- RPF Zip Control(TM)
- Copyright 1993-1997 RPF Software
- All Rights Reserved
-
- Zip Control is a OS/2 32-bit threaded PM program which provides "point & click"
- access to Zip and UnZip and PKWARE's PKZIP (2.50+). Info-ZIP's freeware
- programs Zip.exe and UnZip.exe are used by many OS/2 users to manage .zip
- archives. Zip and UnZip are command line programs which create and unzip
- archive files which are compatible with PKWARE's PKZIP program. Additionally,
- these programs support OS/2's long file names and extended attributes.
-
- Zip Control features:
-
- View the list of files contained in a .zip file.
- View the contents of one or more files which are contained in the .zip
- file. The "view" function respects the WorkPlace Shell "associations."
- Print a contained file, including 2-up printing.
- Sort contained files by a combination of date, name, and path.
- Find and highlight files based on search text.
- Extract one or more files, define target directory during extract.
- Drag and drop files from .zip file to folder or Desktop.
- Drag and drop files and/or folders from Desktop and folders to Zip
- Control to create or add to .zip file or to open the .zip file.
- Delete selected files from archive.
- Add one or more files to archive.
- Change default extract or add options/modifiers at action time.
- Configuration notebook.
- Simple, easy format with all choices displayed. No learning curve.
- Optional expert mode with reduced window size (just list of files), use
- accelerator keys and/or pop-up menu.
- On-line help.
- Numerous ease of use features.
- Search multiple disk drives and list all .zip files, sort by name, date,
- and/or path to assist in disk and archive management. Delete or open .zip
- files from sorted list.
- QwikEval: test, extract to temp dir, virus scan & report, re-zip. Test
- run or run install programs, then delete temp dir.
- Supports encrypted files--both view/unzip and create.
- No changes to Config.sys. Private .ini file in product directory.
- Includes an Install program.
- AutoUnZip permits dragging a .zip file to an icon and auto-UnZipping the
- file to a pre-determined directory structure, without displaying Zip
- Control.
- Able to restrict Zipping to files modified after a specified date.
- Interactively (Ctrl-T, Ctrl-S) or automatically (AutoTest, AutoScan)
- "Test" and/or virus "Scan" open .zip files.
- Review Extended Attributes (EAs) added by Golden CommPass.
- "Hints" in status bar.
- IBM, McAfee, and other virus scanner support.
-
- UnZip and Zip are available as freeware on many BBSs which have OS/2
- libraries, at many Internet sites, on-line services, and other locations. See
- the ReadMe.txt file for specific locations.
-
- Zip and UnZip are freeware products of Info-ZIP. Zip Control is a copyrighted
- software product of RPF Software. Info-ZIP and RPF Software are independent
- organizations.
-
- Zip Control only works with the OS/2 versions of Zip.exe and UnZip.exe,
- versions 2.01 and 5.1 (or higher), respectively, or with PKWARE's PKZIP for
- OS/2 2.50+.
-
- Future updates to Zip Control may be available at the sites specified in the
- ReadMe.txt file.
-
- Zip Control is copyrighted software, it is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN, it is NOT FREE.
- You are encouraged to use an Evaluation copy of it for a reasonable evaluation
- period (21 days) to see if it is software which is helpful to you and which
- you wish to continue using. If you do decide to continue using Zip Control,
- you MUST license Zip Control by filling out the form in Order.txt and sending
- it along with the license fee or payment information to RPF Software or to one
- of the other organizations from which you can license Zip Control. See the
- Order.txt file or on-line help (Product Information).

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Zip Control Installation.
-
- See the Install.txt file for installation instructions.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Settings notebook includes pages which contain the settings for:
-
- Options - General
-
- Defines default options for Zip Control.
-
- Options - UnZip
-
- Defines default options used when unzipping.
-
- Options - Zip
-
- Defines default options used when zipping.
-
- Options - QwikEval
-
- Defines default options used when using QwikEvalt.
-
- Paths
-
- Defines default paths.
-
- Programs
-
- Defines the zip, unzip, default view, and virus scan programs.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. Options - General ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Options - General page of the Settings notebook defines default options
- used by Zip Control.
-
- "Hide buttons (expert)" will hide all of Zip Control's main window
- except for the title bar and the list box. The main window will be
- resized to be the same size as the list box. The window (and list
- box) will be re-sizable.
-
- When "Hide buttons" is active, less Desktop space will be used. Use
- the "accelerator keys" to perform Open, New, etc., or use the pop-up
- menu. The pop-up menu (right mouse button click in the Zip Control
- window) shows the available accelerator keys.
-
- The accelerator key "Ctrl-H" toggles between the minimized "expert"
- mode and the standard Zip Control main window.
-
- "Minimize active window while processing" causes the active window,
- e.g., the UnZip window, to be minimized while the unzip is in
- process. A small progress window will be displayed in a corner of
- the screen. This frees up screen "real estate" during long
- processing, e.g., large zips or unzips.
-
- Once the process completes, the active window, if minimized, will be
- restored to the size and location it was before being minimized.
-
- "Display progress window even if not minimized" forces the progress
- window to be displayed during an "action" even if the action window
- is not to be minimized during processing.
-
- "Extended selection" sets the default list box selection mode to
- Extended. Otherwise, the selection mode is Multiple.
-
- "Extended" selection allows the selection (highlighting) of one or
- more than one lines in a list box by dragging the mouse over those
- entries while mouse button one is depressed. Single entries can be
- selected or deselected by clicking the left mouse button while
- depressing the Ctrl key.
