PKZFIND and PKZOOM are quick and easy file-search tools. If you like
working from the DOS command line, PKZFIND is for you. If you prefer
pull-down menus that provide additional features, we recommend PKZOOM.
You can also run PKZOOM from the command line.


OPERATING SYSTEM AND MEMORY REQUIREMENTS

PKZFIND/PKZOOM runs on any computer that uses DOS Version 2.1 or greater,
and requires 128K of free, conventional memory.


HOW PKZFIND AND PKZOOM DIFFER

The main difference between PKZFIND and PKZOOM is that PKZOOM saves the files
that it finds in a list, and allows you to perform tasks on the files that
are found in the .ZIP files - directly from the PKZOOM Menu. For example,
you can extract files, print files, view files, and delete files. (You can
only delete files that are in a .ZIP file.) The only way you can perform
tasks on the files that are found by PKZFIND is by using PKUNZIP and
various DOS commands (for example, print, del, and edit). You cannot do
it with PKZFIND. Another difference is that you can save some of the setup
options in PKZOOM as defaults. For example, if you are always going to
search inside ZIP files, you don't have to specify that option every time
you use PKZOOM. With PKZFIND, you have to type the setup options every time.

USING PKZFIND


PKZFIND can search for any file on your hard disk, including files that 
are in a .ZIP file (files compressed by PKZIP). You can tell PKZFIND to 
just search for a file, or search for a file "and" automatically move to the 
directory in which that file exists.

With PKZFIND, you can search for:

    *     A single file.

    *     Multiple files.

    *     Files that are contained in a .ZIP file.

    *     Files that are contained in a self-extracting .ZIP
          file (.EXE files).

    *     Directory names.

You can also access multiple drives.

Even if you don't know the exact name of a file, you can specify a partial 
filename and PKZFIND will find all files that match that file pattern. 
Whatever your file-finding needs, you can customize PKZFIND to fit 
those needs. 

Note:     PKZFIND looks at files in "share" mode, meaning that it is
          compatible with network software and LANs. 



USING PKZFIND WITH DOS

PKZFIND is command-line driven, which means that you type all of your 
commands at an operating system command prompt. PKZFIND uses the 
DOS operating system. For example, if your computer is currently on the 
C drive, you would type your PKZFIND commands at the following 
prompt:

     C:\>

Because it uses the DOS command line, PKZFIND takes advantage of 
several DOS features. For example, you can tell PKZFIND to search in a 
specific directory or on a specific drive. You can also use such features as 
DOS wildcards (* or ?) to help PKZFIND further define your search.

Although this is not a DOS manual, it does contain basic DOS 
information, as it pertains to using PKZFIND. If you've never used DOS, 
refer to your DOS documentation. The Sample Search Commands section 
at the end of this section contains several examples of file searches. 
Hopefully, these examples will closely fit your own file searching needs.

Remember! If you prefer to work with pull-down menus, you can always 
use PKZOOM. You are not limited to one method. Refer to 
USING PKZOOM for more information.



THE pkzfind COMMAND

The command you use to search for files is pkzfind. No matter what DOS 
conventions you use, pkzfind is always the first thing you type at the DOS 
prompt.



UNDERSTANDING PKZFIND

When PKZFIND finds an occurrence of the file that you request, it 
displays information about that file. It also allows you to continue the 
search for other occurrences, or end the search. This is handy when you 
specify a partial match, for example, if you want to search for all files
that begin with the letter "B." Because there might be more files that begin 
with the letter B than can fit on one screen, displaying one file at a time 
prevents you from missing some of the files that PKZFIND finds.

You can customize PKZFIND to display all files at once. Refer to 
ENHANCING YOUR SEARCH WITH PKZFIND OPTIONS for more information.


WHERE CAN PKZFIND SEARCH?

PKZFIND can search wherever you tell it to. You can search a specific 
drive on your computer, or in a specific directory. If you do not specify a 
drive or directory, PKZFIND automatically searches on the current drive 
that you're working on, and begins from the root directory. So even if you 
are a couple of directories deep on your drive, for example, \jobs\full\, 
PKZFIND searches "backwards" to the "\" directory.

Note:     The "root" directory is the highest directory level on a
          drive, often denoted as \ . For example, if you're on the
          C drive, it would be C:\.

With PKZFIND, you can also search on more than one drive at the same 
time.

Refer to the SEARCHING ON A DIFFERENT DRIVE and SEARCHING IN A SPECIFIC 
DIRECTORY sections under GETTING STARTED for more information.


CANCELLING A SEARCH

You can cancel your search at any time. To do so, hold down the Ctrl key 
and type c. The search stops and the DOS prompt appears.


USING HELP

Help for PKZFIND is always available. At the DOS prompt, type
pkzfind -h and press ENTER. You can also just type pkzfind.

Sometimes, when you type the pkzfind command incorrectly, help 
automatically appears on your screen.




GETTING STARTED

This section contains all the information you need to perform a simple 
search using PKZFIND. It also shows you what happens when PKZFIND 
finds a file and what happens when PKZFIND doesn't find a file.

In this section, you will learn to:

    *     Search for a single file.

    *     Search for multiple files.


SEARCHING FOR A SINGLE FILE

To search for a file:

1.   Start your computer. Make sure your screen is at a DOS prompt (for 
     example, C:\). If you are running Windows, start a DOS window.

2.   At the DOS prompt, type pkzfind, a space, and the name of the file 
     you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for a file 
     named resume.doc, you would type the following and press ENTER:

          pkzfind  resume.doc



If PKZFIND finds the file, the following happens:


     Version and copyright information appear, then 
     the following prompt:

          /JOB/RESUME.DOC 4534 09-2-94 0:45:48 More (ynj)?

     The more (ynj)? prompt allows you to continue or 
     stop your search. For information on how to 
     respond to this prompt, go to step 3.


