or move these files while ZWiz is
- running.
-
-
- Memory Caveats
-
- ZWiz macros operate by shelling to DOS and calling PKZIP.EXE,
- PKUNZIP.EXE or FV.COM, as required. If you have a lot of TSRs (stay-resident
- programs), there may be insufficient memory to run external programs. To get
- an idea of how much memory you have available after WordPerfect is loaded,
- press Shift-F1, C (for DOS command), then CHKDSK (assuming this program is in
- your path statement). The amount of free memory will be shown in CHKDSK's
- report. If it is less than 140K, you may have difficulty running ZWiz. If
- such is the case, the only alternative is either to remove some/all of the
- TSR programs or to use one of WordPerfect's start-up option commands to limit
- the amount of work-space allotted to WordPerfect.
- If you have expanded memory, your options are more flexible, particular-
- ly if you are using an expanded memory manager, such as QEMM, which allows
- TSRs and device drivers to be loaded into high memory, thus freeing up more
- conventional memory. Even with expanded memory, you may benefit from
- limiting WordPerfect's work-space. I recommend the following command line to
- load WordPerfect:
-
- WP/w=120,*
-
- This limits WordPerfect's conventional memory work-space to 120K but allows
- it to use all available expanded memory. See the WordPerfect manual for
- other start-up options.
- Finally, if you are using a WPK file (keyboard macros) and its contents
- are large, there will be less memory available for ZWiz's use. One trick in
- this case is to edit the individual keyboard definitions so that they execute
- the needed macros rather than contain all the macro code itself. According-
- ly, to reduce keyboard memory overhead, perform the following steps:
-
- 1. Press Shift-F1 (Setup Menu)
- 2. Press K (Keyboard Layout)
- 3. Press 7 (Edit--assuming the cursor rests on the keyboard you
- wish to edit)
- 4. Move the cursor to whatever entry you wish to change and press
- A (Action). If the screen appearing next contains the com-
- plete macro (i.e., the entry does not already simply call
- another macro), this definition is a prime candidate for
- change.
- 5. Press F7 to get back to the list of key definitions.
- 6. With the cursor on the desired entry, press S (Save). You
- will be prompted for a macro name. Enter whatever name you
- wish.
- 7. Press A (Action) again to edit the contents.
- 8. Hold down the Del key until all the macro code is deleted.
- (If the macro is very long, you may go back to the definition
- list, delete the item from the menu and simply create it
- anew.)
- 9. Press Alt-F10, enter the name of the macro you just saved.
- Finally, press Ctrl-V ENTER. As an example, suppose we had
- just saved the contents to a macro called NEWMAC.WPM. Your
- screen should now show the following string:
-
- {Macro}newmac{Enter}
-
- This short string requires less memory but the needed macro is
- still available from the same keystrokes.
-
-
- ZIP Wizard Error Handling
-
- Every effort has been made to make ZWiz safe to operate. If you will
- follow the prompts, you will have no problem. Nevertheless, a few pitfalls
- should be mentioned up-front:
-
- 1. Do not press any keys that aren't called for in the prompts,
- especially when in a file list display. Even though a lot of error
- handling code has been programmed into ZWiz, there are a few
- situations in which WordPerfect inhibits the ability to handle
- error situations.
-
- 2. If, for any reason, ZWiz aborts an operation, leaving text on the
- screen, simply delete the text and start anew.
-
- 3. Again, keep backups of your files, especially until you are thor-
- oughly familiar with the way ZWiz operates.
-
- 4. A maximum of three files at a time can be tagged for extraction
- while in the contents list of any ZIP file (however, files tagged
- for deletion may be any number). This is not the author's limita-
- tion. The limit is imposed by WordPerfect, which will allow only
- 59 characters on the "DOS Commands" command line; it is also a
- limit of the PKUNZIP program (which, unlike PKZIP, does not allow
- the creation of an ASCII file containing a list of files to
- process).
-
-
- Keystroke Rules
-
- In all ZWiz prompts for ZIP filename entry, whether for ZIP or unZIP,
- there is never any need to type the ZIP extension. This is understood by the
- program.
- IMPORTANT! Turn your CAPS LOCK off! ZWiz will accept only lower case
- letters for its menu options.