-
- "Multiple" selection allows the selection of multiple list box
- entries by making left mouse button clicks, one at a time, on the
- list box entries. Select a highlighted entry again to deselect it.
-
- "SmartView" sets the default View operation of Zip Control to use
- the Work Place Shell's associations to determine how to View a file
- contained in a zip file.
-
- For example, text files and icon files are associated with the
- System Editor (E.Exe) and the Icon Editor (IconEdit.exe),
- respectively, in the default OS/2 installation. These WPS
- associations can be changed by editing the entries on the
- Associations page of WPS objects.
-
- In the example above, with SmartView enabled, a request to View a
- file which has a .ico file extension will display that icon file
- using the Icon Editor (IconEdit.exe). This is the same way that the
- file would be viewed if opened from the WPS or from the Drives
- object.
-
- With SmartView disabled, the View command will use the View program
- defined on the Programs page of the Zip Control Settings notebook.
- This feature is handy in viewing a text file which has, as its file
- extension, an extension that the WPS would incorrectly interpret. An
- example would be a file with a .inf extension which is a text file,
- not a file to be viewed with the OS/2 program View.exe.
-
- "LaserJet 2-up" sets the default Print option to use the LaserJet
- 2-up printing capability. This option prints two pages of a text
- file on each page of paper, side by side. Additionally, a header and
- footer is printed on each page.
-
- "AutoOpen" automatically opens the file open dialog box when Zip
- Control is started.
-
- "AutoComments" automatically opens the Comments window, if the zip
- file contains archive comments or certain extended attributes (EAs).
-
- "AutoTest" automatically tests each zip file when it is "opened".
- The test is for zip file integrity (or corruption), using the UnZip
- -t option.
-
- "AutoScan" automatically virus scans each zip file when it is
- "opened". This requires that a virus scan program be defined in the
- Settings notebook, Programs page. AutoScan can be particularly
- helpful since easy Internet access to files that may not have been
- virus scanned (such as in "/incoming/" directories) increases virus
- risk.
-
- "Save colors/fonts" sets the default for each window to save the
- colors and fonts used for that window. This allows customization of
- the colors and fonts on a window by window basis, using OS/2's drag
- and drop of colors and fonts (or color schemes) to Zip Control's
- windows or window components, e.g., background color or push button
- font.
-
- "Reset Colors/Fonts" will remove ALL previously saved Zip Control
- window colors and fonts. The result is that Zip Control will revert
- back to using the color scheme which is active for OS/2.
-
- The default settings above may be individually overridden (within the
- appropriate window).
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. Options - UnZip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Options - UnZip page of the Settings notebook defines default options used
- when unzipping.
-
- "Move .Zip file to repository after unzipping".
-
- If checked, the .zip file will be moved from its current directory
- to the directory defined in the Settings Notebook, "Repository
- directory for .Zip files after unzipping" field. This is helpful in
- keeping the downloaded files organized. The files which haven't yet
- been unzipped will be in the download directory. The files which
- have been unzipped will have been automatically moved to a
- "repository" for such files.
-
- "Put files in a subdir (= file name) of .Zip location".
-
- This is one convenient way to organize your downloaded files. This
- option creates a subdirectory of the directory in which the zip file
- is located. The name of the subdirectory will be the same as the zip
- file name (without the extension).
-
- For example, if the download directory (default zip file location)
- were C:\Download and the file Tools.zip had been downloaded to
- C:\Download, then Zip Control would create the directory
- C:\Download\Tools and place the contents of Tools.zip in that
- directory. (This option and the Use Zip Location option on the Paths
- page of the Settings notebook are mutually exclusive.)
-
- "Respect" the stored path(s) in the zip file (or not).
-
- "Respect" (the default and recommended), when checked, will unzip
- the files in the zip file to the target directory, create (if
- necessary) the relative paths (directories) as subdirectories to the
- target directory, and properly place the unzipped files in the
- correct subdirectories.
-
- When "Respect" is NOT checked, the files in the zip file will be
- placed in the target directory . . . even if the intended file paths
- had been stored in the zip file.
-
- "Update" existing files and create new ones as needed.
-
- "Update" will, during the unzip process, replace existing files of
- the same name in the target directory IF and ONLY IF the files in
- the zip file have a later creation date than the same-named files in
- the target directory.
-
- "Update" will also, during the unzip process, unzip any files in the
- zip file which are not in the target directory.
-
- "Freshen" existing files, but do not create new files.
-
- "Freshen" will perform as "Update" (above) does but WILL NOT unzip
- any files in the zip file which are not in the target directory.
-
- "Freshen" is not compatible with the "Never overwrite" option, since
- "never overwriting" existing files and not unzipping files which do
- not exist in the target directory leaves nothing for UnZip.exe to
- do.
-
- "Update" and "Freshen" are mutually exclusive selections.
-
- With neither "Update" nor "Freshen" selected (the default and
- recommended), the files ("Selected" or "All") in the zip file will
- be unzipped to the target directory, REPLACING any existing files of
- the same name, regardless of file creation date, and also unzipping
- files which do not currently exist in the target directory . . .
- subject to the "Never overwrite" option.
-
- "Never overwrite" existing files.
-
- "Never overwrite" will prevent UnZip.exe from unzipping files from
- the zip file which already exist in the target directory.
-
- "Don't make names lower case."
-
- "Don't make names lower case" will prevent UnZip.exe from converting
- to lower case, file names which were originally stored as upper case
- on a DOS system.
-
- "Report 'UnZip' error > than:" defines the error level at which Zip
- Control will report a possible error. UnZip reports the errors
- described in the UnZip.doc file. Error "0" means no errors
- detected. Error "1" implies warnings of non-fatal irregularities.
