Introduction
Pkinsert is an archive manipulation utility designed for SysOps and
end users. It can be configured to test archive integrity, scan for
viruses, insert and delete files within Zip archives, etc.
Pkinsert is fully network compatible and when used as a Bbs upload
monitor, can create all the result files a SysOp may need.
Pkinsert is released as Freeware. As such, there's no need to
register and all features are active - I'm well aware of the eternal
struggle SysOps face in registering just a small portion of the
software they use. :-) I'll answer questions and work-in most
features you suggest, just drop off a message on my system.
If you use Pkinsert and have authored SysOp or Telecommunications
oriented software, I would appreciate if you uploaded me a copy in
return. Please don't bother with Crippleware or unregistered
Shareware.

General Requirements
You will need the following software to run Pkinsert.
Pkzip/Pkunzip by PKWare Inc.
SCAN by McAfee Associates (Optional).
Pkinsert should run from any Bbs software shell. Memory requirements
can be kept at a minimum by Pkinserts use of disk swap files. A
ram-disk is highly recommended to optimize speed.
Upgrading
No changes have been made to the configuration file structure since
version 6.0. Just drop-in the Pkinsert.Exe file and you're ready to
go. To upgrade from versions prior to 6.0, you'll have to start from
scratch.
Adjustments to batch files may be necessary. Please review the
Pkinsert.His documentation file for details of new features and bug
fixes.

Pkinsert Options

environment variable. Environment variable options will over-ride

over-ride those of the environment. Both the environment variable and
command line parameters are limited to 128 characters as dictated by
Dos. Parameters are not case sensitive.

must be present in the environment or command line for
Pkinsert to load successfully.

document test failures. (optional)