     PKZFIND displays the following information
     when it finds a file:

          *    PKZFIND copyright information.

          *    The directory in which the file is located.

          *    The name of the file.

          *    The size of the file in bytes.

          *    The date and time the file was last 
               modified.

If PKZFIND doesn't find a file, the following happens:

     The following message appears:

          No files found

     Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appear.

     The DOS prompt appears.


3. To search for the next matching file, type y.

    PKZFIND continues to search. If another match is found, the
    information pertaining to that file is displayed and 
    the following prompt appears:

          more (ynj)? 

     If PKZFIND does not find another 
     match, the following appears, followed 
     by the DOS prompt:

          (x) files found.

     where x is the number of files found.


To stop searching, type n. 

     PKZFIND stops searching and the DOS 
     prompt appears.

To jump to the directory in which the file appears 
and stop searching

Type j

     PKZFIND jumps to the directory in 
     which the file appears and stops 
     searching. The DOS prompt appears.



SEARCHING FOR MULTIPLE FILES

PKZFIND allows you to search for multiple files at one time. You can use 
one of the following methods:

     *    Typing more than one filename.

     *    Using DOS wildcards to specify a partial file pattern.


TYPING MORE THAN ONE FILENAME

To type more than one filename, put a space between each filename in 
your pkzfind command. For example, if you want to search for a file 
named RESUME.DOC and a file named letter.doc, you would type the 
following and press ENTER:

     pkzfind  resume.doc  letter.doc



SPECIFYING A FILE PATTERN USING DOS WILDCARDS

Sometimes when you're searching for a file, you're not sure of the entire 
name of the file, but know at least a partial name or the file extension (for 
example, .DOC). In this case, you can use the DOS wildcard symbol, the 
asterisk (*). For example, you might want to search for all files that 
contain the .DOC extension. To search for those files, you would type the 
following and press ENTER:

     pkzfind  *.DOC

This tells PKZFIND to search for all files on the current drive that end in 
.DOC. The asterisk indicates that the name of the file can be anything, as 
long as it ends in .DOC.

For more information on DOS wildcards, refer to your DOS 
documentation.



TELLING PKZFIND WHERE TO SEARCH

Now that you've learned to do a basic file search with PKZFIND, the next 
step is to learn how to tell PKZFIND to search in a particular location, for 
example, a specific directory or drive.

In this section, you will learn to:

     *    Search on a different drive.

     *    Search on multiple drives.

     *    Search in a specific directory.



SEARCHING ON A DIFFERENT DRIVE

PKZFIND allows you to search on a drive other than the drive you are on. 
To search on a different drive, type the name of the drive after the 
filename. For example, if you want to search for the file named 
RESUME.DOC on the D: drive while you are on the C: drive, you would 
type the following and press ENTER:

     pkzfind  resume.doc  d:

If you type only the drive letter with a backslash (\) and not a directory, 
PKZFIND starts the search in the root directory, which is \.

For more information on DOS drives, refer to your DOS documentation.



SEARCHING ON MULTIPLE DRIVES

With PKZFIND, you can search on multiple drives at the same time. For 
example, if you know that the file named RESUME.DOC is either on the 
C drive or D drive, you could type the following and press ENTER:

     pkzfind  resume.doc  c:  d:

If the file resides on both drives, PKZFIND will find and display both 
occurrences of that file.



SEARCHING IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTORY

If you don't specify a directory in which to search, PKZFIND 
automatically starts to search from the root directory on your current drive 
(for example, C:\) and searches through every directory under that root 
directory. However, with PKZFIND, you can search in any directory that 
you want.

For example, if you know that the file named RESUME.DOC is 
somewhere under a directory named jobs and you want PKZFIND to only 
search under that directory, you could type the following and press 
ENTER:

     pkzfind  resume.doc  \JOBS

If the file you're searching for is on a different drive, for example, D:,
you would type something similar to the following:

     pkzfind  resume.doc  d:\JOBS

     Note:     Don't forget to put the backslash (\) before the name of the
               directory. When you specify directories using PKZFIND, follow
               the rules of DOS. For more information on DOS directories,
               refer to your DOS documentation.
      


ENHANCING YOUR SEARCH WITH PKZFIND OPTIONS

PKZFIND contains several options that help you enhance your file 
search. For example, you can tell PKZFIND to jump to the location at 
which it finds a file, or you can indicate that you only want PKZFIND to 
search inside .ZIP files. Each option is represented by a single letter that 
you include in the pkzfind command. You can also combine most of these 
options in a single command. (For a list of commands you cannot use 
together, refer to Options You Cannot Use Together.)

The information that PKZFIND displays when it finds a file differs from 
option to option. For example, if you use the -b option (display only the 
filename), PKZFIND only displays the name of the file, not the size, date 
or time. If you use the -z option (search only in .ZIP files), PKZFIND
displays the name of the .ZIP file "and" the file that you're searching for 
that is contained in that .ZIP file. 

The following is a list of PKZFIND options:


     -b   Display only the filename


     -c   List all matching files without stopping, 
          and skip the more (ynj)? prompt

          Normally, PKZFIND searches one file 
          at a time and gives you the opportunity 
          to continue the search or stop the search.

     -d   List directories that have the same name 
          as the file(s) that you specified


     -j   Jump to the drive and directory in which 
          PKZFIND finds a file


     -z   Search only in .ZIP files (for files that 
          were compressed by PKZIP)


     -e   Search also in self-extracting .ZIP files 
          (.EXE files)


     -n   Search only for files that are "not" 
          contained in a .ZIP file


You can also search for a file based on "size." You can specify bytes, 
kilobytes, or megabytes, depending on your needs. You can also specify a 
range of sizes. For example, you can search for all files that are larger 
than 100 bytes but smaller than 200 bytes.