- Error "2", unfortunately, can include both warnings and fatal
- errors. Zip Control defaults to reporting "UnZip" errors above "2".
-
- The default settings above may be individually overridden (within the UnZip
- window) when performing each unzip.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3. Options - Zip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Options - Zip page of the Settings notebook defines default options used
- when zipping.
-
- "Store path(s)" will store the proper path (directory) names in the
- zip file, relative to the highlighted directory. If you have
- selected several files from the "File" list, those files will be
- zipped, stored with the beginning path being the highlighted path in
- the "Directory" list. If you have selected (highlighted) a directory
- with the "Select Directory" button, all the files in the directory
- will be zipped, if All Files is checked; otherwise, just the
- directory name will be stored. If All Files is checked and Store
- Path is checked, then the directory name along with all its files
- will be stored.
-
- "Zip all subdirs too" zips all files in the selected directory plus
- all the files in its subdirectories. In most cases you should also
- select "Store path(s)" so that Zip can resolve zipping two files
- with the same file name. If you are certain that no two file names
- in the highlighted directory and its subdirectories have the same
- name, "Store path(s)" is optional.
-
- "Store path of selected dir" will use the path of the selected
- directory as the "top level" directory when "Store path(s)" is
- selected. Normally (unchecked), directory names will only be stored
- for the files in the subdirectories of the highlighted directory.
-
- "System/Hidden files" - Files with the system and/or hidden file
- attribute are displayed in the file list, but are not stored in the
- zip file unless this item is checked.
-
- "Freshen" - If the file to be added to the zip file is already in
- the zip file AND is newer than the one in the zip file, the newer
- file will replace the one in the zip file. The file will be added
- ONLY IF there is already a file by that name (and path) in the zip
- file.
-
- "Update" - This is the same as "Freshen" except that, if the file is
- not already in the zip file, it will be added to the zip file.
-
- "Grow (faster/risky)" - Normally Zip adds files to a temporary file,
- and if that completes successfully, it deletes the old zip file (if
- any) and renames the temporary file to the old name. This has some
- added safety at the expense of slightly slower processing time and
- using more disk space temporarily. The Grow option can be use to
- dynamically extend an existing zip file. If all goes well, then
- everything will be fine. However, if OS/2 is stopped due to a power
- outage (or some other problem), then the integrity of the "in
- process" zip file would be suspect.
-
- ".Zip date = latest file" - The file date of the zip file will be
- changed to match the date of the newest file in the zip file.
-
- "Compression" can be adjusted, by using the spin buttons, to set a
- value from 1 (the fastest compression mode->larger .zip files) to 9
- (the slowest compression mode->smallest .zip files). The default is
- 9.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4. Options - QwikEval ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Options - QwikEval page of the Settings notebook defines default "Auto"
- options for the QwikEval window.
-
- "Test", when checked, will auto-run UnZip's "Test" function against
- the currently open zip file, when QwikEval starts.
-
- "Extract", when checked, will cause the contents of the zip file to
- be extracted to a temporary directory for possible scanning and for
- file review, automatically after the Test operation has competed.
- The directory containing the extracted files will appear on the
- Desktop. This will allow you to run an Install program or to "test
- run" the program.
-
- "Scan" causes the Scan function to be automatically started against
- the files Extracted to the temporary directory, after Extract
- completes. Upon the completion of the Scan, a report will be
- displayed listing the results of the Scan.
-
- "ReZip" is automatically run after Comments completes. This will
- rezip the contents of the temporary directory at the maximum
- compression, with stored paths, and with the any new comments, to
- the new file name supplied.
-
- "Delete", when checked, will automatically delete the temporary
- QwikEval directory, upon Exit.
-
- "Exit" is performed automatically after the ReZip or Delete is
- completed. If Exit is explicitly selected, and if Delete is set to
- Auto, the QwikEval temporary directory will be deleted prior to
- Exiting.
-
- "Report 'Test' error > than:" defines the error level at which Zip
- Control will report a possible error. The UnZip "Test" option
- reports the errors described in the UnZip .doc file. Error "0" means
- no errors detected. Error "1" implies warnings of non-fatal
- irregularities. Error "2", unfortunately, can include both warnings
- and fatal errors. Zip Control defaults to reporting any "Test"
- errors above "1".
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5. Paths ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Paths page of the Settings notebook defines default paths used by Zip
- Control.
-
- Directory where zip files usually are.
-
- Set this path (drive and directory) to where you normally download
- zip files.
-
- Directory into which zip files are usually unzipped.
-
- Set this path (drive and directory) to where you usually want zip
- files unzipped.
-
- The option to, by default, unzip files into the same directory in
- which each zip file is located (rather than using the default output
- directory).
-
- Working directory for Zip Control.
-
- Set this path (drive and directory) to a directory on a disk drive
- which has significant free disk space. This working directory is
- used for the temporary files created by Zip.exe and Zip Control.
-
- Note: A subdirectory, ~ZipWork, of the work location directory is
- used for Zip Control temporary files created when using
- "View", "Print", "New", "Add", and "Delete". The temporary
- files should be automatically cleaned up by Zip Control.
- However, if they are not automatically deleted, you may
- delete them at any time. The temporary files should all be
- located in the ~ZipWork subdirectory.
-
- Since the work location directory will be used to create potentially
- large temporary files, select a path (drive and directory) which has
- significant free disk space.
-
- Repository directory for .Zip files after unzipping.
