ZV - ZIP View, Version 1.01 - This ZIP file directory lister will allow you
to easily determine the contents of ZIP files, regardless of extensions,
including self-extracting files. Multiple filespecs and wildcards may be
specified on the command line. DOS-compatible switches are available for
Wide, Technical and Brief (without drive or path) displays. ZIP file and
individual file comments are displayed.

Purpose:
========
To provide a simple means of displaying the directory of a ZIP file. The
program attempts to quickly determine if a specified file is in ZIP format
and displays an error message if the format is not recognized.
Commands:
=========
Usage: zv zipfile [zipfile...] [switches]
Switches: /W Wide display, up to five filenames per line
/T Technical information
/B Brief filenames, without drive or path
/P Pause display when the screen fills
Switches may appear in any position on the command line.
Examples: zv /t backup.exe /p *.zip
zv/w bigfile.zip
zv /b/t/p recurse.dir
zv *.* /w/p
In the command format above, 'zipfile' may optionally include a drive
and/or path designation. A 'zipfile' specified without an extension will
cause a search for all extensions.
If the /P switch is used, the display will prompt for a key press after the
screen is filled. Pressing <Ret> will advance the display by one line.
Pressing <Esc> will terminate the program. Any other key will display
another screenful of output, with an overlap of one line, provided there is
enough output to fill another screen.
As an alternative to the /P switch, pressing any key, except <Esc>, while
the programming is running, will temporarily pause the display. Pressing
any key after pausing, except <Esc>, will resume the display. <Esc> to
terminate program execution.
While the program is displaying data, <Esc> will end program execution.
Typing just the program name by itself will display a simple help screen.
Other programs:
===============
Other programs which I have written and contributed to the public domain
include:
CAL100
------
CAL - Calendar V1.00 - 06/03/89 - A simple, pop-up calendar display program
that can be used as a sort of perpetual calendar. Valid years range from
0001 to 9999 (arbitrary). This program is NOT memory-resident. Scroll
through the different months and years. Although the executable file is
stand-alone, I don't consider this to be a complete program. I've
contemplated using the included routines as the starting point for a
scheduling program, for example. Source code included.
CRC-M2
------
CRC-M2 - Cyclic Redundancy Checker V1.00 - 07/12/89 - This tiny CRC program
accepts wildcards and multiple filespecs from the command line. Displays
same CRC values as PKPAK and LHarc. This type of program is usually
written in assembly language. In fact, I've adapted the algorithms from
some publicly available assembly language routines. Source code included.
DDEL124
-------
DIRDEL - Directory Delete, V1.24 - 07/15/89 - This program will delete
entire subdirectory trees - even those containing read-only, hidden and
system files and directories. It will even delete the current directory.
The executable file for this version is significantly smaller than before.
Source code included.
FIX220
------
FIX - File Fix V2.20 - 08/13/89 - This binary editor will allow you to
conveniently view and edit any type of file - read-only, hidden or system -
in ASCII or hex. Select files from a scrollable, pop-up directory window.
Version 2.20 adds two new features: 1) a command to jump directly to a
specified offset within the file and 2) a simple text-search feature that
will take you to the next record containing the string for which you are
searching.
As I write this, FIX220 is being revised to broaden the search capabilities
so that both text searches (including wildcards) and binary searches will
be handled properly.
FND106
------
FFIND - File Finder, V1.06 - 07/31/89 - This program will find any file or
subdirectory on your hard disk, including hidden and system files.
Usage: ffind [d:][filename][.ext]
Wildcards are accepted. Improvements for this version include an overall
increase in speed and a smaller executable filesize. Source code included.
All the above programs were written entirely in JPI TopSpeed Modula-2.
