                      ***** ZTEC70B UPDATE INFORMATION *****

        The Zip Terminmus 7.0B supports most PKZIP v1.1 and 2.04x options.
        Note that certain options like multi-volume spanned archives, etc.
        are not available with v1.1 .

        1. Added heads-up option display for VIRUSCAN(tm) in submenu #5,
           "VIRUS SCAN FILES" . Added VIEW ACTIVITY/LOG selection.
           Virus scan options used during compress and extract operations
           are still set from the default table.

        2. Added switch support for VIRUSCAN(tm) /history --> activity/log
           function. User is given opportunity to activate log option from
           the default table which is brought up by pressing F5-PROGRAM
           SETUP. Added to the default table is an entry which allows the
           user to specify the directory location and filename.

           The Zip Terminus takes advantage of VIRUSCAN's ability to recurse
           through the directory tree. The /SUB option is fed to VIRUSCAN
           whenever a recursive compress or extract with restoration of
           directory structure is being performed and the F8-VIRUS SCAN
           switch is in the ON position.

        3. -ex option combination is now the default when running the
           ZIP TERMINUS v7.0B for the first time or when a configuration
           file is not found. This combination is both PKZIP v1.1 and
           v2.04g friendly. It translates to use maximum compression -
           create smallest ZIP file possible. The User may change this
           to most valid flat archive options supported by PKZIP. Press
           F5-SETUP at a menu or submenu and edit the default table.

        4. Added popup help to guide user when editing compression
           or extraction option entries. Added to each submenu the
           ability to bring up PKZIP(tm) help display.

        5. Revised the format of this documentation file to allow printing
           with proper paging, etc. on most types of printers.

        6. Added switch selections for  recursive compress with optional path
           structure inclusion. Added selection/support for extraction
           with optional restore/create path\directory structure. ZTEC 7.0B
           also allows extraction from Zips containing path\dir. structure
           information with the user option of specific or wildcard designated
           path\filename(s) without path\dir restoration.

        7. Increased logical drive support from A..I  to  A..Z

        8. The Zip Terminus v7.0B was re-designed to yield maximum memory free
           during the execution of memory intensive operations. Press Ctrl-F
           at the main menu to find out how much free conventional RAM is
           available. VIRUSCAN currently needs 320Kb and PKZIP(tm) 206kb
           (v2.04g) on an unexpanded machine.

        9. This version of the ZIP Terminus was updated for VIRUSCAN(tm)
           version 9.14v102.

       10. Floppy operation now limits program function selection to virus
           scan only. Compress, extract, make exe and other operations
           are not allowed if floppy installation work disk is detected.

       11. This version of The Zip Terminus has menu selections for creation
           or restoration of recursive or non-recursive multi-volume ZIPs.
           Format, DOS verify, and other options are submenu select available.
           File extraction without path restoration and with the optional
           use of wildcard specification is available.

       12. Added advanced user mode switching. Read the section entitled
           "ADVANCED USER MODE" found in this document.

       13. Added the ability to run PKCFG.EXE from the default table. This
           gives the user option to modify the pkzip.cfg configuration file
           while running The Zip Terminus. PKCFG.EXE must be located in the
           same directory as PKZIP, PKUNZIP, etc. The current directory at
           the time of execution is the location of PKZIP. Read your manual.

       14. The Zip Terminus attempts to detect earlier verisons of PKZIP.
           Zip Terminus menu options such as CREATE M-V ZIPs and RESTORE
           M-V Zips are not available under PKZIP v1.1 .

       15. Zip Terminus v7.0B  supports the use of DOS verify option during
           multi-volume archive creation. This option is switch selected. Use
           of PKZIP v2.04e or v2.04g is required.

       16. Added trouble/error message section to the main documentation file.

       17. Compress operations are suspended and request for continuation
           confirmation is made when the -m MOVE option is detected in
           the Zip Terminus default table entry for compress options.
           Read your PKZIP manual for more information on the -m move.

        18. The following is a list of changes: ZTEC70B vs. ZTEC70A

            -m move option confirmation added; relaxed checking during
            wildcard extraction of recursive and MV Zips(allow -d and
            -x options to be accepted); added logical drive #B denial on
            single floppy machines when user selects CTRL + Drive Letter
            for others; added MV compress submenu selection for NO recurse
            and NO path structure inclusion to allow compress of single
            directory; whatsnew file renamed to readme70.txt; added file
            selection display...sort by name. Previously used natural order;
            added start-up option /v which sets F8-VIRUS SCAN FILES to the ON
            position when first starting The Zip Terminus - default is
            OFF. However, and as in version #70A, once turned on will stay
            on until toggled off; configuration table modified - read
            below.

        19. ZTEC configuration table operation changed. Table entry #1 is
            no longer modifiable - it is set at program start-up. The table
            will be fully initialized when entry #1 does not agree with the
            start-up location of zt70b.exe or no configuration table found.
            Certain table entries are initialized to UNDEFINED!. Some programs
            used in conjunction with ZTEC may have already been installed or
            use an installation program which presets a certain directory
            location. User MUST CHANGE all UNDEFINED! table entries. Failure
            to do so may result in access to certain program functions being
            denied. Floppy installations, which allow only virus scan,
            initialize in a different manner. Follow the installation guide
            outlined in ZT70BDOC.TXT