-
- This directory will store .zip files which have been unzipped. The
- .zip files in the download directory will be moved here after
- unzipping IF the "Move .Zip file to repository after unzipping"
- option is checked on the Options, UnZip page of the Settings
- Notebook.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.6. Programs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Programs page of the Settings notebook defines programs used by Zip
- Control.
-
- The name, and optionally path, of the Zip program. This program is
- usually named Zip.exe and is usually found in an archive named
- Zipnnn.zip or Zipnnnc2.zip.
-
- The name, and optionally path, of the UnZip program. This program is
- usually named UnZip.exe and is usually found in a self-extracting
- archive named UnZnnn.exe or UnZnnnx2.exe.
-
- The name, and optionally path, of the UnZipSFX program (a
- Zip2EXE-type file, found in the UnZip archive set). This file,
- UnZipSFX.exe, is a file which is used by Zip Control to build a
- self-extracting archive, i.e., convert a zip file to an .exe file
- that can then be "self-extracted" by just "running" the .exe file in
- an OS/2 session or from the Desktop. The full path (drive,
- directory, and file name) is required IF UnZipSFX.exe is not in a
- directory which is included in the PATH statement in the Config.sys
- file.
-
- The UnZipSFX.exe file is included in the self-extracting archive
- which included UnZip.exe. This archive is usually named UnZnnnx2.exe
- or UnZnnn.exe, where nnn is the latest version of UnZip.
-
- The name, and optionally path, of the program with which you wish to
- view files stored within the zip file when not using the SmartView
- feature. This could be the E.exe or EPM.exe editors which come with
- OS/2 or another editor or viewer, such as List.exe could be used.
- The viewer entered in this entry field will only be used in those
- cases where the SmartView feature is (usually temporarily) disabled,
- e.g., to "view" an OS/2 cmd file.
-
- The method in which the view program is started may be customized
- ("Custom"). This may be helpful for DOS or OS/2 "viewers" which need
- to be forced to Full Screen or Windowed. This option is not normally
- needed.
-
- The full path and name of the OS/2 program to use to scan for
- viruses. The virus scanning feature is found in QwikEval.
-
- Default settings are built into Zip Control for the McAfee and IBM
- AntiVirus virus scanners. If non-default McAfee or IBM AntiVirus
- options are desired or if a virus scan program other than McAfee or
- IBM AntiVirus is to be used, select the Custom button to enter the
- custom parameters.
-
- See Virus Scan Program Custom Parameters
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Open ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Open button is one of several methods to make a specific zip file the
- "active" zip file. Once a zip file is "active," the list of files contained in
- the .zip file are listed in the "Zip File Contents" list box.
-
- The other methods of "activating" a zip file are:
-
- Dragging a zip file from the Desktop or a Drives folder to the Zip
- Files list box of the main window of a running Zip Control WHILE
- keeping the Shift and Ctrl keys pressed immediately prior to
- releasing the mouse button.
-
- Dragging one or more zip files from the Drives container (or the
- Desktop) to the Zip Control desktop program reference object.
-
- Starting the ZipCntrl.exe program from the command line, e.g.,
-
- ZipCntrl.exe MyFile.zip
-
- Double clicking on a .zip file from the Drives container (or the
- Desktop), if "*.zip" has been "associated" with Zip Control.
-
- The File Open Dialog Box
-
- The file open dialog box initially lists the *.zip files in the directory
- defined in the Settings notebook, Paths page, which describes the default
- location for zip files.
-
- Only files which have a .zip extension are listed. If you want to display a
- list of self-extracting (zip format) archives, change the "filter" in the Open
- filename entry field to "*.exe" and press the Enter key or click on the OK
- button.
-
- After selecting a zip archive, the file open dialog box will close, the title
- of the main window will be changed to reflect the name of the zip file, and
- the list of files contained in the zip archive will be displayed in the Zip
- File Contents list box.
-
- Zip Control "remembers" the last path (drive and directory) where you opened a
- zip file and will use this for the next Open (during that Zip Control
- session).
-
- AutoTest and AutoScan options in the Settings notebook, Programs page, cause
- Zip Control to automatically test for zip file corruption and scan for
- virus-infected programs each time a zip file is "opened".
-
- Note: If the AutoOpen option is selected, then Zip Control will automatically
- open the file open dialog box when started.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. UnZip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- "UnZip" acts on highlighted (Selected) files in the list box (from the zip
- file) or ALL files. You first have an opportunity to override the defaults
- listed in Settings, Options - UnZip and Settings, Options - Paths and to
- override the target directory. The target directory will be created if it does
- not exist. A progress indicator is provided.
-
- Also, the output path may be temporarily "for this session only" changed to
- either the default output path, the last output path, or the path where the zip
- file is located.
-
- For ease in selecting previous target paths, the last ten target paths are
- stored in the "Output path history." The list of previous target paths is
- accessible from the "down arrow" to the right of the Output path entry field.
-
- If you are unzipping a password-protected file, you will be asked to enter the
- password used by the person who originally created the zip file.
-
- See also:
-
- Settings notebook, Options - UnZip for explanations of the UnZip
- options that may be selected.
-
- Progress window
-
- User preferences Save/Reset colors/fonts
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Zip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When Zip Control is started, there is no active zip file. To create a new zip
- file, choose New. If the Add button is pressed when there is no currently
- "Open" zip file, New will be called automatically. You can tell which zip file
- is in use (or active) by the zip file name in the title bar.
-
- Several choices are available to Zip files (to add files to a new or existing
- zip file).
-
- New creates an empty zip file and makes it the active zip file.
-
- Add adds selected files to the active zip file. The active zip file
- may be an existing or new zip file.