     *    To search for files that are equal to or "larger" than xxx bytes
          type a forward slash (/) "or" minus sign (-), a plus sign (+),
          and the number of bytes (for example, pkzfind  /+555). 

          PKZFIND finds all files that are equal to or larger than the number 
          of bytes you type.


     *    To search for files that are equal to or "smaller" than xxx
          "bytes," type forward slash (/) "or" minus sign (-), a minus
          sign (-), and the number of bytes (for example, pkzfind  /-555). 

          PKZFIND finds all files that are equal to or smaller than the number 
          of bytes you type.


     *    To search for files that fall within a size range, in "bytes"
          (for example, equal to or "larger" than 9500 bytes but smaller 
          than or equal to 11,000 bytes), type a forward slash (/), a plus
          sign (+), the minimum number of bytes, a minus sign (-) and the
          maximum number of bytes (for example, pkzfind  /+9500-11000).

          Do not put a space between the two values. 

          Also, you can type the values in any order. For example,
          the maximum value first and the minimum value last
          (pkzfind  /-11000+9500). You must put the forward slash in front 
          of the "first" value you type.


     *    To search for files that are equal to or "larger" than xxx
          kilobytes, type forward slash (/) "or" minus sign (-), a plus
          sign (+), the number of kilobytes, and the letter k.

          Do not put a space between the number and the letter (for example, 
          pkzfind  /+100k).


     *    To search for files that fall within a size range, in "kilobytes"
          (for example, equal to or "larger" than 95 kilobytes but smaller 
          than or equal to 110 kilobytes), type a forward slash (/), a plus
          sign (+), the minimum number of kilobytes, the letter k, a minus
          sign (-), the maximum number of kilobytes, and the letter k (for 
          example, pkzfind /+95k-110k).

          Do not put a space between the two values. 

          Also, you can type the values in any order. For example, the
          maximum value first and the minimum value last
          (pkzfind  /-110k+95k). You must put the forward slash in front 
          of the "first" value you type.


     *    To search for files that are equal to or "larger" than xxx
          megabytes, type forward slash (/) "or" minus sign (-), a plus
          sign (+), the number of megabytes, and the letter m.

          Do not put a space between the 
          number and the letter (for example, pkzfind  /+10m).


     *    To search for files that fall within a size range, in "megabytes"
          (for example, equal to or "larger" than 2 megabytes but smaller
          than or equal to 3 megabytes), type a forward slash (/), a
          plus sign (+), the minimum number of megabytes, the letter m, a
          minus sign (-), the maximum number of megabytes, and the
          letter m (for example, pkzfind /+2m-3m).

          Do not put a space between the two values. 

          Also, you can type the values in any order. For example, the
          maximum value first and the minimum value last (pkzfind /-3m+2m).
          You must put the forward slash in front of the "first" value you
          type.


For more information on the options listed above, refer to the appropriate 
sections in this file. For information on how to use these options, refer 
to the INCLUDING AN OPTION IN THE pkzfind COMMAND and USING MORE THAN 
ONE OPTION SIMULTANEOUSLY sections that follow.



INCLUDING AN OPTION IN THE pkzfind COMMAND

You can put a PKZFIND option anywhere in the command line, but it 
must be separated from other elements in the command (for example, a 
filename) by spaces. The example below uses the -d option, which allows 
you to search for directories.

     pkzfind  -d  resume.doc

In this example, you also could have typed one of the following:

     pkzfind  resume.doc  -d

     pkzfind  resume.doc  /d

     pkzfind  /d  resume.doc



USING MORE THAN ONE OPTION SIMULTANEOUSLY

PKZFIND allows you to use more than one option in a single command. 
To combine options, type the options right next to each other in the 
pkzfind command, using one dash (-). Do not put a space between each 
option. For example, if you combined the -b (display only the name of the 
file) and -j (jump to a directory) options and are searching for the file 
RESUME.DOC, you would type the following and press ENTER:

     pkzfind  -jb  resume.doc

You can type the options in any order.


OPTIONS YOU CANNOT USE TOGETHER

Some commands cannot be used simultaneously because they are not 
compatible. For example, you cannot use the -z and -n (search only for 
files that are not contained in a .ZIP file) options nor the -n and -e
(search in self-extracting .ZIP files) options together.



DISPLAYING FILENAMES ONLY

Normally, when PKZFIND displays a file, it includes the name, size, date, 
and time for that file. When you use the -b option, PKZFIND only 
displays the name of the file. For example, if you type 
pkzfind  -b  resume.doc and PKZFIND finds the file named 
RESUME.DOC in the \work\jobs directory, your screen would look 
similar to the following:

     C:\> pkzfind  -d  resume.doc

      /WORK/JOBS/RESUME.DOC

     1 file found.

     C:\>


Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appears.



DISPLAYING ALL MATCHING FILES AT ONCE

Normally, PKZFIND displays one file at a time and prompts you if you 
want to search for more. When you use the -c option, PKZFIND displays 
all matching files at once and does not prompt you.

Note:     If you search for a file match and anticipate more than one
          screenful of matches, you might not want to use this option 
          because some files might flash on and off your screen before you 
          have a chance to see them.



DISPLAYING DIRECTORIES WITH THE SAME NAME AS A FILE         

When you use the -d option, PKZFIND displays directories that have the 
same name as the file(s) you specified. For example, if you have a file 
named jobs and a directory named jobs, PKZFIND would display both 
and look similar to the following:

     C:\>  pkzfind  -b  jobs

     /JOBS/                                                                              08-23-94    12:24:34
     
     /WORK/RESUME/JOBS             3792   10-12-94   10:02:28
          
     
     1 file found.
     
     1 directory found.

     C:\>

The first line contains the directory name.

Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appears.