-
-
- Zip Wizard Operation
-
- Assuming all installation is complete: To begin ZIPing or unZIPing
- files, execute ZWIZ.WPM (or whatever name you've given it). ZWiz will first
- verify that Document 2 is empty. If not, you are shown the following message:
-
- Document 2 must be empty to run ZWiz.
- Please save or remove file from memory
- and restart macro. Press ENTER to continue.
-
- When the above condition is satisfied, the file list of the current directory
- displays with the ZWiz initial menu, a typical sample of which is shown in
- figure 1:

-
- Go DIR: Pressing G will allow you to change the file directory and will
- show the following prompt:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓ Enter drive letter to change to: ▓▓▓▓▓
-
- Then you are asked to type in the directory name:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓ Enter directory to change to (omit \), press ENTER ▓▓▓▓▓
-
- Important! When this prompt appears, do not type the leading \ character
- before the main directory name. The necessary backslash characters are
- already in the program. However, if you wish to log onto a subdirectory, you
- would type that character between directory and subdirectory. The following
- examples demonstrate the proper syntax:
-
- For changing to a new directory on a hard disk:
-
- Incorrect: \wpfiles
- \wpfiles\letters
-
- Correct: wpfiles
- wpfiles\letters
-
- Exception to the rule: If the prompt requests full pathname, then the
- \ character should be included.
-
- For changing to a floppy disk, simply press ENTER when the prompt for
- directory appears.
-
- New Target DIR: This sets the drive and directory into which the ZIP
- file will go. For example, it is possible to tag files in the current
- directory and place the resulting ZIP file in another directory. After
- pressing e, you are shown the following prompt:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓···········Please·choose·a·number:···············▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓·1.·Type·in·full·pathname·(e.g.,·D:\ARCHIVE)·····▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓·2.·Look·at·directories,·then·type·full·pathname·▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
-
- If you choose 1, you are prompted for drive and directory. If you choose 2,
- you are given the following:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓·Use·arrow·&·return·keys·to·move·around·directories,·▓▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓·press·F7·when·ready·to·choose·target·directory······▓▓▓▓▓▓
-
- A few words of caution are in order regarding change of target directory:
- Common sense must be used. If, for example, you wanted to "view comments,"
- you would not want the target directory changed, as this option will view,
- not extract files. Likewise, you would not change the target directory if
- you wanted to delete files from a ZIP archive.
- This document assumes you are already familiar with PKZIP command
- parameters. If not, you would be wise to review them. Of course, you may
- routinely need only a few of the ZIP (or unZIP) options. Most users will
- stick to ZIP options a, f, s, and m; and to unZIP options a, n, and o
- (discussed later).
-
- 1. Path: temporarily removes the top menu and shows your current
- drive/directory:
-
- You·are·here:·=============>
-
- Press·ENTER·to·continue
-
- 2. UnZIP Menu: takes you to the UnZIP options menu (figure 5 below).
-
- 3. File Tasks: When called, this menu will allow basic file handling
- such as copy/move/delete, etc. (see File Tasks section below).
-
- Begin ZIP: This is the key to make it go! Once you have selected all
- the options and tagged all the files you need, press this key to begin the
- ZIP operation.
-
- Movement: Arrow keys; PgUp-PgDn: These function exactly in the same
- manner as the normal WordPerfect keys.
-
- Find File: Pressing i will allow you to move the cursor quickly to the
- needed file in the directory list. The following prompt appears:
-
- Type name to search for, press ENTER
-
- Help: Allows you to search for the topic you need help with (online
- help not available in the shareware version, though the DOK & DOC files
- included in the ZWiz archive contain complete information).
-
- Exit/F1: Pressing either the x or F1 keys will exit ZWiz. Please note
- also that the F1 (cancel) key can be used at any point in ZWiz to cancel the
- current operation.
-
- Listmask: Sometimes you will not want to wade through a long file list.
- You may, through the use of wildcards (*), select the file specifications you
- need to see. Pressing l will first give you the following options:
-
- ▓▓▓ Please choose filename pattern: ▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓ 1. *.zip 2. *.doc 3. *.txt 4. *.wpm 5. *.* 6. Other (you type) ▓▓▓
-
- ENTER views ZIP: To view a ZIP file, simply move the cursor to the file
- and press ENTER. The directory of the ZIP will promptly display.
-
- 6 Looks: To view a non-ZIP file, move the cursor to the file and press
- 6.