-
- Delete deletes selected files from the active zip file.
-
- Save To saves the active zip file to a new file name (creates a new
- copy).
-
- Drag and Drop allows dragging files from the Desktop or a Drives folder to Zip
- Control's main window list box. One or more folders and/or files may be
- dragged at one time.
-
- The default drag mode is to zip a folder's files and the files in its
- subdirectories, storing the path name for any files in subdirectories, but not
- storing path names for files that are in the top level directory (the
- directory "dragged").
-
- Pressing the Ctrl key while dragging and dropping will store the path name
- with the files for both the files in the subdirectories and those in the top
- level directory.
-
- Pressing both the Ctrl and Shift keys while dragging and dropping will result
- in no path names being stored, UNLESS a file only (no directories/folders) is
- being dragged, in which case, the zip file will be "Opened".
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1. New ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Zip Control opens with no active zip file. Choose "New" to begin building a new
- zip file.
-
- If you wish to create a new zip file while another zip file is being displayed
- in Zip Control, press the "New" button, and a new, empty zip file (and empty
- list box) will be created. You will be asked to name the New zip file. "New"
- will automatically choose "Add" to add files to the new zip file.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2. Add ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- An entire directory or selected files may be added to the "Selected" list. As
- you add each selection to the list, the "Encrypt, "Store path", "Store path of
- selected dir", "Subdirectories", "Freshen", "Update", "System/Hidden", "Grow",
- ".Zip date", "After date:", and compression speed choices will be applied to
- the selected files and directories. Additions may be made to a New zip file or
- to an existing (and already "Open") zip file.
-
- Note: Choose the options that you wish to use BEFORE selecting files or
- directories to be added to the zip file. You will notice that your
- chosen options will be included in the list of files to be zipped.
- Choose options first, THEN choose files and directories.
-
- "Encrypt" stores a password in the zip file being created or modified.
- The password you supply will be required by anyone attempting to unzip
- the files that you are adding to the zip file.
-
- "Store path(s)" will store the proper path (directory) names in the zip
- file, relative to the highlighted directory. If you have selected several
- files from the "File" list, those files will be zipped, stored with the
- beginning path being the highlighted path in the "Directory" list. If you
- have selected (highlighted) a directory with the "Select Directory"
- button, all the files in the directory will be zipped, if All Files is
- checked; otherwise, just the directory name will be stored. If All Files
- is checked and Store Path is checked, then the directory name along with
- all its files will be stored.
-
- "Store path of selected dir" will use the path of the selected directory
- as the "top level" directory when "Store path(s)" is selected. Normally
- (unchecked), directory names will only be stored for the files in the
- subdirectories of the highlighted directory.
-
- "Zip all subdirs too" zips all files in the selected directory plus all
- the files in its subdirectories. In most cases you should also select
- "Store path(s)" so that Zip can resolve zipping two files with the same
- file name. If you are certain that no two file names in the highlighted
- directory and its subdirectories have the same name, "Store path(s)" is
- optional.
-
- "System/Hidden files" - Files with the system and/or hidden file
- attribute are displayed in the file list, but are not stored in the zip
- file unless this item is checked.
-
- "Grow (faster/risky)" - Normally Zip adds files to a temporary file, and
- if that completes successfully, it deletes the old zip file (if any) and
- renames the temporary file to the old name. This has some added safety at
- the expense of slightly slower processing time and using more disk space
- temporarily. The Grow option can be use to dynamically extend an existing
- zip file. If all goes well, then everything will be fine. However, if
- OS/2 is stopped due to a power outage (or some other problem), then the
- integrity of the "in process" zip file would be suspect.
-
- ".Zip date = latest file" - The file date of the zip file will be changed
- to match the date of the newest file in the zip file.
-
- "After date:", when checked, will zip (add) files which have been
- modified after (00:00am) the date specified.
-
- Compression can be adjusted, by dragging the slider button, from 1 (the
- fastest compression mode->larger zip files) to 9 (the slowest compression
- mode->smallest zip files). The default is 9, but can be changed in the
- Settings notebook, Options - Zip page.
-
- Once files have been added to the "Selected" list, they may be highlighted.
- Files selected (highlighted) when the "Delete" button is pressed will be
- removed from the "Selected" list.
-
- Files are not actually zipped and added to the zip file until the "OK" button
- is pressed.
-
- "Comments" - This selection allows you to add comments to the zip file. After
- this selection is made, any current comments for the file will be displayed.
- These may be changed or deleted or additional comments added. Optionally, a
- previously prepared comments file may be "imported" at the point where the
- cursor is located.
-
- "Cancel" - All proposed additions to the zip file and comment changes are
- cancelled.
-
- "OK" - begins the Add process. All directories and files in the Selected list
- will be added to the zip fle regardless of whether they are highlighted or
- not. Depending on the number of files to be added, this may be a quick or slow
- process. A progress window will be displayed.
-

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.3. Delete ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Use this selection to delete selected files from an existing zip file. A
- confirmation is required.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.4. Save To ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- An existing zip file will be saved to a name you select. Save To will not
- replace or rename an existing zip file, but will create a copy of the existing
- file with the new file name. As an example, if the current file is
- "Backup.zip", Save To may create a new file "110393.zip" (a copy of
- Backup.zip), but leave Backup.zip as it was. This will allow you to safely
- delete and add files to the new zip file without harming the original zip file.
- Save To has to be done prior to the deletion and addition since those choices
- perform immediate deletion and addition to the current zip file.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. View ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- View passes ALL highlighted files in the list box to the default View program
- (E.EXE, LIST.EXE, etc.) defined in the Programs page of the Settings notebook
- (if SmartView is "off") or to the editor which is "associated" with that type
- of file within OS/2 (if SmartView is active). Several files can be viewed at
- the same time.