JUMPING TO A DIRECTORY IN WHICH A FILE WAS FOUND

When you use the -j option, PKZFIND automatically jumps to the 
directory in which the file is located. For example, if you type 
pkzfind  -j  resume.doc and PKZFIND finds the file named 
RESUME.DOC in the \work\jobs directory, your screen would look 
similar to the following:

     C:\> pkzfind  -j  resume.doc
        
      /WORK/JOBS/RESUME.DOC          33792   10-12-94   10:02:28
     
          
     1 file found.
     
     C:\WORK\JOBS>


Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appears.

Notice that you are now in the directory in which PKZFIND found the file 
(in this example, \work\jobs).



SEARCHING FOR FILES CONTAINED IN .EXE FILES

When you use the -e option, PKZFIND also searches for files that are 
contained in a self-extracting .ZIP file (a self-extracting .ZIP file that
has a .EXE extension). When PKZFIND displays files that are contained in a 
self-extracting .ZIP file, those files appear indented under the name of the 
.EXE file. For example, if you have a file named RESUME.DOC that is 
contained in a self-extracting .EXE file named work.exe, your screen 
would look similar to the following:

     C:\> pkzfind  -e  resume.doc

     /WORK/*JOBS/WORK.EXE

     * RESUME.DOC                  3792          10-12-94        10:02:28

     1 file found.

     C:\>


Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appears.



SEARCHING ONLY FOR FILES CONTAINED IN A .ZIP FILE

When you use the -z option, PKZFIND searches only for files that are 
contained in a .ZIP file. To include self-extracting .ZIP files in your 
search, use the -e option also. In the following example, the file named 
RESUME.DOC is displayed only because it is contained in a .ZIP file:

     C:\> pkzfind  -z  resume.doc



     /WORK/JOBS/TEMP.ZIP
     
          * RESUME.DOC             3792   10-12-94   10:02:28
     
           
     1 file found.
    
         
     C:\>


Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appears.



SEARCHING ONLY FOR FILES NOT CONTAINED IN .ZIP FILES

When you use the -n option, PKZFIND does not look in .ZIP files. For 
example, if the file named RESUME.DOC appeared in the \work\jobs 
directory in its regular form and in compressed form in a .ZIP file, 
PKZFIND displays only the non-zipped version, as shown in the 
following:

     C:\> pkzfind  -n  resume.doc
         
     
     /WORK/JOBS/RESUME.DOC                33792   10-12-94   10:02:28
     
         
     1 file found.
     
     C:\>


Note:     PKZFIND version and copyright information also appears.



SAMPLE SEARCH COMMANDS

This section contains some sample PKZFIND search commands. The 
purpose of these samples is to show you some of the ways you can search 
for files, including the use of PKZFIND options. While browsing through 
these examples, you will notice that there is usually more than one way to 
type a command for the same search. All of these samples use an example 
file named RESUME.DOC.

Each sample contains the following:

     *    The search criteria used.

     *    The command(s) that you can type.

     *    A brief description of the sample.



Sample 1  -  Search on the current drive for a single file.

                    pkzfind  resume 

This is the simplest pkzfind command you can type.


Sample 2  -  Search on the current drive for any file that begins with
             any specific file pattern.

                    pkzfind  resume.*

             The DOS wildcard (*) indicates that the file can end in 
             any text, as long as it begins with "resume."


Sample 3  -  Search on the current drive for any file that ends with the 
             a specific extension.

                    pkzfind  *.doc

The DOS wildcard (*) indicates that the filename can be
anything, as long as the extension is .DOC.


Sample 4  -  Search for a file in a specific directory under the root 
             directory (\).

                    pkzfind  resume.doc  \work\jobs
               
                    pkzfind  resume.doc  work\jobs
               
                    pkzfind  \work\jobs  resume.doc

                    pkzfind  work\jobs  resume.doc

This sample assumes that you are typing from the root 
directory. Notice that you have the option of whether or 
not to begin the directory path with a backslash (\).


Sample 5  -  Search for a file in a sub-directory of the directory that is 
             immediately above the directory you are in.

                    pkzfind  resume.doc  ..\jobs

                    pkzfind  ..\jobs  resume.doc

The double periods (..) indicate that you want to search 
from the directory that appears above the directory that 
you are in.


Sample 6  -  Search for a file on the current drive and only display the 
             filename (not the size, date, and time).

                    pkzfind  resume.doc -b
                    
                    pkzfind  resume.doc /b
                    
                    pkzfind  -b  resume.doc
                    
                    pkzfind  /b  resume.doc

You can use either the dash (-) or forward slash (/) to 
precede a PKZFIND option.


Sample 7  -  Search on a different drive.

                    pkzfind  resume.doc d:

                    pkzfind  d:  resume.doc

You must always include a colon (:) when specifying a 
drive.


Sample 8  -  Search on a different drive and specifying a directory in 
             which to search.
              
                    pkzfind  d:\work\jobs  resume.doc
                    
                    pkzfind  resume.doc d:\work\jobs


Sample 9  -  Search on a different drive, include directories in your 
             search, and request a continuous listing of files.

                    pkzfind  d:  -cd  resume.doc
                    
                    pkzfind  resume.doc -cd  d:
                    
                    pkzfind  -cd  resume.doc d:
                    
                    pkzfind  -c  -d  resume.doc d:


Sample 10  -  Search for files that are larger than or equal to "xxx" 
              bytes but smaller than or equal to "xxx" bytes

                    pkzfind  /+9500-11000  resume.doc
                    
                    pkzfind  /-11000+9500  resume.doc




USING PKZOOM


PKZOOM contains a full-screen, menu-driven interface that streamlines
the file-finding process and allows you to perform tasks
on files that are in a .ZIP file. You can even unzip files. If you prefer
to work from a DOS command prompt, PKZOOM gives you that option.


