- 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 (of the registered version)
- 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 customized 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. 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 not been tested on XT or slower machines. Users of such machines
- will have to determine for themselves the program's suitability for their needs.
-
-
- Installation
-
- The distribution disk (or the archive file, if you downloaded ZWiz from a
- bulletin board) should contain the following files:
-
- FV.COM Vernon Buerg's File Viewer (see Acknowledgements/Disclaimers
- below)
- FV.DOC Documentation for FV
- README.1ST Setup info and version history for ZWiz
- ZWIZ.DOC ZWiz complete documentation, ASCII version
- ZWIZ.DOK ZWiz complete documentation, WordPerfect 5.1 version
- 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
- ZWZ.WPM Main ZWiz macro
- ZWZ2.WPM Controls new target directory selection for ZIPing files
-
- 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 and ZWZ.BAT 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 execut-
- able macro, ZWZ.WPM, to a shorthand name, such as ALTZ.WPM. This method will allow
- quick execution of ZWiz. (This also assumes that PKZIP and PKUNZIP are already in
- the path statement.) Alternatively, you may wish to assign ZWZ.WPM to your favorite
- keyboard (WPK).
- The final step of installation is to create the directory, C:\ZWZIP. It is
- mandatory that you use drive C, unless you wish to go through each ZWiz macro and
- change every mention of drive C to whatever drive you need.
-
-
- Files/Directories Used by ZWiz
-
- The aforementioned C:\ZWZIP is used as a temporary work directory for several
- ZWiz operations. You should not store any files whatsoever in this directory.
- ZWiz also creates two temporary files, WP{ZIP}.SET and WP{CAT}.SET, in the
- directories affected by the command line options selected. Do not delete or move
- these files while ZWiz is running.
-
-
- Memory Caveats
-
- ZWiz macros operate by shelling to DOS and calling ZWZ.BAT, 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, particularly 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. Accordingly, 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 complete 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. Doing so could cause malfunction, lockup,
- or even data loss!
-
- 2. Again, keep backups of your files, especially until you are thoroughly
- familiar with the way ZWiz operates.
-
- 3. A maximum of three files at a time can be tagged while in the contents
- list of any ZIP file. This is not the author's limitation. The limit
- is imposed by WordPerfect, which will allow only 59 characters on the
- "DOS Commands" command line.
-
-
- Zip Wizard Operation
-
- Assuming all installation is complete: To begin ZIPing or unZIPing files,
- execute ZWZ.WPM (or whatever name you've given it). The macro will display the menu
- shown in figure 1: ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

-
- Figure 1. Initial ZWiz Menu.
-
- Items one and two are strictly for ZIP operations (i.e., adding, moving, etc.
- files into an archive). Conversely, items three and four are solely for unZIP
- operations (i.e., extracting, viewing, etc. files in an archive).
- If the files you wish to operate on are in the current directory, choose 1 or
- 3, as appropriate. If you wish to change to another directory containing the needed
- files, choose 2 or 4 (of course, you could have changed to the needed directory
- before executing ZWiz).
- After you select an item from the above menu, ZWiz then tests for two
- conditions:
-
- A. Document 2 is empty. If not empty, ZWiz will display 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 ENTER is pressed, the macro stops and leaves you at the editing screen of
- Document 2.
-
- B. WP{ZIP}.SET does not exist. There does not exist in the current directo-
- ry any temporary file from previous ZWiz operations (this would only
- occur in rare cases of operator error or power failure).
-
- If the file does exist, you will be shown the following prompt:
-
- Error: WP{ZIP}.SET already exists on disk.
- Do you wish to delete it and restart ZWiz? (y/n)
-
- No harm will be done if you delete the file, though it might indicate that the
- C:\ZWZIP directory still contains files from an aborted operation. You might wish
- to answer no in order to check that directory first.
- After these two conditions have been met, the initial screen of ZWiz pops up
- (figure 1).
-
-
- ZIPing Files
-
- Item 2.
-
- If you choose item 2 (figure 1), you will be prompted as follows:
-
- Type drive letter to change to, press ENTER
-
- Simply press the appropriate drive letter. Then you will be prompted for the
- directory to change to:
-
- Enter directory to change to, 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
-
- For changing to a floppy disk, simply press ENTER when the prompt for directory
- appears.
- When the directory has been selected, you are shown the ZIP Options Menu
- (figure 3).
-
-
- Item 1.
-
- Choosing item 1 from the initial menu immediately displays the ZIP Options

