FILE = ARK2.DOC
Noah's Arkive Management System (c) 1988 Eagle Shareware Associates
PKPAK/PKZIP (c) 1986 - 1988 PKWARE, Inc. & Phil Katz
This file is for experienced users who will not read all of ARK.DOC and
users of NOAH 1.00 or PKSHELL 1.00-1.05 . . .
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
- A three letter extension for Noah to use in place of .ARC as the default.
Can also be toggled using the sub-menu (after initial selection) ...
INTERNAL HELP:
Pretty self-documenting and self-explanatory. Use the F10 key or "/" to
toggle the HotKeys menu for extra help in recalling what each key does, and
remember that the archive % are ad-hoc and are definitely NOT representative
of the actual .ZIP file size. Look for about 20-25% compression on average,
and over 75% for large ASCII only files.
ERRORS:
NOAH assumes you know what you are doing and does not trap all error
conditions. e.g. if you insist upon attempting to read a non-existent
NOATMP.BAT file NOAH will simply crash (fatal only to software, not your
system).
NEW:
- Custom command line option in sub-menu ... press any extract key to get to
the secondary menu and then try it out. Don't forget to specify the target
archive though!
- Custom highlight/search ... press the left/right arrow keys and NOAH will
seek the next file with the highlighted extension either up/down in the DIR.
Use the F8 option from the main menu to customize both the colors and that
search key extension.
- Pressing Enter will normally not do anything permanent. Pressing <ESC>
exits from the program at main, and returns to main from other sub-menus.
- Status window/bar for information you need while operating PKZIP across
multiple files.
- NOAH will mark the file the highlight bar is on if no files are marked.
CAVEAT:
Get into the habit of taking a last look at NOATMP.BAT, it may save you
plenty of grief! Particularly, the most common mistake is moving files to an
archive and then deleting the archive ... they are gone if you do that folks!
BBS TECH SUPPORT:
(215)-367-4053 300/1200/2400 8n1
Online 1/89+ Only fully tested Shareware/PD on the BBS, support
for registered users ASAP, and others as time is available.
REGISTERED?
If so, thanks! If not . . . print ARKREG.TXT and return it if you find
NOAH useful. User supported software is not possible without registered
users. Custom keys available upon request.
NEXT?
2.5Z >> totally redesigned with greater function, support, and speed.
Higher cost as well.
TECHNICAL:
NOAH requires 130K runtime RAM, at least about 5K free disk space. Color
would be handy. NOAH 2.06 requires BRUN40.EXE in the DOS path (included with
2.01 packaged with EZMENU in the $30 ValuePak).
DETAILS:
See ARK.DOC -- ENJOY!
