                        ZIPDISK and UZIPDISK v2.0!

Have you ever wanted to ZIP up an entire floppy disk into a single zip
file and couldn't remember all the zip commands/switches to get the job
done? Well have NO fear, P-Boy Software has come up with two (2) great
little utilities that solve that problem! And those utilities are ZIPDISK
and UZIPDISK version 2.0!

These PKZIP(tm) and PKUNZIP(tm) "add on" utilities take all the worry out
of zipping (and unzipping) an entire floppy disk for you! These two (2)
great utilities will even remember the command switches to add any HIDDEN,
SYSTEM, READ ONLY files that are located on the floppy into your zip file,
along with any subdirectories on that disk! No more "racking" your over
worked brain trying to remember all those switch commands! Unzipping that
file to a floppy with all it's data intact is just as easy. A complete
floppy restore with all it's HIDDEN, SYSTEM, and READ ONLY files, along
with all the stored subdirectories, can be easily done. So read on and
relax! But first lets get the legal mumbo jumbo out of the way, ok?

Now that we have that out of the way, lets go on to describe the utilities
functions and syntax.

ZIPDISK :
(function) To make maximum compression zip disk images for transmission
and automatic directory recursion with volume label storage!  File name
extensions not used! For example use FILENAME and *not* FILENAME.ZIP!

(syntax):
ZIPDISK (zip-to) x:\path\filename (from-drive) x
DUMMY EXAMPLE: zipdisk c:\directory\filename b <-- all files on drive B:
               zipdisk d:\directory\filename a <-- all files on drive A:
               zipdisk c:\downloads\pboyware a <-- easy huh??

UZIPDISK :
(function) to restore a zipped disk with all directories and volume label
intact! File name extensions not used! For example use FILENAME and *not*
FILENAME.ZIP!

(syntax) :
UZIPDISK (from) x:\path\filename (to-drive) x
DUMMY EXAMPLE: uzipdisk c:\directory\filename b --> all files to drive B:
               uzipdisk d:\directory\filename a --> all files to drive A:
               uzipdisk c:\downloads\pboyware a --> now you got it!!!!



All you need is PKZIP(tm) and PKUNZIP(tm) version 2.04g archive utilities
*and* ZIPDISK, UZIPDISK in a subdirectory that is located in your DOS path
statement. If you are not sure of your PATH statement, please refer to
your DOS manual. You can check to see which directories are in your PATH
by typing SET at the DOS prompt and pressing <ENTER>. This will show you
just what is in your PATH.

EXAMPLE: "PATH=C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;D:\;D:\UTIL;"

So you may want to copy ZIPDISK and UZIPDISK over onto your hard drive C:,
into the DOS directory or over onto your hard drive D:, into the UTIL
directory etc. Remember that ZIPDISK and UZIPDISK is reliant on another
Shareware utility called PKZIP(tm) and PKUNZIP(tm)! If you do not already
have these utilities, look on one of your local bulletin boards for a file
called PKZ204G.EXE, which will contain the additional archive utilities
you will need.

What we COULD have done, what we DID, and what we will DO:

We COULD have put a "beg" screen or "time delay" on this program, but we
DIDN'T! We download shareware programs every day, and find those type of
things annoying ourselves! You WILL find a "reminder" that the version you
are using is "unregistered" and that's it. You'll also not run into any
time delays. This program works as fast as your computer! We DID test this
program. The product has been tested on several '386DX computers, and even
a '486DX2-66! So far, no "bug reports" (very happy 'bout that!). Upon
receipt of your registration, you will receive a new version without the
"unregistered" comment, and of course IF finished, the next version.

We greatly appreciate your commants, and we plan to listen to what you
tell us! As all software goes, there will be updates, improvements etc.
Being a registered user means you will be notified of upgrades, or any
other new products that we can make available to our clients at a great
savings! If demand persists, there may even be ARJ, PAK, etc versions of
ZIPDISK for those of you that use, other type of archive utilities. So
please fill out the order/registration form and mail it with your check or
money order.
