******************************
zwhere v1.0
Listing directories and compressed archives
by Guenter Nagler
1994
(gnagler@ihm.tu-graz.ac.at)
******************************
[1] BACKGROUND
Finding files by name in a directory can simply be done by dir /S
command under DOS.
Finding files in ZIP compressed archives in one directory can also be
performed by programs like pkunzip or unzip.
The task is difficulter when the archives are stored in different directories
or using different archive utilities.
zwhere tries to solve this combined task by searching files in given drives,
in all subdirectories. It also searches files in various compressed archives.
It allows wildcards (*, ?, [a-z0-9]) and shows the file sizes.
zwhere currently reads directories of following archivers:
ZIP..... generated by pkzip (by PKWARE)
ARJ..... generated by arj (by Robert K. Jung)
RAR..... generated by rar (by Eugene Rashal)
LHA..... generated by lharc (by Haruyasu Yoshizaki)
GZIP.... generated by gzip (by Jean-loup Gaille)
ARC..... generated by pkarc (by PKWARE)
EXE..... selfextracting EXE (zip, rar, arj, lha)
