"Introduction to the world of ZooLDIZ 2" ZoolDIZ is the most powerful and efficent @{"File_ID.Diz" Link D.} processor known in modem world. It handles all files automatically (If sysop wants so), and is designed especially to work with multinode systems. Development is always UpToDate, because ZoolDIZ has got many betatesters in Helsinki, Finland near the author. ZoolDIZ has been developed, keeping in mind, users & sysops own needs and easy to use. ZoolDIZs most powerful option is to describe all files, without even ONE keypress! All runs automatic (Unless SysOP wants users to select lines to be used from @{"DIZ" Link D.}). @{b}I asked opinions through CNets own vote-door, and look at these outstanding results!: @{u}>20% I couldn't use ANYTHING ELSE!@{uu} 30% I'm in love with ZOOLDIZ! 30% I LIKE IT; But do not love it.@{ub} (And this questionaire was made in the early states of the development!)

Version : 2.0x+ 19.11.95: Done some bugfixs... Version : 2.0z 25.11.95: Error handling better & bugfixs Version : 2.1z 01.12.95: Sorry for the next digit ;(... BugFixes & REAL Vi- rusChecking (It works in background, so you won't even notice it) Version : 2.1Pro 18.12.95: BugFixes.. added BBSdescription support!!! Whouu Why didn't I do this earlier [Thanks dMR!] Fixed AMiNET desc. system for unknown files.. Version : 2.11Pro 09.01.96: Added moduleauthor stripping & modified some stuff Testing and cleaning up, it seems that we are rea- dy for public, camoon guyz! Version : 2.15Pro 03.02.96: Bugfixs, improved modulename & author scanning! Started using keyfile! Version : 2.20Pro 10.02.96: Bugfixs & Added ZIP support in module extract!! Again improved moduledata extracting and added possibility to ignore modulesauthors groupnames. Cleaned up the system a bit. Version : 2.23Pro 13.02.96: Great bugfix version, finally fixed ADDIZ problem and there shouldn't be anymore errors! The priorities of scantypes has also been changed! Now it's "DIZ-MOD-DUBBEL-BBS", before this it was: DIZ-BBS-MOD-DUBBEL and that caused problems! Version : 2.25Pro 15.02.96: Added VirusChecking support for VirusZ II! Version : 2.30Pro 22.02.96: Made great Compact mode improvents, also fixed a bug in >8 diz mode, actually the Mci-File was created even when diz contained only 7 lines.. Thanks Grand Zumba!! Fixed moddesc lowercase opt. Finally made Visual ed support better.. hmm Version : 2.33Pro 01.03.96: rewritten VirusChecking system.. now it uses GUI! Fixed rest of the >8 bugs etc... Version : 2.37Pro 13.03.06: New PlaySID system [SID] Name.......(author) etc.. Version : 2.38Pro 14.04.96: Fixed sum shit.. New K-file system Version : 2.40Pro 30.06.96: Fixed some ZIP-errors, and problems with the Mod- unpackdir handling... shouldn't have so many er- rors anymore! Version : 2.45Pro 04.07.96: Fixed Compact Mode (bug), removed scanning of LHA/LZX archives without a suffix (.lha/.lzx) Version : 2.46Pro 20.01.97: Wow, there's been a while... changed some archive indentification methods! Version : 2.47Pro 04.02.97: There was a bug which caused some errors when file- name was less than 4 characters long. (eg. C64) Jesus, that one must have been there for a while!! Version : 2.55Pro 07.02.97: Added full support for XPK & PowerPacked files. If some file is packed with either XPK or PP, it will be unpacked and processed like it was never packed (needed: c:xfdDecrunch, Libs: xfdmaster.library, Libs:xpkmaster.library & the XPK compressor libs!) [I think you'll never need this but if you do so, then it's kinda handy to have it around :)] Also fixed some sound-module name parser bugs. Tried to clean up the code a bit, but I think that I should reorganize this baby a bit. Gee, I found a bug which caused ZoolDIZ fail to recognize .LZH! For safety reasons, _no diz_ will be added to EXE files. Changed all external command paths. They will be located in PFiles:ZoolDIZ/External_Comma- nds/ path. No C: nor SYS:C will be used. Therefore "Give names to External MODs" gadget in ZoolCON is obsolete! Version : 2.57Pro 11.02.97: Fixed some problems with the XPK system. Now xpk CRYPTED files will be ignored. I wrote completely new installation system for ZoolDIZ. Run it! Version : 2.58Pro 14.02.97: Fixed some PowerPacker support bugs. Optimized & cleaned up the code a lot=>Numerous little chan- ges, additions and bugfixes! Version : 2.59Pro 23.02.97: Some little fixes, PT-Modules changed to new form: [MOD] Name.........