Doszip Commander File List ========================== DZ.EXE DZ.ICO DZMAIN.EXE DOSZIP.TXT DZ Loader Icon File for DZ.EXE DZ Main Shell *this file

The first time you run DZ.EXE, it creates a default configuration file (DZ.INI). Files added in the BETA release 1.0 (0.1.xx) -------------------------------------------COPYING subdir-->\INC \LIB \SRC GNU General Public License Library header files Library files are created here The source files are contained here

The version of the source code and binary files is the date and time in the .ZIP file (1:00 == v1.00) The date format is (Norwegian) dd.mm.yyyy The .ZIP files are DZBIN???.ZIP - Program files DZSRC???.ZIP - Source code Memory Requirements ===================

Doszip Commander needs at least 200K conventional memory in order to run all its internal viewers. The [Panel Filter] of each panel controles the global memory usage in the [Read count] section. The default count is 3000. The Doszip Commander comes with two additional memory configurations that can be selected from the command line. Each memory configuration limits the number of files that can be stored in each Commander File Panel. The command line syntax of these memory configurations are: Command Line ============ Command ------/T Description -------------------------------------------Launch Commander with TINY memory configuration. Number of files per panel is 500. Launch Commander with LARGE memory configuration. Number of files per panel is 5000. Trigger a mode change on startup. Set Configuration PATH to # This is the path on your hard disk where the Commander's files are stored (.CFG and .INI).

/XP (WinXP) /C#

DZ <filename> command starts DZ and forces it to show <filename> contents if it is an archive or show folder contents if <filename> is a folder. Compressed File Support ======================= Password protected Compressed files ----------------------------------While the Doszip Commander Compression Engine is compatible with PKZIP 1.x and PKZIP 2.x compress file formats, Commander only allows a single password for each compressed file to be active. Compression configuration ------------------------The compression utility is defined under the section [Packer], and must supports the concept of a response file. This file is created in the TEMP directory, and past on as argument to the utility. In PKZIP the @ character must precede the response filename. The command given to add a file is then: PKZIP -u -wHS @%TEMP%\ziplist The format of a compression utility is as follows: [00..15] [Packer] 00=<Extension_of_archive> 01=...

This text is displayed on the Method Selection Dialog box. The format of the definition is as follows: [00..19] [00..09] - If current panel use Short File Names [10..19] - If current panel use Long File Names [<Extension_of_archive>] 00=<command_0> 01=<command_1> 02=... The meaning of the numbers: 0: 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: Command to add a file to a compressed file. - and also store the file's full pathname. Command to extract a file from a compressed file. - and maintain it's full pathname. Command to delete a file from a compressed file. Command to create the smallest compressed file. Command to create a compressed file in the fastest possible time. Character that must precede the password. Character that must precede the target directory. Character that must precede the response filename.

Viewer Support ============== Internal Viewer --------------To launch the internal viewer contained within DZMAIN.EXE, type F3 (= Macro %VIEW%). Defining Viewers ---------------All viewers are defined in the file DZ.INI. You can modify the [View] section of DZ.INI file to associated 4 viewers: [View] F3 = Alt = Ctrl = Shift = Editor Support ============== Defining Editor --------------All editors are defined in the file DZ.INI. You can modify the [Edit] section of DZ.INI file to associated 4 editors: [Edit] F4 Alt Ctrl Shift = = = = ; ; ; ; Editor Editor Editor Editor for for for for F4 (= Macro %EDIT%) Alt+F4 Ctrl+F4 Shift+F4 ; ; ; ; You can override the internal viewer by redefine F3 Viewer for Alt+F3 Viewer for Ctrl+F3 Viewer for Shift+F3

