THE ZIP TERMINUS(c) V7.0B Copyright 1990-1993 By S.T.CALISE * All Rights Reserved * STC BBS: 908-206-1386 ***** ZTEC70B UPDATE INFORMATION ***** The Zip Terminmus 7.0B supports most PKZIP v1.1 and 2.04x options. Note that certain options like multi-volume spanned archives, etc. are not available with v1.1 . 1. Added heads-up option display for VIRUSCAN(tm) in submenu #5, "VIRUS SCAN FILES" . Added VIEW ACTIVITY/LOG selection. Virus scan options used during compress and extract operations are still set from the default table. 2. Added switch support for VIRUSCAN(tm) /history --> activity/log function. User is given opportunity to activate log option from the default table which is brought up by pressing F5-PROGRAM SETUP. Added to the default table is an entry which allows the user to specify the directory location and filename. The Zip Terminus takes advantage of VIRUSCAN's ability to recurse through the directory tree. The /SUB option is fed to VIRUSCAN whenever a recursive compress or extract with restoration of directory structure is being performed and the F8-VIRUS SCAN switch is in the ON position. 3. -ex option combination is now the default when running the ZIP TERMINUS v7.0B for the first time or when a configuration file is not found. This combination is both PKZIP v1.1 and v2.04g friendly. It translates to use maximum compression - create smallest ZIP file possible. The User may change this to most valid flat archive options supported by PKZIP. Press F5-SETUP at a menu or submenu and edit the default table. 4. Added popup help to guide user when editing compression or extraction option entries. Added to each submenu the ability to bring up PKZIP(tm) help display. 5. Revised the format of this documentation file to allow printing with proper paging, etc. on most types of printers. 6. Added switch selections for recursive compress with optional path structure inclusion. Added selection/support for extraction with optional restore/create path\directory structure. ZTEC 7.0B also allows extraction from Zips containing path\dir. structure information with the user option of specific or wildcard designated path\filename(s) without path\dir restoration. ZTEC70B UPDATE Information Cont. 7. Increased logical drive support from A..I to A..Z 8. The Zip Terminus v7.0B was re-designed to yield maximum memory free during the execution of memory intensive operations. Press Ctrl-F at the main menu to find out how much free conventional RAM is available. VIRUSCAN currently needs 320Kb and PKZIP(tm) 206kb (v2.04g) on an unexpanded machine. 9. This version of the ZIP Terminus was updated for VIRUSCAN(tm) version 9.14v102. 10. Floppy operation now limits program function selection to virus scan only. Compress, extract, make exe and other operations are not allowed if floppy installation work disk is detected. 11. This version of The Zip Terminus has menu selections for creation or restoration of recursive or non-recursive multi-volume ZIPs. Format, DOS verify, and other options are submenu select available. File extraction without path restoration and with the optional use of wildcard specification is available. 12. Added advanced user mode switching. Read the section entitled "ADVANCED USER MODE" found in this document. 13. Added the ability to run PKCFG.EXE from the default table. This gives the user option to modify the pkzip.cfg configuration file while running The Zip Terminus. PKCFG.EXE must be located in the same directory as PKZIP, PKUNZIP, etc. The current directory at the time of execution is the location of PKZIP. Read your manual. 14. The Zip Terminus attempts to detect earlier verisons of PKZIP. Zip Terminus menu options such as CREATE M-V ZIPs and RESTORE M-V Zips are not available under PKZIP v1.1 . 15. Zip Terminus v7.0B supports the use of DOS verify option during multi-volume archive creation. This option is switch selected. Use of PKZIP v2.04e or v2.04g is required. 16. Added trouble/error message section to the main documentation file. 17. Compress operations are suspended and request for continuation confirmation is made when the -m MOVE option is detected in the Zip Terminus default table entry for compress options. Read your PKZIP manual for more information on the -m move. ZTEC70B UPDATE Information Cont. 18. The following is a list of changes: ZTEC70B vs. ZTEC70A -m move option confirmation added; relaxed checking during wildcard extraction of recursive and MV Zips(allow -d and -x options to be accepted); added logical drive #B denial on single floppy machines when user selects CTRL + Drive Letter for others; added MV compress submenu selection for NO recurse and NO path structure inclusion to allow compress of single directory; whatsnew file renamed to readme70.txt; added file selection display...sort by name. Previously used natural order; added start-up option /v which sets F8-VIRUS SCAN FILES to the ON position when first starting The Zip Terminus - default is OFF. However, and as in version #70A, once turned on will stay on until toggled off; configuration table modified - read below. 19. ZTEC configuration table operation changed. Table entry #1 is no longer modifiable - it is set at program start-up. The table will be fully initialized when entry #1 does not agree with the start-up location of zt70b.exe or no configuration table found. Certain table entries are initialized to UNDEFINED!. Some programs used in conjunction with ZTEC may have already been installed or use an installation program which presets a certain directory location. User MUST CHANGE all UNDEFINED! table entries. Failure to do so may result in access to certain program functions being denied. Floppy installations, which allow only virus scan, initialize in a different manner.
