Command Line Format: ZIPTOOL

Options:
HELP
List ALL Command line options and Environment
parameters that ZiPtool uses. Quick Reference

REGISTER
(Example: ZIPTOOL REGISTER)
This will allow you to register ZIPTOOL. It will
ask for your Name, Address, City State and ZIP, then
it will ask for your registration number. If your
registration number doesnt match the information you
sent to me, then ZIPTOOL will not install the registration
information.

UNREGISTER
(Example: ZIPTOOL UNREGISTER)
This will allow you to remove your registration information
from Ziptool if you want to give it to a friend. Please note
that it is ILLEGAL to distribute REGISTERED copies of ZIPTOOL.

EDITOR
(Example: ZIPTOOL EDITOR)
This option will install a CUSTOM Editor that you have
in your path. All you have to do is tell it the filename
(IE:LIST.COM) and Ziptool will attach your editor to itself
and run it when you view files within ZIPTOOL. The only
requirements is the editor must be able to view binary files
and to accept filenames to view on the DOS command line.

NOEDITOR
(Example: ZIPTOOL NOEDITOR)
This option will remove the Custom installed Editor if
one was installed. Very helpful in installing a new editor
or returning ZIPTOOL to the orginal editor.

VIEWREG
(Example: ZIPTOOL VIEWREG)
This option will allow you to view the registration of
ZipTool. This is quite handy for upgrading your old
version of ZipTool and installing your registration
information into.


ZipTool now supports environment parameters.
ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS:
ZTMOUSE=OFF
Turns MOUSE off. To set Environment Parameter,
type SET ZTMOUSE=OFF at the DOS Prompt. To
remove parameter, type SET ZTMOUSE=


ZIPTOOL Switches:
/M = Turn off Mouse support (If available)

/NC = No Color Mode - For Monochrome. ZIPTOOL
should autodetect if you have a MONO
monitor

/CO = Force Color Mode - Helpful if ZIPTOOL
has a problem detecting you monitor

/DEBUG = For Debuging ZipTool. For Author use.
Great for finding memory allocation problems
that ZipTool sometimes has.

Once ZIPTOOL is loaded, F1 help is availble at almost every
location.


<<< WARNING >>>
DO NOT USE PKLITE ON ANY VERSION OF ZIPTOOL. Ziptool saves its
configuration and registration information to itself. If it is
PKLITED, then Ziptool will be unable to find the places within
itself to write the information.



Ziptool is designed to run under a Pure DOS environment. It was
not designed to run under OS/2, a DOS window under MicroSoft
Windows, or under DeskQView. If you have problems with Ziptool,
do your testing under MS-DOS. Use at least version 3.3, and if you
have it, use MS-DOS v5.0 or v6.0 if possible.



**** NOTE ****
Subdirectories are displayed with a Down Arrow in of
the directory name and the previous path is an UP Arrow
symbol. Press enter (When Selection Bar is on Directory Name)
to change subdirectories

Keys to remember:
F1 Help (Globally)

Enter From file selection menu, View indivudial files in
the ZIPfile.

Enter From the Viewing menu, Unzip and View the selected
file. Handy for viewing DOC files.

ESC Back out of any menu or Screen.
If at file selection menu, then ESC terminates
ZIPTOOL.

Arrow Keys Move the selection bar up or down

Registering ZIPTOOL:
If you want to register ZIPTOOL, then send $10.00 to:

Russell Pool
106 Holly St
Rome, Ga 30161

Please make sure to enclose the following:

Your Name
Your Address
Your City, State and ZIPcode
Daytime Phone Number (If you wish me to call you)

These are used in the generation of a registration number.

Why do I want to register ZIPTOOL:

There is only one reason for registering ZIPTOOL. The
unregistered copy of ZIPTOOL will only split,merge
copy or delete ZIP files that have less than 20 files
in the ZIPfile. If you try to process a file with more
than 20, it will refuse to process it. However you can
still use the VIEW portion.

