- MKDIZ allows you to create and insert FILE_ID.DIZ format
- and/or DESC.SDI description files. These files are being used more
- and more on BBSs in every city on the world to help identify
- ZIP files.
-
- Basically, a FILE_ID.DIZ file contains a short informative
- description of the files/programs contained within a .ZIP file.
- These descriptions can then be read and automatically displayed
- on a BBS operators file directories. These directories are then
- viewed by the BBS user and aide the user/Sysop in determining a
- ZIP files contents.
-
- Below is a sample BBS file directory that uses the FILE_ID.DIZ
- description file format. These descriptions are located on the
- far right of the program name.

- HOW TO USE MKDIZ - Starting for the first time:
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────
- Make sure that MKDIZ.EXE and PKZIP.EXE are in your DOS Path. If
- MKDIZ is not within the path, possible errors can crop up.
- Usually, MKDIZ and PKZIP are stored in the same directory on the
- Hard disk. A common directory name would be C:\UTIL. Most of your
- everyday utilities would also be stored there.
-
- Automatic Entry of a Zip File Comment. The Zip file comment resides
- in the same directory as PKZIP. It consists of a custom ASCII file
- by the name of COMMENT.DIZ. This option is available to
- registered users only. Automatic Zip Comment Entry also requires
- the use of a memory variable. Registered users will receive more
- detailed instructions concerning Zip File Comments.
-
-
-
-
-
- SUGGESTIONS - Proper Program Operation:
- ───────────────────────────────────────
- Run the program from within the directory containing the ZIP
- files you want to process.
-
- Make sure you have sufficient space on your hard disk. At least
- double the space of the ZIP file to be processed.
-
- If a ZIP file you wish to process has Authenticity Verification
- from another source, you will need to unzip and then rezip all the
- files using your Authenticity Verification version of PKZIP. You
- may then run MKDIZ on the re-zipped file. This version of MKDIZ
- has a switch for Authenticity Verification for users having a
- registered version of PKZIP.