USING PKZOOM WITH PKUNZIP

One of the advantages of using PKZOOM is that once you find the files 
you want, you can use PKUNZIP to restore "zipped" files to their normal 
size. This allows you to work on those files in their regular form.

Along with unzipping the files, you can perform the following tasks on 
files that are inside .ZIP files:

     *    Print text files.

     *    Delete files.

     *    Test the integrity of files.



HOW PKZOOM WORKS

Basically, you tell PKZOOM what you want to search for and where you 
want to search. Once you've defined your search, PKZOOM can start 
searching with a press of a key or the click of the mouse. PKZOOM does 
the rest!


WHAT CAN PKZOOM SEARCH FOR?

With PKZOOM, you can search for:

     *    A single file.

     *    Multiple files.

     *    Multiple files that have a similar filename pattern. You can
          search for up to five patterns.

     *    Files that are in a .ZIP file (files compressed by PKZIP).

     *    Files that are in a self-extracting .ZIP file (.EXE file).


WHERE CAN PKZOOM SEARCH?

PKZOOM can search wherever you tell it to. You can search a specific 
drive on your computer, or in a specific directory. If you do not specify a 
drive or directory, PKZOOM automatically searches on the current drive 
that you're working on, and begins from the root directory. So even if you 
are a few directories deep on your drive, for example, \jobs\full\, 
PKZOOM searches "backwards" to the \ directory.

Note:     The root directory is the highest directory level on a drive,
          often notated to as \ . For example, if you're on the C drive,
          it would be C:\.


USING HELP

Help for PKZOOM is always available. To get general information on 
using PKZOOM, select the Help option that appears on the Misc 
pull-down menu. Misc appears on the PKZOOM Main Menu.



SELECTING A PKZOOM METHOD

PKZOOM provides two methods to use PKZOOM:

     *    The PKZOOM Menu.

     *    The PKZOOM Command Line.

If you like to work with a full-screen, menu-driven interface, the 
PKZOOM Menu is for you. If you are more comfortable with working 
from a DOS prompt, you can use the PKZOOM Command-Line method.

With the Command-Line method, you can perform your entire search 
from the DOS command prompt and bypass the PKZOOM Menu, or you 
can start at the DOS command prompt, then switch to the PKZOOM 
Menu. If you choose to do everything from the DOS command prompt, 
you will not have access to some of the features that come with the 
PKZOOM Menu. Refer to the remaining sections in this file for more 
information.


To learn how to use this method:        Go to:

PKZOOM Command Line                     Using PKZOOM From a DOS Command Line



STARTING THE PKZOOM MENU

To start the PKZOOM Menu:

1.   Start your computer. Make sure your screen is at a DOS prompt (for 
     example, C\:) If you are running Windows, start a DOS window.

2.   At the DOS prompt, type pkzoom and press ENTER. The PKZOOM 
     Main Menu appears.



IDENTIFYING THE PARTS OF YOUR SCREEN

The top of the screen is called a menu bar. The menu bar contains options 
that you can select. When you select an option from the menu bar, a pull-
down appears. The Filespec pull-down menu automatically appears when 
you start PKZOOM.

Below the menu bar is the display area. This is where PKZOOM displays 
the files that it finds and any messages.



MOVING AROUND THE PKZOOM MENU

Before you get started, take some time to get familiar with moving around 
the PKZOOM Menu. You can use either your mouse or keyboard. 



To:                 With your keyboard:             With your Mouse

Move from one       Use your arrow keys             Click the left button

UNDERSTANDING PULL-DOWN MENUS

Some pull-down menus contain fields in which you type information, for 
example, in the Filespec pull-down, you type filenames or filename 
patterns to search. Other pull-down menus contain options to perform 
more tasks. For example, the Unzip pull-down contains options to unzip 
files and print files. The Drives pull-down contains a list of drives that 
you can include or not include in your search, and all you have to do is 
select one.

A brief description of each pull-down on the PKZOOM Main Menu 
appears below. Detailed information on what appears in a field or what an 
option in a pull-down is used for appears in the appropriate sections of 
this file. The descriptions below reference these sections.


GO MENU

Contains the option that you select to start your file search. Refer to 
Starting Your Search in this file for more information.


FILESPEC MENU

Contains fields that allow you to specify file names or patterns of file 
names to search for. Refer to Specifying What Files To Search for under 
Setting Up Your Search for more information.


TAG MENU

Allows you to "tag" files that PKZOOM found so that you can perform 
tasks on these files, for example, unzipping. Refer to Working With .ZIP 
Files That Were Found for more information.


DRIVES MENU

Allows you to select the drives on which you want PKZOOM to search. 
Refer to Selecting Drives on Which to Search for more information.


MISC MENU

Allows you to create a file that contains a list of files that you tagged
after your search. It also contains an on-line help option.


UNZIP MENU

Contains most of the tasks you would perform on .ZIP files and the files 
contained inside .ZIP files. For example, you can unzip a file, print a file, 
and delete a file that is inside a .ZIP file. Refer to Working With .ZIP
Files That Were Found for more information.


SETUP MENU

Contains several fields that allow you to customize your file search. For 
example, you can search for files that are inside .ZIP files only, or tell 
PKZOOM to display all files at once instead of one at a time (which is 
faster). Refer to Setting Up Your Search for more information.


EXIT MENU

Allows you to quit the PKZOOM Menu and go back to a DOS prompt. 
Refer to Quitting the PKZOOM Menu for more information.



UNDERSTANDING FIELDS

Some pull-down menus contain fields that store information. PKZOOM 
contains two types of fields:

     *    Fields that allow you to type information.

     *    Fields that act as "toggle switches" that contain more than one 
          value from which to select.

Both types of fields store information. However, how you specify that 
information differs. A description of each type appears below. 

     Note:     Information on specific fields appears in the appropriate
               sections in this file.



