SetZips v1.1
Purpose:
Ever dial into Filo's board and see his nice .MOD collections by
month and just wish you had the time and patience to move every single one
of those suckers into their own month collection? I sure did while looking
at my directories of hundreds of .MOD files, and thats where setzips came
from. From the desc i guess you can conclude this is pretty much designed
for the WWIV sysop, and ur rite.
What the hell can this util do for me?
Just put the executable file anywhere you like, make sure pkzip is
in your path somewhere, fire it up and bingo-- a few minutes later you have
all your mods in a nice little MOD!XXYY.ZIP file.. how's that for spiffy?
XX being the month the mods were filed to disk and YY being the year they
were filed to disk. BUT: this program will not touch your mods from the
current month! So in essence you could really add setzips to your external
event or something! Pretty f*cking kewl eh?
example:
(todays date: 11.30.93)
WAF024 ZIP 4890 06-21-93 12:03a -> MOD!693.ZIP
XWIPER ZIP 3086 06-03-93 10:42p -> MOD!693.ZIP
TB20-422 ZIP 2276 11-11-93 11:14p -> <not archived>
get the idea? k00l
Ok.. now how the hell do i use this awesome 12.5k of C++?
Pretty damn simple really. Lets say you want to archive your mod
files you have residing in c:\wwiv\dloads\moda_f\ and want to throw your
collections into c:\wwiv\dloads\modcoll\ .. your command line would be:
setzips c:\wwiv\dloads\moda_f\ c:\wwiv\dloads\modcoll\
NOTE: You DO need the trailing backslashes!
wow.. need a college degree for this one eh? anyway... just in case you
*do* fubar this one by some odd stroke of luck and say like:
setzips c:\os2\system\ c:\wwiv\temp\
and intend load your bbs rite afterwards... *grin* there is a built in
little question... and using the above example:
"Are you sure you wish to archive c:\os2\system ?"
...obviously this one expects a yes or no... you get the picture.
Licensing:
Use this all you want. SetZips is freeware. If you do like it a lot and
it saved your neck tho (ie, Scan on a mod directory taking 30 minutes)
then send a little email saying thanks or something. Or if you have
complaints *cringe* or ideas then give a holler also.
Distribution:
Please feel free to add this to your WWIV utilities directory for
download as long as the 3 files (SetZips.exe, SetZips.doc, and File_ID.diz)
found in this archive are not altered or removed.