-
- Figure 3. ZIP Options Menu (target directory = current with option to
- change).
-
- If you are familiar with PKZIP options, this menu should be self-explanatory. Note,
- however, that the screen display above is the shareware version. The registered
- version splits the menu into Primary Options (the main function to perform) and the
- Secondary Options (optional command line parameters). The shareware version will
- allow only one command line option.
- A brief synopsis of the ZIP Options is as follows:
-
- a. Add files to ZIP: 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. Add/edit file comments: 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 files in ZIP (quick contents list): Retrieves the directory of the
- designated ZIP file and prompts you (see figure 4 below) to tag the file(s) you wish
- to delete from the archive. IMPORTANT!: This selection allows only 3 ZIP files at
- a time to be processed, with a maximum of five files at a time to be deleted from
- the ZIP archive. This limitation is imposed because of WordPerfect's maximum
- character size for variables.
-
- Move Cursor line by line, pressing ENTER
- to tag each file (maximum 3 at a time).
- Press F1 when done
-
- Figure 4. File Tagging Prompt for Internal ZIP Files.
-
-
- e. Delete files in ZIP (show comments first): This is the same as d above,
- except the directory of the ZIP file is displayed with comments, if any, which you
- have attached to the files within the archive.
-
- f. Freshen files: This option is normally used as a Secondary Parameter,
- though not necessarily. It updates files that already exist in the ZIP file with
- same-named files with later times and dates. (To fully understand the difference
- between Primary and Secondary options, you should carefully read the PKZIP
- documentation.)
-
- g. Change target directory: This is a very important option! If you wish the
- target ZIP file to remain in the current directory when processing is complete, do
- not select this option. However, if you want to change the target directory, you
- will see the following prompt:
-
- Please choose a number:
- 1. Type in full pathname (e.g., D:\ARCHIVE)
- 2. Look at directories, then type full pathname
-
- Figure 5. New Target Directory Options.
-
- Option 2 will display the root directory of the currently logged drive and prompt:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Use arrows & ENTER key to look at directories, ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ press F7 when ready to choose target directory ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
-
- Figure 6. Browse Directory Prompt.
-
- When the new directory is chosen, the macro loops back to the option 1 prompt:
-
- Press Drive letter
-
- and, after you respond, displays:
-
- Type Directory name, press ENTER (do not add \)
-
- Again, do not type in the leading \ unless the target destination is a subdirectory
- (follow the same syntax as shown in the paragraph subheading, Item 2, above).
- After you change the target directory, the ZIP Options menu reappears, this
- time with confirmation that you have changed target directories (figure 7). 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 ZIP file and 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, d, m,
- and v; and to unZIP options e, n, o, s, and v (discussed later).

-
- Figure 7. ZIP Options Menu--New Target Directory Set.
-
- The following continues a brief explanation of PKZIP options:
-
- k. Keep same ZIP date: Again, this is usually a Secondary Option. The current
- ZIP file date is kept no matter what the dates of the files added to it are.
-
- m. Move files into ZIP: The tagged files are deleted from disk after being
- compressed and copied into the ZIP archive.
-
- o. Set ZIP file to latest date: Usually a Secondary Option. The ZIP file date
- is set to the date of the newest file within it.
-
- u. Update files: 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 ZIP file & comments: This simply 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 fro a filename. Do not include the ZIP extension.
-
- z. Add ZIP file comment: Adds a comment to the general ZIP file, not to the
- files contained within.
-
-
- Tagging or Naming Files to ZIP
-
- After an option is selected, you are taken to the current directory's file list
- and are prompted at the bottom of the list in one of several ways, depending on the
- option you chose. Some options will require two steps; others only one. If, for
- example, you select a (Add files), you are shown the following prompt:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓ Press asterisk to tag files to archive, ENTER when done. ▓▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓ Press F1 to cancel. ▓▓▓▓▓▓
-
- Figure 8. Prompt for Tagging of Files to ZIP.
-
- After you tag the needed file(s), you are shown the target directory's ZIP file list
- (if any) and the prompt:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓ Type name of archive file (without extension), press ENTER. ▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓ Press F1 to cancel. ▓▓▓▓▓
-
- Figure 9. Prompt for Typing Filename.
-
- On the other hand, a shorter process is selecting option v (View file). You
- are shown the current directory's file list and the prompt:
-
- ▓▓▓▓▓ Type name of file to view (without extension), press ENTER. ▓▓▓▓▓
- ▓▓▓▓▓ Press F1 to cancel. ▓▓▓▓▓
-
- Figure 10. Prompt for Viewing File.
-
- After you type the file name, the contents are quickly displayed.
-
-
- Keystroke Rules While in File List
-
- 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.
- A few other words of caution: While in a file directory display, please follow
- the prompt's instructions to the letter! Otherwise, you may get very undesirable
- results. WordPerfect's macro programming language is not yet adept at handling
- errors occurring while in menus or file lists. As the language evolves, we will add
- more error handling to the code.
- Also, it might be wise, until you get the hang of ZWiz, to limit your movement
- in the directory list to use of the arrow keys. If, for example, you use the n (name
- search) function to look for a file in the list, the prompt (figure 2) will disappear
- from the screen. Do not be alarmed! The macro is still running and awaiting your
- input as requested in figure 2.
-
-
- Shelling to DOS--PKZIP
-
- After the options and files have been selected, ZWiz shells to DOS and calls PKZIP,
- passing along the option and filename parameters. When processing ends, you are
- shown the following message:
-
- ZIP file processing complete
-
- If you should cancel the macro operation, or should an error condition occur, you
- see:
-
- Macro execution canceled
-
- After either message, you are returned to the editing screen of Document 1.
-
- Example of ZIPing a File
-
- A more difficult session with ZWiz and PKZIP might go as follows:
-
- 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):
-
- ZWZ.WPM is executed and the menu in figure 1 displays.
-
- Press 1
-
- The ZIP Options Menu appears (figure 3).
-
- Press g
-
- The prompt shown in figure 5 appears.
-
- Press 1
-
- The prompt appears:
-
- Press Drive letter
-
- Press d
-
- Next the prompt:
-
- Type Directory name, press ENTER (do not add \)
-
- Type recycle
-
- Press ENTER
-
- The ZIP Options Menu will reappear (figure 7).
-
- Press a
-
- Then you will see the current directory file list, with the tag files
- prompt at the bottom of the list (figure 8).
-
- Move the cursor to the file TRASH.CAN
-
- Press *
-
- Press ENTER
-
- Next you will see the list of ZIP files, if any, in the target directory
- D:\RECYCLE, with the prompt for filename at the bottom of the screen
- (figure 9).
-
- Type ozone
-
- Press ENTER
-
- The file will be ZIPped and the final prompt will appear:
-
- ZIP file processing complete unZIPing Files
-
- Item 4.
-
- Choosing item 4 at the initial menu (figure 1) prompts you for the new drive
- and directory, exactly in the same fashion as explained in Item 2 under the heading
- ZIPing Files above. Please review that section for information on how to respond
- to ZWiz's prompts.
-
- Item 3.
-
- Choosing item 3 from the initial menu (figure 1) immediately displays the UnZIP

