- *** Introduction ***
-
- WBUndo is a front end shell for .arc, .lzh, .zip, and .zoo archives. It was
- made to allow workbench users to extract files from these archives. The
- main programing considerations were to make it as small as possible, while
- still being bug free and user friendly.
-
- *** Before starting ***
-
- WBUndo uses and requires that you have a copy of the arp.library (v39.1 or
- later) in your libs: directory. To extract the archives WBUndo uses arc,
- lharc, unzip, and zoo. Those files should be in your C: directory.
-
- *** How to use ***
-
- When you double click the WBUndo icon , after it sets up, there are
- 3 main steps that happen.
-
- 1) An arp file requestor appears. It will be labeled to inform you to
- "select from File". If you select the cancel button WBUndo will end.
- Double clicking a filename, or selecting a file name and the ok button
- will take you to step 2).
-
- 2) A different arp file requestor appears. It will be labeled to inform
- you to "select to Drawer". If you select the cancel button you will go
- back to step 1). Any filename selected in step 2) will be ignored. After
- you select the desired Drawer click the OK button.
-
- 3) A small interactive shell appears. The correct program is run on the
- archive selected in 1) and the files go to the drawer selected in 2).
- The progress the archive program is making and any errors it encounters
- will be displayed in the shell. When the archive program ends, the shell
- disappears and you go back to 1).
-
- If you are an advanced user and filezap WBUndo the cli line "WBUndo h"
- will print the program names WBUndo is looking for in your C: dir. This
- info is given only for completeness and does not grant you a license to
- distribute filezaped versions.
-
- *** Return codes ***

-
- *** Bugs ***

- No known bugs remain in this version.
-
- **** Acknowledgements ***
-
- Thanks go to the gang on Bix who answered a lot of dumb questions,
- the gang at SAS for a great C compiler, Sebastiano Vigna for his
- latarp11.lzh file which made all this a lot smaller and easier, and
- the many who brought us arp.
-
- $$$ Shareware $$$
-
- If you like WBUndo and wish to use it I would request a $5.00 shareware
- fee. For $10 you will get a disk with the C source code, and everything
- you need to compile it for yourself, if you use SAS C v5.10a like I do.
- If you live outside of the USA please enclose a SASE with sufficient
- postage if you want the disk. If you don't have a C compiler and feel
- uncomfortable about zapping a version to use a different archive program,
- at the $10 level I would also put on the disk a version to use any of
- the following:
-
- for .arc files arc or pkax
-
- for .lzh files lz, lharc, or lhunarc
-
- for .zoo files booz or zoo
-
- for .zip files unzip or zippy
-
- For anything else if you enclose I copy I may be able to help you, not
- guaranteed, but I would give it a good hard look.