-
- * tags: To tag a file for ZIPing (do not tag a file with the ZIP
- extension unless you want it added to the archive), move the cursor to the
- file and press *. The file will be added to a list for processing (which may
- be reviewed at any time--see Bottom Menu, item y below). Note that only the
- last file you tagged will appear with the * in the directory list, but all
- tagged files will be shown in the y options display.
-
- Alt-F5 tags all. This assumes that you want every file in the current
- directory added to a ZIP file. Before selecting this operation, be sure to
- choose the needed option(s) (see Bottom Menu below).
-
- - untags under cursor. If you wish to untag a file from the processing
- list, move the cursor to the file and press -.
-
-
- Bottom Menu
-
- A brief synopsis of the ZIP Options shown at the bottom of the directory
- display (figure 2) is as follows:
-
- a. add: Will add all tagged files to the designated ZIP file. If the
- ZIP file already exists in the current directory, all non-ZIP files will be
- placed in that ZIP archive.
-
- c. comment files: Will prompt you to add new comments, or to change old
- ones, to each file within the designated ZIP archive. This is different from
- the z option, which adds a comment to the general ZIP file name, not to its
- individual files.
-
- d. delete w/comments: Pressing d prompts you for a filename and then
- retrieves the directory of the designated ZIP file, asking you (figure 3) to
- tag the file(s) you wish to delete from the archive. This is the same as s
- below, except the directory of the ZIP file is displayed with comments, if
- any, which you have attached to the files within the archive. Please note
- that if the ZIP archive contains many files, it could take up to 25 seconds
- (depending on your computer's speed) before you see the directory display.

- Figure 3. Sample File Tagging Screen.
-
- s. delete w/o comments: Retrieves the directory of the designated ZIP
- file and prompts you (figure 3) to tag the file(s) you wish to delete from
- the archive. This is the same as d, except that the comments column will not
- appear (this method is thus a little quicker).
-
-
- f. freshen: Unlike other ZWiz functions, it is not necessary to tag
- files before selecting this option. Freshening updates files that already
- exist in the ZIP file with same-named files with later times and dates. When
- f is pressed, the following prompts displays:
-
- Type name of file to freshen, press ENTER
-
- k. keep same date: The current ZIP file date is kept no matter what the
- dates of the files added to it are.
-
- m. move: The tagged files are deleted from disk after being compressed
- and copied into the ZIP archive.
-
- o. set to latest: The ZIP file date is set to the date of the newest
- file within it.
-
- u. update: The existing ZIP file will be updated with files only if they
- are not currently in the ZIP file, or if they are dated later than those with
- the same name already in the ZIP file.
-
- v. view w/comments: Unlike pressing ENTER to view a ZIP, this option
- displays the directory of the chosen archive file(s) and also shows any
- comments written for those files. It is possible to view more than one file
- from a single directory by typing an asterisk (*) when prompted for a
- filename. Do not include the ZIP extension.
-
- z. ZIP comment: Adds a comment to the general ZIP file, not to the
- files contained within.
-
- y. Reset options/files: Pressing y will immediately display the current
- tagged file list, the options chosen, and show you the target directory. You
- will also see a menu at the bottom which allows you to reset options and
- files. A sample screen is shown below (figure 4):
-
-
- Options: -m
- Files:
- TEXT1.DOC
- TEXT2.DOC
- TEXT3.DOC
-

-
- Target destination is c:\document

- Please choose a number:
- 1. Reset options; 2. Reset file list; 3. Reset both; 4. Leave as is
-
- Figure 4. Reset Options/Files Menu.
-
-
- 4. Make SX: This option converts an existing ZIP file to an EXE file
- (self-extracting archive). It is not necessary to tag the ZIP filename; you
- are prompted for the name immediately after pressing 4.
-
-
- Sample ZIP Session
-
- First let's assume we have a file (TRASH.CAN) in the current directory
- (C:\JUNK) which we want to add to the ZIP file (OZONE.ZIP) located in another
- drive and directory (D:\RECYCLE):
-
- ZWIZ.WPM is executed and the menu in figure 2 displays (with a
- different file list, of course).
-
- Use the arrow keys to move to the file TRASH.CAN.
-
- Press *
-
- The file is tagged and placed in the Files list (as in figure ?),
- after which the directory is redisplayed.