- Figure 11. Initial UnZIP Options Menu (w/option to change target directory).
-
- The unZIP options are explained as follows (see PKUNZIP documentation for greater
- detail):
-
- d. Create DIRS stored in ZIP: This option is available only on the registered
- version. It 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.
-
- e. Extract all files from ZIP: Not much commentary necessary. 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.
-
- n. Extract only newer: Only files newer than the ones of the same name(s)
- already in the target directory will be extracted.
-
- o. Extract and overwrite files: All files in the ZIP are extracted to the
- target directory without confirmation for overwriting any existing files of the same
- name.
-
- p. Extract to another directory: This is a very important option! This should
- be chosen first, if applicable. See Item 1, paragraph g above for details on how
- to answer ZWiz's prompts.
- q. Retrieve file from ZIP (w/quick file list): Like r below, this is available
- only in the registered version of ZWiz. Unlike r, 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 following prompt shows at the bottom of the screen:
-
- Move cursor to line containing file you
- wish to retrieve (maximum 1 at a time).
- Press ENTER when done
-
- When ENTER is pressed, the selected document will load and the ZWiz operation then
- terminates.
-
- r. Retrieve file from ZIP (show comments first): This is the same as q above,
- except that the ZIP file's directory is display 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.
-
- s. Select files within ZIP (w/quick file list): This displays the contents of
- the chosen ZIP file and prompts you to tag the file(s) you wish to extract:
-
- Move Cursor line by line, pressing ENTER
- to tag each file (maximum 3 at a time).
- Press F1 when done
-
- When F1 is pressed, all tagged files are extracted to the target directory.
-
- w. Select files within ZIP (show comments first): Same as s, but shows file
- comments, if any.
-
- t. Test ZIP file integrity: This simply checks the designated ZIP file to
- ensure it is not corrupt. If you want to test all or certain ZIP files in the
- directory, type an asterisk (*) when prompted for a filename. However, do not use
- an asterisk with a ZIP extension (e.g., *.ZIP); this will not work! If, for example,
- you wish to view all ZIP starting with the string DOC (e.g., DOC1.ZIP, DOC2.ZIP,
- etc.), enter the following at the filename prompt:
- DOC*
-
- v. View ZIP file: The contents of the designated ZIP file is displayed.
- Unlike option c in ZIP options menu, this does not display file comments, if any.
- As in t above, it is possible to use an asterisk to view multiple ZIP files.
-
- After the option is chosen, you are taken to the current file directory for
- purposes of designating a ZIP file to perform that option on. As in ZIP operations
- discussed above, a prompt will appear at the bottom of the file list, telling you
- what to do. Each option will display a different prompt. The details will not be
- discussed here, as the unZIP operations are very similar to the ZIP procedures.
- The only word of caution to offer here is to remind you of the rules of user
- input discussed under Keystroke Rules . . . above.

-
- Shelling to DOS--PKUNZIP
-
- After options and filenames are entered, ZWiz shells to DOS and runs the unZIP
- routine. Upon completion, the following prompts are displayed:
-
- UNZIP processing complete
-
- or, in the case of cancellation or error:
-
- Macro execution canceled
-
- That's all there is to it!Shareware versus Registered Version
-
- The registered version of ZWiz contains the following added features:
-
- 1. Ability to retrieve a file from within a ZIP into WordPerfect.
- 2. Ability to store pathnames within ZIP and to recreate the paths upon
- extraction.
- 3. Multiple command line options.
- 4. Ability to scramble archive files with password protection.
-
-
- 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 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.
