Search button

Click this button to start searching for the text or numeric values entered above. The result will be displayed in the list above this button.


Close button

Click this button to return to the main menu. Any selected files in the search result list will be highlighted on the main screen for easy processing. To e.g. view a file, select it and click close. You can then view it from the main screen by pressing the View icon on the toolbar.


Text to find

Enter the text you wish to search for. If searching for anything else than Ascii (normal) characters, separate each number with a space, e.g. for hex "01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f".


Files to search

Specify the files you wish to search within the archive by entering a filename. Wildcards are ofcourse supported so you can search multiple files. Enter *.* to search all files.


Search type

Choose if you want to search for an Ascii string (normal text), a decimal number sequence, a hexadecimal number sequence or an octal number sequence.


Search options

This group of options lets you choose if you only want to find the first match in each file and if you want the search to be case sensitive (case sensitive means that uppercase letters are treated differently from lowercase letters, e.g. B is not equal to b) or not.


Find only first match

Check this option if you only want to find the first match in each file. If unchecked, all matches will be displayed in the result list.


Case sensitive search

Check this option to enable case sensitivity. That a search is case sensitive means that the program will treat uppercase and lowercase characters as being different, e.g. b is not equal to B. Uncheck this option if case is not important.


Search result

------------------------------------


UUEncode window

In this window you are able to uuencode an archive. By uuencoding an archive you convert it to text format, which can be used to transfer the archive over medias that do not support binary data. Formerly you had to uuencode files to attach them to emails, but most of todays email software handle this automatically.


Save as

Enter the name of your encoded file(s). An extension will be added automatically if you do not supply one - the default is .uue


Browse for folder

Click this button to browse your system for a folder with an Windows Explorer-like interface.


Encoding method

This group of options lets you choose the encoding algorithm to use. Select between uuencode or xxencode. uuencode is the most widely used algorithm, and xxencode is a newer optimised version of the same algorithm.


uuencode

uuencode is the most commonly used algorithm of its kind. For the technically interested it works by transforming a binary file into a printable text file by splitting the file up into groups of 3 bytes (24 bits), which is then split into 4 6-bit values. Each 6-bit value is incremented by 32 which maps the values onto the printable Ascii values. This results in converting every 3 binary characters into 4 printable characters.


xxencode

xxencode is an enhanced version of the uuencode algorithm. For the technically interested uuencode works by transforming a binary file into a printable text file by splitting the file up into groups of 3 bytes (24 bits), which is then split into 4 6-bit values. Each 6-bit value is incremented by 32 which maps the values onto the printable Ascii values. This results in converting every 3 binary characters into 4 printable characters. xxencode modified uuencode to have the 6-bit values (0, 1, 2, 3 .. 63) mapped 1-to-1 into the printable characters.


KB per file

Enter the number of kilobytes (KB) you want to store in each file encoded file. Several files may be generated for a single archive, similar to archives spanning more disks.


OK button

Click this button to encode the archive.


Cancel button

Click this button to return to the main screen without encoding the archive.

General Add options

This tab contains the general options available when adding files to an archive. Click on ? again and point the arrow on any items on the tab to get additional help.


Add files

In this window you add files to an archive. Browse for files like you do in the Windows Explorer by using the Drive Selector, Folder Tree and Folder Content list.

Tips

•	Select a folder and click Add to add all files in a folder

•	Use ctrl and shift keys with space or mouse buttons to add specific files

•	Enter a filespec, e.g. *.doc, to add multiple files


Display drive structure

Click this button to display/hide the folder structure of the current drive. The folders are displayed in a tree where you can click the + and - signs to expand/collapse specific folders.


Files options

This group of options decide how many files are added to the archive. Click ? again and point on one of the options to get additional help.


Add selected files

Check this selector to add the files highlighted in the folder content list above.


Add all files

Check this selector to add all files in the highlighted folder in the folder tree above.


Add specific files

Check this selector and enter a filename or filespec, e.g. *.doc, to add specific files to the archive.


Folders options

This group of options specifies how folders are treated when you add files from sub-folders to an archive. Click ? again and point it on any of the options to get additional help.


Include files in subfolders

Check this option if you want to add files in subfolders matching your entered or selected filename or filespec to the archive. If not checked, only files in the selected folder will be added.


Include folder information

Check this option to store folder information for the files that you add to the archive. Also see the Include drive information and Relative folder options.


Include drive information

Check this option to store drive information for the files that you add to the archive. Beware that files will be extracted to the same drive letter when you try to extract the files again. Normally you do not need to use this option.


Relative folders

Check this option to store relative folder information for the files that you add to the archive. This option is only used when "Include folder information" is checked. Normally you would check this option to allow the receiver of your archive to create the same folder structure under any folder he choses.

Example

Assume you are backing up files from the "work" folder of the c:\documents\work path. With this option checked, only the "work" part of the path is stored. If not checked, the full (absolute) path "\documents\work" is stored.


Compression level

This dropdown box enables you to specify the compression level to use when adding files to the archive. Chose between maximum, normal, light or none.


Add button

If you check this option, only files with the archive attribute set will be added to the archive.


Clear archive bit after adding

Check this option to clear the archive attribute for all files after they have been successfully added to the archive.


Password

Enter a password to encrypt the archive content. When you want to extract files from the archive again you must specify the same password.


Exclude files

This list contains filenames and filespecs that you do not want to add to your archive. Use this option to avoid adding text backup files, log files and any other temporary files to your archives.


Exclude files, Add

Press this button to enter a filename or filespec to add to the list of files you do not want to add to your archives.


Exclude files, Delete

Press this button to remove the selected filenames from the list of files you do not want to add to your archives. Before pressing the button you must select one or more filenames from the list above.

This tab contains the advanced options available when adding files to an archive. Click on ? again and point the arrow on any items on the tab to get additional help.


Display parent folder

Press this button to display the content of the parent folder. This is the same as clicking the folder above the current folder in the tree below.

Leave space on first disk

When creating archives spanning multiple floppy disks, it is sometimes needed to store some uncompressed data on the first floppy, e.g. a readme.txt file with installation information. Enter the number of kilobytes (1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes) to reserve on the first floppy.


Store empty folders in archive

Check this option if you want to store empty folders (folders with no files) in the archive.


--------------------------------------


Select backup set

Select the backup set you wish to use from the Backup set dropdown list. Select "Configure Backup Sets" from the Backup menu to create additional Backup Sets.