TYPING TEXT IN A FIELD

When you type text in a field, for example, a file name, PKZOOM is 
usually in edit mode immediately. This means that, as soon as the fields 
are displayed, you can begin to type. Also, if you type in a field that 
already contains information, you will automatically "type over" that 
information.


USING TOGGLE SWTICHES

Toggle switches are fields that, when you press the SPACE BAR or click 
the left button of your mouse, the value in the field changes. For example, 
if a field can be YES or NO and it currently contains a YES, it will change 
to NO when you press the SPACE BAR or click the mouse. You do not 
actually type information in this type of field. You select from a list of 
choices.

Toggle switches are also used to select or un-select items in a list. For 
example, when you specify a drive for PKZOOM to search on, a list of 
available drives appears. Next to each drive are square brackets. When 
you click the mouse or press the SPACE BAR, an "X" appears in the 
brackets indicating that you have selected that drive.

How you actually "toggle" a value depends on whether you use the 
keyboard or mouse.

      
To toggle:                    Do the following:

Using your keyboard           Press the SPACE BAR.
 
Using your mouse              Click the left button.



DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN MENU OPTIONS AND FIELDS

PKZOOM pull-downs contain both options and fields. Options represent 
tasks you can perform, for example, printing a file. Fields store 
information, such as the name of a file. Because they sometimes appear 
on the same pull-down, it isn't always easy to distinguish between the 
two.

One way you can distinguish between an option and a field is by 
understanding some conventions used in this manual. For example, this 
manual always instructs you to "select" an option and "type" or "set" a 
field. In general, even though distinguishing between an option and a field 
isn't always obvious just by looking at a pull-down, the context you are 
working in usually is obvious. When it isn't, further explanation is 
provided.

General information on selecting and moving around PKZOOM appears 
in the Moving Around PKZOOM and Understanding Fields sections of 
this file.


SETTING YOUR MONITOR FOR COLOR

If you have a color monitor, you have the option of working with 
PKZOOM in color or in black and white.

To specify how you want your monitor to appear:

1.   At the PKZOOM Menu, select setuP. The setuP pull-down appears.

2.   To set your monitor to:            Set the Monitor field to:

     Color                              Color

     Black and White                    B&W

3.   When you have finished, press ESC. Your monitor is set. After a few 
     moments, an OK message appears to the right of the Write setup 
     option.

     Note:     Your monitor doesn't change until you press ESC or switch to 
               a different option on the menu bar.
      
To save your monitor for color as the default, select the Write setup 
option in the setuP window. Whenever you start PKZOOM, your monitor 
will automatically appear in color.


SETTING UP YOUR SEARCH

The first step in using PKZOOM is to tell PKZOOM what files to search 
for. PKZOOM contains several ways to make your file search simple, yet 
versatile.

To set up PKZOOM to search for files, you:

     *    Specify what files to search for.

     *    Specify which drives to search on.

     *    Determine whether or not to search within .ZIP files.

     *    Determine how PKZOOM displays the files that it finds.



SPECIFYING WHAT FILES TO SEARCH FOR

Before you tell PKZOOM which files to search for, take some time to 
think about the files. Are you searching for one file? Do you know the 
exact name or just a partial name? With PKZOOM, you can specify an 
exact filename or use DOS wildcards to specify a file pattern. For 
example, to search for all files that end in .DOC, you would type *.DOC.

You can also search for files that are contained within .ZIP files. When 
you have finished specifying files, refer to Searching Inside .ZIP Files for 
more information.

To specify a file or file pattern:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Filespec. The Filespec 
     pull-down appears:

2.   Press ENTER or click your mouse to put you in edit mode.

3.   Type the files names or file patterns you want to search for. You can 
     include up to five files or file patterns per search. Each line 
     (1 through 5) represents a different file or pattern.

4.   When you have finished specifying your files or file patterns, press 
     ESC. The pull-down disappears.



SELECTING DRIVES ON WHICH TO SEARCH

PKZOOM allows you to specify which drives you want to search. You 
can also specify the type of drives you want to search on, for example, 
local versus network drives. If you do not specify a drive, PKZOOM 
searches on the default drive and searches only on that drive. The default 
drive is the drive you were on when you started PKZOOM.

To specify drives:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Drives. The Drives 
     pull-down appears:

2.   To search on the current drive only from the current directory down 
     (the drive you were on when you started PKZOOM), 1) Select [ ] Local
     search on default drive. An "X" appears in the square brackets.
     2)   Press ESC. The pull-down disappears.

     You are finished specifying drives. Do not continue with the steps
     in this section.


     To select the drives on which you want to search, 1) Select Select
     drives to search. A pull-down similar to one below this table appears.
     2) Go to step 3.


All of the drives on your computer are displayed. Drives that
are selected are marked with an "X." Drives that are not selected are 
marked with empty brackets ([ ]).

3.   To select individual drive(s) on which to search:

     1) Move to the drive(s) that you want to include in your search and
     select the drive. To select a drive using your keyboard, press the
     SPACE BAR or type the letter that is highlighted. To select a drive
     using your mouse, click the left button on the desired drive.
     Use the same methods to "un-select" a drive.

     2) When you have finished selecting drives, select OK. To select
     OK using your keyboard, press ENTER from anywhere in the pull-down.
     To select OK using your mouse, move the mouse to OK and click the
     left button. The drives are selected and the pull-down disappears.


     To select all local and network drives:

          1) Press the F1 key.

          2) Select OK. The pull-down disappears.


     To select all local hard drives

          1) Press the F2 key.

          2) Select OK. The hard disks are selected and the pull-down
             disappears.


     To select all network drives:

          1) Press the F3 key.

          2) Select OK. All network drives are 
             selected and the pull-down disappears.


     To un-select all drives and start over:

          1)   Press the F10 key.

          2)   Select OK. All drives are un-selected and the pull-down
               disappears.



