Compression / Decompression Module Version 1.9:

  Compression Module:

  The compression module with GEN7 allows compressing or
  decompressing files into directories using the File
  Manager.  GEN7 automatically searches for the programs:
  LHA.EXE, PKZIP.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE and ARCE.COM upon start-
  up (the PATH environment variable must specify the path
  to the programs).  The above programs available for use
  may be used to compress or decompress files (except ARCE
  which may only be used to decompress).  In addition, a
  user defined archive program may be installed, with
  associated parameters.  Two sets of parameters are kept
  for decompression, one for overwriting existing files,
  and one for no overwrite.  Only the first parameter is
  used in compression.  A user defined parameter may be
  installed from the menu, and this parameter will always
  be placed on the command line when the desired program
  is run.  The default extension associated with each of
  the archive programs is automatically detected when an
  archive file is selected (LZH for LHA, ZIP for PK????,
  and ARC for ARCE).  With multiple select on (see page
  10), more than one file may be archived or dearchived.
  In this case, the archive file name must be entered in
  with the keyboard.  If only one file is selected, and
  the extension is not recognized, then it may be used as
  an archive file, or one to go into an archive (note that
  self extracting archives have the extension EXE, for any
  archive program!).  If an archive file is to be archived
  into another archive, then it may be necessary to set
  multiple select on to prevent confusion.  Often, when
  more than one file box is open, the one in question must
  be selected (sometimes it does not detect where the file
  to be used is located).  By default the current file box
  is where the files are archived, or dearchived.

  Multiple - F3 Menu:

■ Compress Files    (Compression Module)    [Multiple F3]
  Select a file to be the destination compression file,
  and one file may be compressed into it.  Select a file
  that does not have a valid compression extension, and
  this file may be compressed into a compression file. In
  Multi-Select mode, multiple files may be selected to be
  compressed into a given compression file.  See the
  Compression Module documentation for full details.
■ Decompress Files  (Compression Module)    [Multiple F3]
  The option to overwrite existing files may be specified.
  This is similar in operation to the compress menu option
  but it decompresses files, instead of compressing.
■ Install Compress  (Compression Module)    [Multiple F3]
  The user defined compression program may be installed
  with this option.  The program must first be selected
  in an open file box (*.EXE, *.COM or *.BAT).
■ Set Parameters    (Compression Module)    [Multiple F3]
  Of the four compression programs (LHA, PKZIP, ARCE, and
  User Defined), each may have a user defined options
  string associated with it.  This string is always put
  into the command line when executing compression.

These modules may be integrated into one after registration (one
copy of GEN7 can be used to use either the Tutors or the Accounting or
the Song Data Base).

To run the Desktop, type:

        G7

        or

     BOOTG7

Songs and some data were generated with PC-HyperText Architect.

Have fun and enjoy this software!