Extension and Filename Support ============================== Defining Filetypes -----------------You can modify the [Filetype] section to associated files in the format as follows: <ext> = <command> !.! - filetype <name> = <command> - filename (no ext) Multiple commands are parsed to a batch file: - use the ", " to separate the commands. Example: README.TXT [Filetype] TXT=echo !, echo .!, echo !.! Expands to a batch file: @echo off echo README echo .TXT echo README.TXT The macro !.! expand as follows: .INI entry Filename Output --------------------------------------------mak=make -f! foo.mak: make -ffoo makefile=make makefile: make makefile ext=echo .! !! foo.ext: echo .ext ! ext=echo foo.ext: echo foo.ext foo=echo !.! foo: echo foo Doszip Commander Environment Variables ====================================== Doszip searches your environment for the following environment variables: COMSPEC, PATH, TEMP and DZ. Using the Commander with a RAM disk presents a special problem: if you save the setup, or if you change the menu file, these changes will be made to the files on the RAM disk. Which means you'll loose your changes as soon as you reboot or turn off your computer. The Commander provides two solutions to this problem. <> You can put a line into your autoexec.bat file that tells the Commander where to find these files, as well as other file's it needs that you haven't copied to the RAM disk. Put the following line into your autoexec.bat file: SET DZ=C:\DOSZIP

'DZ' is the path on your hard disk where the Commander's files are stored. <> You can use the /C switch on the command line: DZ /CC:\DOSZIP Windows 95/98/XP Compatibility ============================== Doszip uses the 'Windows95 LONG FILENAME' functions if avalible. Doszip uses the 'WINOLDAP' functions if avalible. This enables clipboard functions to Copy and Paste text from Windows. To use graphical colors in XP demands a mode-change in order to set the colors. This is Not done by the program. The -xp switch on the command line will trigger this mode-change on startup. Installing Commander under Windows ================================== Right click your desktop, select New->Shortcut. Type in the full path name of the DZ.EXE file, e.g. C:\DOSZIP\DZ.EXE, or use the browse button if you are not sure of the path. Select the OK button. Select the Change Icon button. Type in the full path name of the DZ.ICO file, e.g. C:\DOSZIP\DZ.ICO, or use the browse button if you are not sure of the path. Select the OK button. The Doszip Commander is now installed on your desktop. Creating a tools menu ===================== It is possible to add a user defined Tools Menu to the Doszip Commander's main menu. All Tool-items are defined in the file DZ.INI. You can modify the [Tools] section of DZ.INI to associated 20 Tool-items: [00..19] To define a Menu item use the following format: XX = <> ; Insert a line XX = Menu_Item_Name, Command_to_be_invoked_when_selected XX = Menu_Item_Name, [Menu_to_be_invoked_when_selected] Macros that can be used in 'Command' expand as follows: %EDIT% %VIEW% [Edit] --> F4=<> | (null) [View] --> F3=<> | Internal viewer

%FIND%

Internal File Search(command)

These must be the first command on the line. The macro %DOSZIP% may appear any place in the command line, and expand to the directory where the commander is located. You can insert commands into a sub-menu in the same way described above. For example a simple Tools Menu may look like: ---------------------------------------------[Tools] 00 = &Add tool, 01 = <> 02 = &Doszip directory, [Doszip] 00 = Doszip &Command Line, 01 = View &DZ.INI, 02 = View &README.TXT, 03 = Search &Source Directory, 04 = Search &Include Directory, 05 = <> 06 = &Previous Menu.., The File Search utility ======================= The File Search utility use the short keys Ctrl-S or Shift-Tab, but from the command line or configuration file you can use the macro %find% <directory> <file_mask(s)> <text_to_find_in_files> Example: %find% %doszip% *.h *.inc *.c *.asm ? Short Keys ---------F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8, Delete F9 Esc, Alt-X Operation Filter ================ Choosing the Filters button (available on many of the file operation panels - such as copy or move) displays the Operation Filters dialog box. The filters allow the users to specify file selection based on file name, date, size and attributes. The definitions for the Operation Filters used are stored in the DZ.CFG file. %EDIT% %DOSZIP%\DZ.INI [Doszip] %DOSZIP%\DZ.EXE -? %VIEW% %DOSZIP%\DZ.INI %VIEW% %DOSZIP%\README.TXT %FIND% %DOSZIP%\src\*.* %FIND% %DOSZIP%\inc\*.* [Tools]

Save result to list file. View current file - same as Enter. Edit current file - exit and execute external editor. Launch the Operation Filter dialog. Toggle ascii/hex search string. Start a new search. Delete file from list. Load predefined file mask from .INI file. Exit program.

You can modify the [Filter] section of DZ.INI file to add pre-defined filters for use in commonly performed searches. Use F3 to load pre-defined filters to [Include] and [Exlcude]. Use F4 to load date from the calendar to [File date].