SETTING DEFAULT DRIVES ON WHICH TO SEARCH

If you routinely search on specific drives, you can set up PKZOOM to 
automatically search on those drives. You do not have to specify them 
every time you start PKZOOM.

To set up drives:

1.   Select the drives you want to search on using the Select drives to 
     search option on the Drives Menu. Refer to SELECTING DRIVES ON 
     WHICH TO SEARCH for more information.

2.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select setuP. The setuP pull-down 
     menu appears.

3.   Move to the Load drives field.

4.   Using your mouse or SPACE BAR, set the Load drives field to YES.

     Note:     The Load drives field is a "toggle" field.

5.   Select the Write setup option. This saves the default for the Load 
     drives field to YES.

     PKZOOM will automatically search on the drives that you specified. To 
     turn off the defaults, set the Load drives field back to NO.



SEARCHING INSIDE .ZIP FILES

PKZOOM allows you to specify whether or not to search inside .ZIP files 
(files compressed by PKZIP). You can tell PKZOOM to search for one of 
the following:

     *    Only files inside of .ZIP files.

     *    All files, including files inside of .ZIP files.

     *    Only files that are not inside of .ZIP files.

To specify whether or not to search inside .ZIP files:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select setuP. The setuP pull-down 
     menu appears.

2.   Move to the Zip search field.

3.   Using your mouse or SPACE BAR:
      
     To search:                              Set the Zip search field to:

     Only for files that are inside          ONLY
     .ZIP files
     
     For files that are inside .ZIP files    YES 
     "and" outside .ZIP files

     Only for files that are not inside      NONE 
     .ZIP files



SEARCHING INSIDE .ZIP FILES WITH OTHER EXTENSIONS

Not all .ZIP files that you might have created using PKZIP necessarily 
have the .ZIP extension. You might have specified your own extension 
instead of .ZIP when you compressed the files, or you might have created 
self-extracting .ZIP files, which have an extension of .EXE. If you want 
PKZOOM to search for files contained in the .ZIP file, you must specify 
the extension.

To specify other extensions:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select setuP. The setuP pull-down 
     appears:

2.   Move your cursor to the ZIP Extensions field and press ENTER or 
     click your mouse. The ZIP Extensions pull-down appears.

3.   Type the extension that represents the files within which you want to 
     search. You can specify up to five different extensions. Each line 
     (1 through 5) represents a different extension you can type.

     Note:     When you type an extension, you do not have to type the 
               period. PKZOOM knows that this is an extension and puts 
               the period in for you.

4.   When you have finished typing your extensions, press ESC. Your 
     extensions are saved and the pull-down disappears.

To save these extensions as defaults, select the Write setup option in the 
setuP window. Whenever you start PKZOOM, these extensions will 
automatically appear in the pull-down in which you typed them.



DETERMINING HOW PKZOOM DISPLAYS FILES

PKZOOM can display one file at a time, or all at once after it finishes the 
search.

To determine how PKZOOM displays files:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select setuP. The setuP pull-down 
     appears:

2.   Move your cursor to the Display as found field.

3.   Using your mouse or SPACE BAR:

     To display:              Set the Display as found field to:

     One file at a time       YES

     All files at once        NO

4.   When you have finished, press ESC. The pull-down disappears.



SEARCHING SUB-DIRECTORIES WITH EXTENSIONS

Some sub-directories that you have created might contain an extension. 
With PKZOOM, you have the option of searching or not searching within 
those sub-directories. If you choose to search those directories, PKZOOM 
will take more time to search for files because it has to determine whether 
the entry is a file or directory. PKZOOM's default is to assume that sub-
directories have no extensions. Follow the steps below only if you want 
PKZOOM to search these directories.

To search within sub-directories that contain extensions, follow these 
steps:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select setuP. The setuP pull-down 
     appears:

2.   Move your cursor to the Subdir search field.

3.   Click your mouse or press the SPACE BAR. The field changes to the 
     following:

          *.*

     The *.* DOS wildcard indicates that PKZOOM will look at the name 
     "and" the extension.



STARTING YOUR SEARCH

To start your search:

1.   Make sure you've specified the files you want to search for. Refer to 
     the appropriate sections under Setting Up Your Search for more 
     information.

2.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Go. The Go pull-down 
     appears:

3.   Select F1 Start Search. PKZOOM begins to search.

     Note:     You can also press F1 from anywhere on your screen to start 
               the search.

As PKZOOM searches, the names of the drives and directory paths flash 
one at a time on the bottom of your screen, and looks similar to the 
following:

     Esc to abort - P:\JOBS\RESUMES.DOC

UNDERSTANDING WHAT PKZOOM DISPLAYS

For each file found, PKZOOM displays the following information:

     *    The name and location of the file, including the drive and 
          directory.

     *    The size of the file in bytes.

     *    The time that the file was last modified.

     *    The date that the file was last modified.

If you included files that are contained in a .ZIP file, those files are 
indented under the .ZIP file. This allows you to more easily recognize 
those files as "zipped" files.


CANCELLING YOUR SEARCH

You can cancel your search at any time by pressing the ESC key.


WORKING WITH FILES THAT WERE FOUND WITHIN .ZIP FILES

When PKZOOM finishes the search, you can perform the following tasks 
on the files that were found within .ZIP files:

     *    Extract files from a .ZIP file.

     *    Test the integrity of files within a .ZIP file.

     *    Print files that are inside a .ZIP file.

     *    Delete files.

Before you can perform any of these tasks, you have to select the files you 
want to work with. This is referred to as "tagging." Refer to Tagging Your 
Files.


TAGGING YOUR FILES

Tagging a file tells PKZOOM that you want to perform a task on that file. 
PKZOOM provides a variety of ways to tag files. You can tag:

     *    Individual files.
     
     *    All files at once.
     
