LOOKZ.EXE & SEEZ.BAT
* ITEMS NEEDED *
LIST.COM, PKZ090.EXE, AND MORE.COM from the DOS disk.
These files must exist either in the root directory, or in
your path statement. List.com by Vernon D. Buerg is in
it's latest variety I believe called List64A.arc. ( Am I in
trouble for mentioning ARC??). Type PKZ090 to extract the
PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities by Phil Katz. Zip archives are
the latest technologies from PKWARE.
The original utility Look was entered into the Public Domain
by James O. Miller on 10/31/88. I merely changed his code so
it would be easier to view a Zip file without resorting to a
command line statement. SeeZ.bat is a simple utility to allow
you to quickly see what is inside of a Zip file.
Use SEEZ <Zipfilename> No extension needed to see what exists
inside the Zip file. Then if you wish to read an ASCII text file
inside of the Zip file. Type LOOKZ <Zipfilename> <ASCIIFile.EXT>.
This will extract a copy of the ASCII file from the Zip and call
Vernon D. Buerg's List.com to view the ASCII file. After viewing
the copy of the ASCII file will be deleted. * CAUTION if you use
Lookz a copy of the ASCII file will be extracted and it will
Overwrite any existing copy in the directory your are in. So if
you use Lookz it might be better to do so in a temporary area safe
from files you would not want inadvertantly written over. I use
this mainly for text or doc files. But of course any ASCII file,
ie, program source files etc., may be viewed.
** NOTE **
These two utilities are entered into the Public Domain and the
author bears no responsibility for their useage.
You do so at your own risk. Lookz simply extracts a copy of an
ASCII file and uses List.com to view it. After viewing, the copy
is deleted. If you overwrite an existing copy in the directory
you are in. That overwritten copy will be deleted. I hope you
enjoy these utilities! If you have any comments or wish to
contribute any monetary rewards send same to:
