Help on: #Archive-Lister# #Input-Fields# #Info# #AVIEW.CTL# #Help# #Credits# #File-Selector# #Parameters# [Archive-Lister] Archive-Lister Help 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With the archive-lister you can view the contents of an ARC, ARJ, HYP, LZH, PAK, RAR, SQZ, UC2, ZIP or ZOO archive (also there SFX variants), the archive-lister also can view archives in archives (up to 16 deep). The archive-viewer can be used to view files, edit files, or manipulate archives. #Archive-Lister Keys# [Archive-Lister Keys] Archive-Lister Keys 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� F1 - Help CTRL-F1 - Ascend/Descend sorting F2 - Extract CTRL-F2 - Extract to current path F3 or ENTER - View file CTRL-F3 - Sort on name F4 - Edit file CTRL-F4 - Sort on extension F5 - Convert CTRL-F5 - Sort on original size F6 or ALT-S - Sort list CTRL-F6 - Sort on compressed size F7 - Add file(s) CTRL-F7 - Sort on ratio F8 or DEL - Delete file(s) CTRL-F8 - Sort on date/time F9 or ALT-J - DOS-Shell CTRL-F9 - Sort on method F10 or ESC - Quit CTRL-F10 - No sort (Unsorted) Alpha-Numeric keys can be used for speed-search. #Archive-Lister Keys Page 2# [Archive-Lister Keys Page 2] Archive-Lister Keys Page 2 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 ALT-L - Change screen-layout SHIFT-F2 - Extract to any path SHIFT-F7 - Create file UP/DOWN - Go up/down one entry SHIFT-F9 - Print file HOME/END - Go to begin/end of list ALT-F2 - Extract without paths INS/SPACE - Tag/Untag files ALT-F3 - Select viewer and view Gray +/- - Wildcard Tag/Untag ALT-F4 - Select editor and edit Gray * - Invert selections ALT-F9 - EGA/VGA Lines ALT-X - Exit AVIEW immidiate [AVIEW.CTL] AVIEW.CTL 컴컴컴컴� AVIEW.CTL is an plain ascii-file that can be edited to fully configure all the functions of AVIEW, the following commands are availble: #Archiver-Commands# #NOMOUSE# #SWAPMODE# #ALTERNATELAYOUT# #NOPATHS# #SWAPPATH# #DATEFORMAT# #NOXMS# #TEMPPATH# #EDITOR# #SCANNER# #TEMPREMOVE# #EXTRACTPATH# #SCANPROMPT# #VIEWER# #FSSORT# #SCREENMODE# #WAIT# #NOCOLOR# #SHOWSPECIAL# #ZOOMSPEED# #NOEMS# #SORT# [Archiver-Commands] Archiver-Commands 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With the following commands you can define the parameters that must be used for the external archiver-utilities, the 'xxx' in the commands must be replaced by ARC, ARJ, HYP, LHA, PAK, RAR, SQZ, ZIP, UC2 or ZOO. There are two variables, %A and %F, thes two must ALWAYS exist in one of the commands (except xxxRESPONSE and xxxTEST), %A will be replaced by AVIEW with the name of the archive processed, and %F with a filename for adding, deleting and updating, note that AVIEW will automatically add the response-file-char before the filename when needed. The variables %A and %F are NOT optional! #xxxADD# #NOxxx# #xxxRESPONSE# #xxxDELETE# #xxxUNPACK# #xxxSFX# #xxxEXTRACT# #xxxUPDATE# #xxxTEST# [NOPATHS] NOPATHS 컴컴컴� With this command you instruct AVIEW to NOT extract any paths from archives when the extract function is used. [SWAPMODE] SWAPMODE 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this command you tell AVIEW how to swap before an external utility is executed, there are 5 modes: 0 - Swap to EMS/Disk. 1 - Swap to EMS/XMS/Disk (Default). 2 - Swap to XMS/Disk. 3 - Swap to XMS/EMS/Disk. 4 - Swap to Disk. [SWAPPATH] SWAPPATH 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this command you define the directory where AVIEW must write his swap-files when used, use a ramdisk to speed-up AVIEW. #EXTRACTPATH# #TEMPPATH# [WAIT] WAIT 컴컴 With this command you force AVIEW to wait for a keypress after each external utility executed. [ALTERNATELAYOUT] ALTERNATELAYOUT 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this command you can select the alternate screen-layout of the archive-lister as default (With full-path), this option works like a toggle in AVIEW by pressing ALT-L. [DATEFORMAT] DATEFORMAT 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this statement you can define how the file-date is shown, include MM for month, DD for day and YY for year, the sepparation-chars can be freely defined, default is MM/DD/YY [NOCOLOR] NOCOLOR 컴컴컴� With this statement you force AVIEW in black and white mode, this can be handy for laptop-users who have a LCD-Screen. [NOEMS] NOEMS 컴컴� With this statement you force AVIEW to NOT use any EMS memory. [NOXMS] NOXMS 컴컴� With this statement you force AVIEW to NOT use any XMS memory.

[VIEWER] VIEWER [] 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 With this command you can define up to 32 viewers, with you specify the file-extension which must trigger the viewer, the may include wildcards. Default viewer when non-defined is WPVIEW for all type of files. The variable %F can be used to pass the file-name selected in AVIEW to the viewer. #EDITOR# [EDITOR] EDITOR [] 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 With this command you can define up to 32 editors, with you specify the file-extension which must trigger the editor, the may include wildcards. Default editor when non-defined is NCEDIT for all type of files. The variable %F can be used to pass the file-name selected in AVIEW to the editor. #VIEWER# [EXTRACTPATH] EXTRACTPATH 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 With this command you define the path where files must be extracted to, when this command is NOT used, AVIEW will prompt you for a path. #SWAPPATH# #TEMPPATH# [SCREENMODE] SCREENMODE 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 With this statement you can define how many lines per screen AVIEW must use, valid number of lines are 25, 35, 40, 43 and 50, note that a number greater than 25 needs a EGA of VGA display-adapter. [SORT] SORT [Ascending|Descending] 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this statement you can define how AVIEW must sort the archive-list as default, valid sort-keys are: NAME, EXTENSION, ORGSIZE, CMPSIZE, DATETIME, METHOD and UNSORTED, optional you can specify with ASCENDING or DESCENDING the default sort direction, default is ASCENDING. [FSSORT] FSSORT [Ascending|Descending] 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this statement you can define how AVIEW must sort the file-selector list as default, valid sort-keys are: NAME, EXTENSION, SIZE, DATETIME and UNSORTED, optional you can specify with ASCENDING or DESCENDING the default sort direction, default is ASCENDING. [TEMPPATH] TEMPPATH 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� With this command you define the path AVIEW must use as work-directory, this can be a ram-drive which will speed-up AVIEW dramatically, when the directory does not exist, it will be created. #EXTRACTPATH# #SWAPPATH# #TEMPREMOVE# [TEMPREMOVE] TEMPREMOVE 컴컴컴컴컴 With this command you tell AVIEW to remove the complete TEMPPATH when AVIEW is finished. NOTE: All directories/files in the TEMPPATH will be deleted. As default, AVIEW only deletes tempry files. #TEMPPATH# [SHOWSPECIAL] SHOWSPECIAL 컴컴컴컴컴� With this command you force AVIEW to use special 'hidden' files as normal files, special 'hidden' files are for example the files beginning with U$~ in an UC2 archive. As default, AVIEW ignores special 'hidden' files. [SCANNER] SCANNER [] 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 With this command you define the virus-scanner to use after files are unpacked with the unpack function, when no scanner is defined, no virus-scan will be performed.
