ZIP MENU - ZIP ALL
-------------------

NOTE: ZIP ALL is effected by  "1 Enable Advanced Options", which is     
part of "SETUP" form the FILE MENU. If advanced options is set to
"OFF" you may ignore references to DOS WILDCARDS. Please read the
section "SETUP" from FILE MENU HELP.

       
       The ZIP ALL selection makes a ZIP file with your choice of
name in the drive & directory of your choice contaning all or specific 
files from a selected directory. Also, the ZIP ALL selection allows the use 
of DOS wild cards. Selecting ZIP ALL from the ZIP MENU will display another 
menu box that asks "*.*" or "Select". Use the "*.*" selection for a quick 
ZIP of all files for a given directory. If you want to "ZIP Only 
Selected Files" for a given directory, use the "Select" option.
The "Select" option can make use of the "?" and "*" widcards. Example: Using
the "Select" option, entering "*.hlp" will make a ZIP file contaning all 
files from the selected directory with the last three leters "hlp". This 
option works just like the "DOS DIR" command. For more information on 
wildcards, refer to your DOS manual. After deciding which option to use
(that is -- "*.*" or "Select"), a red dialogue box appears asking to enter 
the name of the file to create. In this box, you may enter any name you 
feel is appropriate. NOTE: If you do not supply the file extension, .ZIP 
is automatically assumed. Example: If the name ANY is entered -- the file 
created will be ANY.ZIP. Selecting where to make the ZIP file is 
accomplished via the DIRECTORY PAGE (see basic operation in AUTOZIP 
INTRO help). After entering the name of the the ZIP file to make, you 
must select where to create the file. 
       
       Selecting the drive & directory to Zip is done via a FILE PAGE 
(see basic operation from AUTOZIP INTRO help). NOTE: "The service of this 
particular FILE PAGE is exactly the same as a DIRECTORY PAGE", meaning the 
direcnced options: "1 Enable advanced options" allows 
the use of DOS wildcards. When this option is set to "ON", submenus 
will be displayed after various selections within AUTOZIP. NOTE:
When "1 Enable advanced options" is set to "OFF", these various selections 
will work as if no wildcard option ever existed. In turn, using "*.*" as the
default wildcard. Some selections in fact cannot be used until this option 
is enabled. To change the default setting of "OFF" to "ON", use the 
UP-DOWN arrow keys to move to line "1 Enable advanced options". A red 
dialogue box will be displayed. Use the "TAB" key to swtich from "OFF" 
to "ON". At this point you may press the "ESC" key to exit and save 
the configuration. You may also continue to edit the setup configuration
by using the UP-DOWN arrow keys.
       
       
       2 Set Swapping: "2 Set Swapping" tells AUTOZIP how to use disk 
or memory when shelling or swapping. If you have XMS memory or EMS
memory and you want AUTOZIP to use it, use the UP-DOWN arrow keys
to move to line 2. A blue  dialogue box will appear.
Press the tab key until the desired selection is displayed.
At this point, you may press the ESC key to save the 
configuration or press the UP-DOWN arrow keys to continue 
editing the CONFIG information. 

       
       3 Path for COMM. software: "3 Path for COMM. software" is the 
full DOS path to your communication software. This input field tells 
AUTOZIP where to find the executable that starts your communication
software. NOTE: DO NOT APPEND A BACKSLASH CHARACTER "\" to the
end of the full path. A correct example is C:\AUTOZIP\WORK
while an incorrect example is C:\AUTOZIP\WORK\.

       
       4 Full path and name for COMM. software must include
extension: "4 Full path and name for COMM. software must include extension" 
tells AUTOZIP which executable starts your COMM. software. This input 
field should be the same as input field "3 Path for COMM." except
the executable file name that starts your communication software should 
be added to the end. As in the example given in the paragraph above 
("3 Path for COMM. software") C:\AUTOZIP\WORK is the path to your COMM. 
software -- input field 4 should look similar to this: 
C:\AUTOZIP\WORK\ANY.EXE. Input field number four will vary from computer 
to computer and with the different types of communication software 
available. Also note that you cannot run a WINDOWS COMM. program with 
AUTOZIP. For example, you cannot use c:\windows\terminal.exe. 
Input field number 4 should also include the file extension such as 
ANY.EXE or ANY.COM (".EXE" or ".COM" is the extension).
NOTE: If a batch file is used to start your COMM. software, you
need to use a utility to convert batch files to COM files.
A good program to use is the shareware version BAT2COM.ZIP found 
on many