Please send comments and suggestions for this program
to Russell Pool. Russell may be reached through his BBS
(The Pool Hall - 404/235/7235 (300/1200/2400 baud) or
through Compuserve (ID: 76276,36).
Please send ANY suggestions you might have. If possible
I will try to incorporate them in. I would like ZIPTOOL
to be the BEST ZIP management tool around.


Error Codes and Possible Meanings

If you get and error with ZipTool, In order for me to find the problem
and fix it, I need the following information. If I dont get this information,
I have NO WAY of finding the bug.

1. - I need the Error Code that ZipTool caused. This tells me what
error occured and what to look for.

2. - Version Number. I keep last 3 versions of ZipTool available at
all times to fix bugs. If I find a bug in a older version, I check
the most recent version for the bug and fix it if is there.

3. - Program Counter. Version number and Program Counter are the MOST
valuable pieces of information you can give. By going to the version,
and giving my compiler the Program Counter, the compiler will take
me DIRECTLY to the statement that caused the error and it speeds
debugging. Since the program counters are different for each version,
I need the version you are having problems with so the program
counter will match the source code.

4. - I need to know what you were trying to do when it caused the error.
An example would be Splitting, Merging, Copying a file or Exiting
ZipTool. It allows me to trace down the problem better.

| ZipTool will take you to the NEXT file that starts with that
| letter.
|----------------------------------------------------------
| Now, After viewing a ZipFile (Pressing Enter on the
| Zipfile name, Ziptool will return you to the Filename
| instead of going back to the top of the file list. I cant
| do it after merging or while Splitting because of memory
| constraints and the number of variables used in Splitting.

2.40 | Splitting Routine had ability to create a file that
| DOS would not identify. Fixed (Hopefully).
| When Ziptool viewes a file within a ZIP, it creates a temp
| directory called ZTW#. If ZipTool crashes and leaves that
| temporary directory, ZipTool will crash again because It
| it tried to create the directory again. Fixed (Hopefully).
|Fixed Authentication Testing
|
|Fixed problem with finding PKUNZIP for UNZIPPING to View
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| additions for this version.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/4/92 | On Novell Networks, the Parent directory (..) isnt available
V2.51 | in any of the subdirectory listings. This was manually added
| into the file list that Ziptool reads. This will prevent
| an error 75 or error 76.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6/28/93 | Made modifications to handle PKZIP v2.40c - v2.40g
V2.60 | IF you have a problem with ZIPTOOL unzipping a file to
| view, then type SET DPMI=DISABLE at the DOS prompt.
|
| ReWrote the Move Command - Caused Errors
|
| Added a Marquee for advertisements
|
| Added AUTOINSTALL of registration information. It
| extracts registration info from a previous version
| of Ziptool (Searches path, then entire current hard drive
| for ZIPTOOL.EXE ). Will only work on the FIRST time Ziptool
| runs.
|
| Modified registration form. Added notes that I dont take

8/31/93 | Added AutoInstall to the Menus
V2.70 |

| drive. You can "Theoritically" view any size ZIPFILE
| as long as you have the hard drive space (278 bytes
| for each file in the ZipFile)
| (278 * ) = Bytes for Temp File
|
| Changed the "ZIPFILE" MOVE command to Move/Copy..
| Previously, it was COPYING.. not moving.. Added an
| optional DELETE feature to the MOVE command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/5/93 | In re-doing the VIEW Zipfile routine, I inadvertly created
V2.71 | some errors in the MOVE/DELETE routines. Thanks to
| William Smock, I found the errors, and corrected them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/28/93 | Finally created a 26meg ZIP file, and found Ziptool
v2.80 | had a MAJOR problem handling it. Re-Declared the
| byte location pointers to LONG INTEGER instead of
| SHORT INTEGER. Now Ziptool will handle Zipfiles up to
| 2.1 GIG in size.