-
- Press a
-
- This places the proper PKZIP option parameter in the Options list
- (as in figure 4).
-
- NOTE: Sometimes the letter shown in the Options field will differ
- from the letter you pressed at the Options Menu. This is because
- of conflicts between PKZIP parameters and the available ZWiz menu
- options. You need only know that ZWiz will issue the proper
- command to PKZIP or to PKUNZIP, as the case may be.
-
- Press e
-
- The prompt appears (figure ?)
-
-
- Press 1
-
- Press d (to enter the drive letter)
-
- Type recycle
-
- Press ENTER
-
- Press b (to begin the ZIP operation)
-
- Type ozone
-
- Press ENTER
-
- The ZIP operation will begin.

- Figure 5. Initial UnZIP Options Menu (w/option to change target directory).
-
-
-
- Top Menu
-
- Again, the options on the Top Menu are the same as for the ZIP menu. Like
- the ZIP options menu, pressing b begins the archive operation (see Top Menu
- under ZIPing Files above).
-
-
- Bottom Menu
-
- The unZIP options (bottom menu) are explained as follows (see PKUNZIP
- documentation for greater detail):
-
- a. UnZIP w/ask: All files are extracted to the target directory; the
- original ZIP file remains. If a file already exists in the target directory,
- you are prompted to overwrite.
-
- d. Create DIRS: allows recursive unZIPing; i.e., if the ZIP file stored
- the complete path information of the original files, the directories will be
- recreated upon extraction.
-
- n. Extract only newer: Only files newer than the ones of the same
- name(s) already in the target directory will be extracted.
-
- o. Overwrite: All files in the ZIP are extracted to the target directory
- without confirmation for overwriting any existing files of the same name.
-
- q. Retrieve w/o comments: Unlike r below, this is for a quick display
- of the ZIP files contents. Only one file at a time may be processed. When
- the file list displays, the screen displays as in figure 3 above.
-
- r. Retrieve w/comments: This is the same as q above, except that the
- ZIP file's directory is displayed with file comments in the second column, if
- any. This method of retrieval is noticeably slower than q, but is helpful in
- identifying potential file deletions.
-
- t. Test integrity: checks the designated ZIP file to ensure it is not
- corrupt. You may check more than one ZIP file simply by tagging each file
- you wish to test.
-
- u. Tag w/comment: Same as s, but shows file comments, if any. This
- displays the contents of the chosen ZIP file and prompts you to tag the
- file(s) you wish to extract (see figure 3).
-
- w. Tag w/o comment: Same as u above, but does not show comments.
-
- y. Reset opts/files: Exactly the same as y on the ZIP options menu (see
- above).
-
- 4. Do SX: Any self-extracting archive may be unZIPed using this option.
-
- That's all there is to it!
-
-
- File Tasks
-
- Pressing 3 either from the initial ZWiz menu or from the ZIP or unZIP options
- menus takes you to a file handling menu from which you may do routine copy/
- move/delete tasks. This is generally the same as WordPerfect's own menu and
- is included in ZWiz only for convenience. For example, if you have been in
- the ZIP options menu and have tagged files for processing, you may go to the
- File Tasks menu without erasing the work you've done.
- Shareware versus Registered Version
-
- The registered version of ZWiz contains the following added features:
-
- 1. Online help screen
- 2. More ZIP & unZIP options.
-
-
- Registration
-
- Basic registration of ZWiz is $15.00 + $2.50 postage and handling. That
- amount entitles you to future upgrades of the program for only a nominal
- handling cost. On receipt of initial payment, you will be mailed the
- registered version. Thereafter, you may receive any upgrade by sending a
- self-addressed, stamped disk mailer with floppy disk to the address shown on
- the order form at the end of this document. You can determine if a new
- version has been released by calling the Express Line BBS--see third
- paragraph under Introduction above. The Shareware and Registered versions
- follow the same numbering scheme--e.g., ZWIZ10.ZIP, ZWIZ11.ZIP (version 1.0,
- 1.1, etc.).
- I hope you find ZWiz useful, and I thank you in advance for your
- support.
-
-
- Future Plans
-
- ZWiz will be expanded or improved as interest dictates. If enough
- WordPerfect users want versions compatible with other archive formats, such
- as PAK, ARC, LZH, ZOO, etc., those revisions will be offered.
- User input/suggestions are always encouraged and considered.