(Author) Version : 2.60Pro 06.03.97: Enchaced the Module-Authorname scanner a bit, Chanced [SID] to [PSID] & [MOD] to [PTMD] Version : 2.61Pro 25.03.97: Some internal changes, made a aminet-header/ footer system. Finally fixed that MORE?-prompt! Version : 2.62Pro 16.05.97: Came across with a stupid missing ')' char bug. Could cause errors in modulescan. Fixed. Version : 2.65Pro 29.11.97: Haa, delays do rule :).. anyway I downloaded this mp3info program and decided to add Mp0-3 support to ZoolDIZ. It took 2 hours, but I think is cer- tainly is worth it. And I changed the [PSID] & [PTMD] tags back to [SID] & [MOD]. I tested only mp2 & mp3. Version : 2.66Pro 03.12.97: Made a simple ARJ support. Only plain File_id.diz. ZoolDIZ mainfile exceeds 100kb :) Version : 2.67Pro 08.04.98: Sum major/minor cleanups for public version ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @{b}Known bugs@{ub}................: - None Known... on slow machines ZoolDIZ just won't always work as it should! - @{b}These aren't bugs@{ub}... 1. There are some problems with "Dubbel" - Scan.. For Example..: If you upload a archive (ex. with a textfile and 3 sidmodules) and the size of the archive is less than 25kbytes, the biggest file will be only proses- sed!.. sorry about that, but the possibility, that someone describes a arc- hive like this is almost zero! :) (Mail me if you ran into situation like ke this!) [read Dubbel scan at @{"Introduction to the world of ZooLDIZ 2" Link 1.} 2. In localnode More Prompt appears sometimes, but it's CNets fault... Use "full interlaced" screen to prevent this from happening... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - @{fg shine}If you do feel that ZoolDIZ does something that it shouldn't, then contact the author and ask about it...@{fg text} @{b}Things on my TO DO list@{ub}...: - Support to more moduleformats (MED etc.) - I just can't get any more ideas ;(... I tried to do a real nice visual type editor for descriptions, but due the "FEATURES" in CNet, you can't use it locally, because the maygetchar cursor problem. (the getchar function shows the cursor, but it gives only upper case chars out!...) I will anyway add this editor soon... If you got a sollution to this, please mail me... - AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?...

"Your GUIDE to take the most out of ZOOlDIZ ©!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The most powerful option of ZoolDIZ, when compared to other @{"DIZZER" Link D.} softwares is the flexibility of ZoolDIZ... It will always suite to your needs... If you like a socalled "3li73"- board, you can use @{"SENTBY" Link D.}-lines with colors, description with 99 lines, including group logos, etc... or you can just force users to pick by hand only few lines from diz, to really tell, what's inside of the archive... If you are describing LHA/LZX archive, ZoolDIZ will scan the arc for possib- le modules... if it finds only one module, it will se, if the size of the mo- dule is enough of the whole size of the archive, it will unpack it, and pre- tend, like it was just a one unpacked module... ZooLDIZ will scan all unpacked modules(*) for Author NAME and module NAME... It will add those informations as description in format: @{b}(*) & (**)@{ub} NAME................................(AUTHOR) If you upload/describe modules and the package contains DiZ, then you can ignore the whole description and jump into ZoolDIZ - modscan with button (I) ! Easy, isn't it? @{u}If you wan't to DELETE all signatures (SENT-BYs), then execute@{uu}: @{b}"DELETE_SIGNATURES.rexx"@{ub}.. as a @{u}AREXX-DOOR@{uu} it will do it for you! ZoolDIZ may confuse you by all it's unlisted great options... so you'll need to take your time with ZoolDIZ, to master it, and make your Uploading and description writing as easy as it will be possible.... If you want to @{u}ADOPT AMiNET CD-ROMS or similiar system@{uu}, do like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (9) For ZoolDIZ testing purposes!> @{b}ao@{ub} Adopt from which partition @{b}(0)@{ub}? 0 @{b}Pattern:@{ub} ~(*.readme) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- And ZoolDIZ does the rest! -------------------------- TO BE CONTINUED SOMETIME... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (*) Modules that have been extracted from any archive, will also be handled like this!