-
- The default viewer may be helpful for viewing files which, as an example, have
- an .INF file extension, but are actually plain text files. The "defined viewer
- for that type file" will be determined by the "association" set via the Work
- Place Shell (if SmartView is active) or via the Zip Control Settings Notebook
- if SmartView is "off."
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Print ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- "Print" presents a listing of the files which have been highlighted. These
- files can be left selected (for printing) or not (will not be printed). Then
- the files will be printed to the printer which is selected from one of the
- installed printers.
-
- Simple LaserJet 2-up printing is an option.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Comments ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- "Comments" displays the embedded zip file comments, if present, and/or the
- associated extended attributes (EAs), if present.
-
- Embedded zip comments are optionally placed in the zip file by the person or
- organization that creates the zip file. The comments may contain descriptive,
- source, or copyright information.
-
- Golden CommPass, a very useful CompuServe off-line reader and download tool,
- optionally adds extended attributes to each downloaded zip file. The EAs
- include Subject, Key Phrases, Comments, and History. If you use Golden CommPass
- and have enabled this option (Options, Settings, Catalogs, "Save download
- description in EA"), Zip Control will display them in the Comments window.
-
- To switch between the display of embedded comments and EAs, select Show EAs or
- Show Comments with the mouse or use the keyboard shortcuts, "E" or "C".
-
- Note: If the "AutoComments" box is checked, comments (if any) stored in the
- zip file and/or extended attributes (if any) will automatically be
- displayed.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. QwikEval ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- "QwikEval" provides a temporary work space where an already "Opened" zip file
- may be "tested" for zip file integrity, "extracted" to a temporary directory,
- its contents "scanned" for viruses, and the virus "report" displayed.
-
- Additionally, "QwikEval" may be used to "test run" the contents of the zip file
- or the contents of the zip file may be "rezipped" at a greater compression.
-
- The capabilities of QwikEval are useful to SysOps of BBSs and online forums.
-
- "Test" invokes UnZip's -t option to test the integrity of the zip
- file and its contents.
-
- "Extract" extracts the zip file contents to a temporary directory
- (after first deleting any prior contents of that temporary
- directory) and then opens a folder on the Desktop containing those
- files. This permits a test run of any programs in the temporary
- directory.
-
- This is also helpful for those zip files which expect the contents
- to be extracted to a temporary directory in order to be installed.
- Once the product installation is completed, the temporary directory
- (and its contents) would then be deleted.
-
- "Scan" is used to virus check the contents of the zip file. It first
- extracts the contents of the zip file to a temporary directory. Then
- the virus scan program defined in Settings, Options - Programs is
- run against the files.
-
- The virus scan report is then displayed for review.
-
- "Comments" adds ad hoc or pre-defined comments to the archive.
-
- "ReZip" will automatically rezip the zip file contents, using
- maximum compression. This may be useful for BBS and online forum
- SysOps who want to minimize disk storage requirements and download
- time.
-
- "Delete" removes the temporary directory and its contents from the
- hard drive and from the Desktop.
-
- "Exit" leaves QwikEval and returns to the main Zip Control window.
-
- Note: "Auto" - When one of the QwikEval selections is completed, the next
- QwikEval selection is automatically performed if the box next to the
- selection is checked. This can speed use of QwikEval. Additionally, if
- the Auto box next to the Delete button is checked at the time that Exit
- is selected, the temporary extraction directory will be automatically
- deleted. Default "Auto" selections are Extract and Scan. The default
- "Auto" selections can be changed in the Settings notebook.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Search ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- "Search" is used to build a list of all zip files on one or more disk drives.
- The list of files is sorted by name+date+path, path+name+date, or
- date+name+path. This sort order may be changed at any time, without
- necessitating a re-search of the disk drives.
-
- If "Ascending" is checked, then the sort will be in ascending order, otherwise
- it will be in descending order.
-
- Individual files in the list may be selected for either deletion (perhaps
- duplicates) or opening (unzipping).
-
- All the other Zip Control capabilities are available for zip files "opened"
- from the Search window.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. User Preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- User preferences are "remembered" from session to session. The user preferences
- below, can also be changed several times within one session, without affecting
- the "remembered" default settings.
-
- SmartView
-
- AutoComments
-
- AutoOpen
-
- Extended Selection

- Colors/Fonts
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.1. SmartView ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- SmartView allows Zip Control to use the Work Place Shell settings
- (associations) to determine which editor (or other program) to use to display
- (or run) a file contained in a zip file when the View button is clicked.
-
- The default SmartView setting is defined in the Settings notebook, Options -
- General page.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2. AutoComments ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- AutoComments automatically opens the Comments window, if the zip file contains
- archive comments or has certain extended attributes (EAs) attached.
-
- The default AutoComments setting is defined in the Settings notebook, Options -
- General page.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.3. AutoOpen ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- AutoOpen automatically opens the file open dialog box when Zip Control is
- started.
-
- The default AutoOpen setting is defined in the Settings notebook, Options -
- General page.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.4. Extended Selection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Extended Selection enables that mode of selecting files from the Zip File
- Contents list box. With this mode active, you may press the mouse button and
- drag the mouse across multiple file names, selecting them all as you drag the
- mouse.
-
- The default Extended Selection setting is defined in the Settings notebook,
- Options - General page.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.5. Colors/Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Save Colors/Fonts, when selected, will save any color or font changes
- made to Zip Control. These changes are usually made by opening the
- System Setup Color, Scheme, and/or Font programs and dragging and
- dropping specific colors, schemes, and/or fonts on Zip Control windows or
- objects.
