FASTLZH 2.5 and FASTLZH 2.0 gem acc is distributed as SHAREWARE.

$15.00 or anything you can afford to:

I also can be reached on HI-TECH BBS (203)776-2850
or on Cemetery Ridge Bbs (914)225-2374
Shareware can be a feasible alternative to the normal means
of distribution but it will only work if you do send in your
registration fee. I've spent a lot of hours working on FASTLZH 2.5
I'm looking at this as a sort of experiment, So if you'd like to see
further updates to FASTLZH 2.5 and other shareware programs, your
support will make a difference!
Registered users will be informed of any updates, and be the
first to receive them when they're ready. Also, if you have
suggestions for improving FASTLZH, your opinions will carry
more weight if you're registered; I'll work to include any
suggestions that seem useful. If you have an account on GEnie
please include your user name or ID number when registering this
is the easiest way for me to get in touch with you.
Your archive should contain
FASTLZH.PRG ACC
FASTLZH.TTP
FASTLZH.DOC

FASTLZH may be freely distributed as long as both of the
above-mentioned files are included and unaltered. The program
may NOT be sold.
FASTLZH 2.5 - A program for uncompressing-compressing-testing and
viewing .LZH archive files.
FASTLZH 2.0 gem Skip to the section GEM VERSION
FASTLZH is a self contained program - LHARC does not
need to be present to extract files. It is written in 100% Assembly
language using hisoft dev2.
FASTLZH works the same way as LHARC if you already use LHARC then you
can use FASTLZH in exactly the same way.
How to Use the Program:
-----------------------
FASTLZH can be used as a ttp or tos file just rename file from
FASTLZH.TTP to FASTLZH.TOS.
As a TTP file you can enter a command line in the standard TOS alert
box. From that point on FASTLZH will be automatic there is no more user
input. But if for some strange reason you do not enter a command in the
alert box FASTLZH will prompt you for your command.
As a TOS file FASTLZH will prompt you for your command.
FASTLZH works with ARCSHL21.PRG with no problems, but you can not use
the "Include folders option" from that shell. Maybe in a future release
of the ARCSHELL they will pass the "Z" option to LZH processing like they
do when using ARC.
FASTLZH also works with FoReM Filemanager v2.5f.
COMMANDS
--------
x - Extract files from an LZH
a - Add files to an LZH
m - Move files to an LZH (same as add but files are deleted after they
are added)
v - Verbose Listing of the contents of an LZH file
t - Test an LZH
SWITCHES
--------
h - Hold screen upon completion of FASTLZH
z - Include embedded sub-directories
Here are some command examples....
EXTRACTING
----------
x c:\lzhfile.lzh c:\junk\*.*
This command will extract all files from the lzhfile into a folder
named JUNK, including any sub-folders that may be included in the LZH.
If the folder JUNK is not found, it will be created for you. You do not
need to create the output folders yourself. You also do not need to use
the extender .LZH on your lzh filename. When the task is done FASTLZH
will not hold the screen.
xh c:\lzhfile c:\junk\*.*
Same as above but FASTLZH will wait for keyboard input before exit.
NOTES ON EXTRACTING FILES
-------------------------
FASTLZH will automatically create any folder needed for output.
In order for FASTLZH to process embedded folders in an LZH, that
LZH must have been created with FASTLZH v2.5 or greater. It is not
compatable with LHARC which stores the folder information in the
LZH in a different format.
ADDING / MOVING
---------------
ah c:\lzhfile c:\junk\*.*
This command will add all files contained in the folder JUNK into
an LZH called LZHFILE.LZH. It will not include any folders contained in
the JUNK folder. It will then wait for a key press before exit.
mzh c:\lzhfile c:\junk\*.*
This command will add all files contained in the folder JUNK into
an LZH called LZHFILE.LZH. It will also include all files contained in any
folder contained in the JUNK folder and retain their folder information
for later extraction. It will then wait for a key press before exit.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
---------------
vh c:\lzhfile
This command will return a verbose listing of the contents of the LZH.
It will then wait for a key press before exit.
th c:\lzhfile
This command will do a full CRC check on all files contained in the
LZH. It basically does everything an extract does but does not write out
any files.
OTHER NOTES
-----------
When specifying filenames you can use any standard TOS wildcard
specification.
