MZip v2.2 for C-Net Amiga's QWK processing
-----------------------
Allows you to support ZIP'ped QWK packets
Compiled under the SAS C programming environment
Written by Ray Akey.
Changes:
--------
MZip now has a configuration file called MZip.cfg that is searched for in
the S: directory of your system. If S:MZIP.CFG does not exist, MZip
will use it's internal default Zip string, coded as:
"Zip -j %s %s"
where, in Zip v1.9h by Mark Adler, the arguments are designated as:
-j = junk (don't store in archive) directory names.
This capability was added to retain compatibility with new releases of
Zip and to allow MZip to work with other compression programs.
MZip now checks the filetype of the arguments supplied. With this
capability, you can now supply just the NAME of a directory and that
complete directory will be added to the archive. Also, if the
argument(s) is a file, the file will be added to the archive. The
two types can be mixed no problem. For example:
MZip My.zip stuff: dh0:devs/dosdrivers s:myfile
The above example will cause all files in stuff: to be added to the
archive "My.zip", as well as adding the contents of
"dh0:devs/dosdrivers" and the single file s:myfile.

MZip User-Manual
----------------
This program/command requires the program "ZIP" in your C: directory or
somewhere in your "PATH" and also UnZip, if you wish to support compression
and decompression of QWK packets.
The first thing you need to do is load BBSTEXT into your favorite text
editor.
Unzip installation:
-------------------
Look in the ARCHIVERS section of "config" for the "QWK Extract" gadget and
put the command "UnZip -x %s" there. That's it for unzip.
MZip installation:
------------------
You now need to find the "YANK PACK" gadget in the archivers section of
"config". Put the command "MZip %s" there. MZip will search for all files
to be compressed for QWK and then feed them one at a time to ZIP for
addition to the correct ".QWK" zip file.
That's in. Happy QWK'ing!