-
- The default Colors/Fonts setting is defined in the Settings notebook,
- Options - General page.
-
- Reset Colors/Fonts, when pushed, will reset ALL the colors, schemes,
- and/or fonts of Zip Control back to those that are active the next time
- Zip Control is started. This choice is located in the Settings notebook.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Trouble Shooting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Zip Control Error Messages
-
- Most users find Zip Control easy to use and license the software without
- reporting any problems. However, other users may have a different operating
- environment or may use Zip Control with zip files where Zip.exe or UnZip.exe
- send Zip Control error messages.
-
- In those cases, the ZC users will see a general error message from ZC which
- offers to display the error message reported by Zip.exe or UnZip.exe. It
- further offers to display additional information which you may wish to report
- to RPF Software.
-
- At that point RPF Software duplicates the problem and, if the problem is caused
- by Zip Control, makes the necessary software repairs to properly handle the
- problem. A new version of ZC is then made available.
-
- When the error message offers to display the specific error message as reported
- by Zip.exe or UnZip.exe, this alerts alert you to a possible problem with the
- zip file with which you are working.
-
- Prior to contacting RPF Software, you may wish to try the same action (zip or
- unzip) from the command line with either Zip.exe or UnZip.exe, as appropriate,
- to see if the same error is reported. Since this test will be done without Zip
- Control, if the error message occurs, the problem is then narrowed to either a
- problem with the zip file itself or a problem with Zip.exe or UnZip.exe.
-
- You may need to refer to the appropriate Zip.doc or UnZip.doc to determine the
- correct syntax for the command line programs.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Progress ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Some Zip and UnZip operations may be time consuming. For these, Zip Control
- displays a small progress window. Depending on the information that is
- available to Zip Control, the progress window will display either the %
- complete or elapsed time.
-
- If the "Minimize while processing" check box is checked, all of Zip Control
- will be minimized, with just the progress window keeping you informed of
- progress.
-
- The "Minimize while processing" check box may be checked at any time. If it is
- unchecked, Zip Control restores itself from its minimized state. The progress
- window remains.
-
- If the Cancel button is pressed, Zip Control will interrupt the UnZip, Zip, or
- other processing almost immediately.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Virus Scan Program Parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When entering the virus scan program path and name in the Settings notebook, it
- may be desirable to use the Custom settings.
-
- Should a decision be made to use the Custom settings, unpredictable results may
- occur, as Zip Control cannot anticipate (and, therefore, check for) all
- possible settings and possible errors (syntax, etc.) that may occur.
-
- If the McAfee OS/2 virus scanner (OS2SCAN.EXE) or the IBM AntiVirus scanner
- (IBMAVSP(2).EXE) is to be used, then the default settings are fine and there
- would normally be no need to use the Custom settings, unless there is a desire
- to override the built-in, default settings for those virus scanners.
-
- The default settings for the above virus scanners are:
-
- McAfee
- /ALL /SUB /APPEND /RPTCOR /RPTERR /REPORT $$$
-
- IBM AntiVirus
- -ALLFILES -LOG$$$ -COPENERR -CERR -NREP -NWIPE -NFSCAN
-
- See the McAfee and IBM AntiVirus user manuals for more information on the
- above parameters. The "$$$" is described below.
-
- To use another virus scanner, or to use the McAfee or IBM AntiVirus scanners
- with other than the above default settings, Custom settings may be used. An
- alternative to Custom settings may be environment variables in the config.sys
- file if the virus scanner supports them.
-
- The full path (drive:\directory\filename) for the virus scanner should be
- entered on the Settings notebook, Programs page, not in the Custom window.
-
- Zip Control creates a temporary virus scan report file which will be deleted
- after it is displayed.
-
- If there is a need to retain the virus scan report file, enter the full path
- (drive:\directory\filename) for the report file in the Report File entry
- field. Otherwise, leave it blank.
-
- If a report file name is entered as above, it will be assumed the file should
- be 'appended' to, i.e., Zip Control will still send the virus scan report to
- its normal temporary report file, but, after display of the report, will
- append the temporary file to the more permanent report file specified in the
- above entry field. This would allow the relatively permanent recording of scan
- history. It may be desirable to periodically delete the 'permanent' report
- file if its size grows large enough to negatively affect available disk space.
-
- If desired, enter virus scanner program parameters in the "Virus Scan Program
- Parameters (use $$$ for report file name)" entry field. See the virus scanner
- user manual for appropriate parameters to enter.
-
- One of the parameters entered should be one which will send the results of the
- virus scan to a report file. Instead of entering the report file name, enter
- the special symbol '$$$' (without the quotes). In other words, if the normal
- syntax for specifying a report file name would be similar to
-
- /REPORT c:\virus\myreport.rpt
-
- enter instead
-
- /REPORT $$$
-
- (IBM AntiVirus uses the
-
- -LOGc:\virus\myreport.rpt
-
- syntax, so enter
-
- -LOG$$$
-
- instead.)
-
- The '$$$' will allow Zip Control to substitute its temporary report file name
- at the location of the '$$$', to display the virus scan report, optionally
- append the generated virus report to the user-specified report file (if any),
- and then delete its temporary file.
-
- Do not enter the virus scan program name (or path, etc.) in the entry field.
- It is entered on the Settings, Programs page.
-
- To restore the virus scanner parameters to the appropriate McAfee or IBM
- AntiVirus default, blank (remove) all the information in the Parameters entry
- field.

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Drag and Drop Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Dragging Files TO Zip Control from Desktop or a Folder
-
- To Open a zip file by dragging and dropping it on the Zip Control list box,
- hold both the Ctrl and Shift keys down immediately prior to releasing the mouse
- button.
-
- To Add file(s) and/or directory(ies) to an already open zip file or to an empty
- Zip Control list box, the state of the Ctrl and Shift keys will affect whether
- and how path (drive:\directory) information will be stored in the zip file.
-
- Neither Ctrl nor Shift keys depressed when mouse button is released--no
- path for the immediate files but will store paths for any files in
- subdirectories.
-
- Only the Shift key depressed when mouse button is released--same as
- above.
-
- Only the Ctrl key depressed when mouse button is released--the path for
- the immediate files and for files in subdirectories will be stored in the
- zip file.
-
- Both Ctrl and Shift keys are depressed when the mouse button is released
- and one or more directories are being Added to the zip file--no paths
- will be stored and no subdirectories will be stored.
-
- Dragging Files FROM Zip Control to Desktop or a Folder
-
- If the file name over which the RMB drag is begun is highlighted, then
- all the highlighted files will be copied to the target folder.
-
- If the file that is dragged was not highlighted (others may have been
- highlighted), only the file over which the RMB drag was begun will be
- copied to the target folder.
-
- If a drag is begun over "white space", then all highlighted (if any)
- files will be copied to the target folder.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Command Line Parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Command Line Parameters
-
- Command line parameters may be used to alter the operation of Zip Control. The
- parameters may be passed to Zip Control when started from an OS/2 command line
- or may be entered in the "Parameters" field of the Zip Control program
- reference object on the OS/2 Desktop.
-
- /U
- AutoUnZip: Set up a separate program reference object to be used as the target
- when dragging zip files from the Desktop or from the Drives folders. Zip files
- dragged to this object will be unzipped according to the user settings of the
- Zip Control INI file, without opening any Zip Control windows.
-
- This option may be combined with the /I INI file command line parameter (see
- below) to access custom settings in a different INI file from the one used by
- normal Zip Control operations. For example, it may be helpful to use a Zip
- Control INI file containing a setting which defines the target drive and
- directory to be a subdirectory of the download directory, with the subdirectory
- created and named by Zip Control to be the same as the zip file name (without
- the .zip extension). See the on-line help for the Settings notebook,
- Options-UnZip page and Paths page.
-
- /I=drive:\directory\filename.ini
- INI File: The default INI file used by Zip Control is named ZipCntrl.ini and is
- expected to be in the same directory as ZipCntrl.exe.
-
- This parameter permits establishing one or more alternate INI files for Zip
- Control's use. The alternate INI file may contain different zipping, unzipping,
- paths, program names, etc., as set by the options selected in the Settings
- notebook.
-
- Or this capability could be used in a networked environment to enable having
- one copy of Zip Control on a network drive, with each individual user's
- preferences stored in a personal, local (or network) INI file.
-
- It is recommended that the full drive, directory, and INI filename be used with
- the /I parameter.
-
- Example:
-
- /I=C:\INIFILES\Custom.ini
-
- /D
- Debug: This option turns on "logging" for information about SYSnnnn type
- errors.
-
- When this option is defined in the parameters passed to Zip Control, the file
- "debug.log" will be placed in the directory in which the Zip Control .ini file
- resides. This file is a text file which may be included in an email, letter, or
- fax to RPF Software to assist in solving SYSnnnn type errors associated with
- Zip Control.
-
- To begin the creation of the debug.log file, just place "/D" (without the
- quotes) in the parameters field of the Zip Control program object or run Zip
- Control from the command line, passing "/D" as a parameter.
-
- Example:
-
- /D
-
- /Z1
- ZipVersionDate1: This option disables setting the thread priority to "idle" for
- the thread that attempts to determine the Version and Date of the Zip.exe
- program.
-
- The default (no /Zn parameter) is to set the thread priority to "idle." Some
- versions of OS/2 have had difficulty (stalls, thread starvation) with the
- "idle" thread priority. This parameter is provided to leave the thread at the
- default "regular" priority rather than Zip Control setting it to "idle."
-
- To leave the thread priority at "regular" rather than forcing it to "idle,"
- just place "/Z1" (without the quotes) in the parameters field of the Zip
- Control program object or run Zip Control from the command line, passing "/Z1"
- as a parameter.
-
- Example:
-
- /Z1
-
- /Z2
- ZipVersionDate2: This option eliminates the thread that attempts to determine
- the Version and Date of the Zip.exe program.
-
- If the default, no /Zn parameter, causes Zip Control problems with certain
- versions of OS/2, and if /Z1 does not provide satisfactory performance on
- initial startup and loading of a .zip file, /Z2 may be used to completely
- eliminate the thread that determines the Version and Date of Zip.exe. This
- information is primarily for diagnostic and display purposes and can be omitted
- without harm.
-
- To eliminate the Zip.exe Version and Date determination, just place "/Z2"
- (without the quotes) in the parameters field of the Zip Control program object
- or run Zip Control from the command line, passing "/Z2" as a parameter.
-
- Example:
-
- /Z2
-
- /F
- File Open Dialog enhancements: This option turns OFF the display of the filters
- (*.zip, *.exe, etc.) which have been added to the "Open" file open dialog
- window.
-
- A reason to do this may be if there are display or formatting problems in the
- "Open" window due to the display of the filters, perhaps in an older version of
- OS/2 or due to the use of an "add-on" utility which modifies the file open
- dialog window.
-
- Example:
-
- /F