     *    Files that have a specific name or pattern.
     
     *    Files that were created or modified today.
     
     *    Files that have been modified since the last backup.

You can also clear the tags for the same files.



ACCESSING THE TAG MENU

To tag files, you will use the Tag Menu on the PKZOOM Main Menu. To 
access the Tag Menu, select Tag from the PKZOOM Main Menu. The 
Tag pull-down appears.

The first two items on this menu (Tag all files and Clear all tags) and the 
last item (Flip tags) are options that perform specific tasks on all of the 
files that are tagged or untagged, depending on the option you select.

The middle four items on this pull-down allow you to more closely 
specify files to be tagged or un-tagged. The Mode: field (a toggle field) 
contains one of two tasks that can be performed, "tag files" and "clear 
tags." The Name, Only todays files, and Archive (changed files) options 
allow you to select which file(s) are to be tagged or untagged. For 
example, you can automatically tag or clear tags for all files that were 
created or modified today (using the Only todays files option). The 
Mode: field applies only to these three options.



TAGGING INDIVIDUAL FILES

To tag individual files, move your cursor to the file you want to tag and 
press ENTER or SPACE BAR, or click the left button on your mouse. A 
small right arrow appears to the left of each file you tag. 
                   
To clear the tag for an individual file, do the same thing you did to tag the 
file. When you clear a tag, the arrow disappears.


TAGGING ALL FILES

To tag all files at one time:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Select Tag all files. The files are tagged and the Tag pull-down 
     disappears.

     Note:     You can also clear all tags at one time. Refer to Clearing
               All Tags for more information.


TAGGING FILES BY NAME

To tag files by name:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Set the Mode: field to "tag files."

3.   Select Name. The following prompt appears at the bottom of your 
     screen:

          Batch tag:

4.   Type the name of the file or file pattern you want tagged and press 
     ENTER or click your mouse. All files that match the name you typed 
     are now tagged.

     Note:     You can use DOS wildcards such as * and ? to specify file 
               patterns. For example, if you want to tag all files that begin 
               with the letters CH, you could type CH*.*


TAGGING ONLY TODAY'S FILES

To tag only files that were created or modified today:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Set the Mode: field to "tag files."

3.   Select Only todays files. The files are tagged and the pull-down 
     disappears.


TAGGING FILES THAT HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SINCE THE LAST BACKUP

To tag files that have been modified since the last time they were backed 
up:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Set the Mode: field to "tag files."

3.   Select Archive (changed files). The files are tagged and the pull-
     down disappears.


TAGGING FILES WITHIN A .ZIP FILE ALL AT ONCE

If you want to tag all files that are part of a .ZIP file, all you have to do
is tag the .ZIP file and all files within that file will be tagged. You do
not have to tag each file separately.


FLIPPING THE TAG STATUS FOR ALL FILES FOUND

PKZOOM allows you to "flip" tags. For example, you can tag all files 
that are currently un-tagged and un-tag all files that are currently tagged.

To flip tags:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Select Flip Tags. The tags are now flipped and the pull-down 
     disappears.


CLEARING ALL TAGS AT ONCE

If you determine that you have tagged the wrong files or just changed 
your mind and don't want to tag any files, you can clear all the tags at one 
time.

To clear all tags:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Select Clear all tags. The tags are cleared and the pull-down 
     disappears.


CLEARING TAGS BY NAME

To clear tags for files by name:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

     screen:

          Batch tag:

4.   Type the name of the file or file pattern you want cleared and press 
     ENTER or click your mouse. The tags are cleared and the pull-down 
     disappears.

     Note:     You can use DOS wildcards such as * and ? to specify file 
               patterns. For example, if you want to tag all files that begin 
               with the letters CH, you could type CH*.*

 
CLEARING TAGS FOR TODAY'S FILES

To clear tags for all files that were created or modified today:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Set the Mode: field to "clear tags."

3.   Select Only todays files. The tags are cleared and the pull-down 
     disappears.


CLEARING TAGS FOR ALL FILES THAT HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SINCE THE
LAST BACKUP

To clear tags for all files that have been changed since the last time they 
were backed up:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Tag. The Tag pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Set the Mode: field to "clear tags."

3.   Select Archive (changed files). The tags are cleared and the pull-
     down disappears.


SAVING A LIST OF TAGGED FILES

When you search for files, then tag them to perform some task on them 
(for example, extract or print), you might want to save a list of those files 
for current or future use.

To create a list file:

1.   Make sure you've tagged the necessary files.

2.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Misc. The Misc pull-down 
     appears.

3.   Select List file. The List File pull-down appears.

4.   Make entries in the following fields:

    Note:     Use your arrow keys to move from field to field.
      
    Field:                        Description:

    Enter list file name:         Type a name for your list file. This 
                                  name must conform to DOS naming 
                                  conventions.

                                  Note:     You can also tell PKZOOM
                                            where to put the file by 
                                            specifying a drive or directory 
                                            path.

    Include path names            This field allows you to indicate 
                                  whether or not you want to include 
                                  the full path names in your list file.

                                  Press the SPACE BAR or click your 
                                  mouse to select one of the following:
     
                                       YES = Include path names.
                                        
                                       NO = Don't include path names.
                                   
                                  This field defaults to YES.
      

5.   When you have finished making entries, press F1. The Create a List
     File pull-down disappears and the list file is created.

     If you typed a list file name incorrectly, the following message 
     appears at the bottom of your screen:

          ERROR - Could not create a list file

     Follow steps 2 through 5 to try again.

The list file you created appears in the directory you were in when you 
started PKZOOM, or in the directory that you specified.



STARTING TO WORK WITH THE FILES

To work with files that you tagged, you will use the Unzip Menu on the 
PKZOOM Main Menu.


ACCESSING THE UNZIP MENU

To access the Unzip Menu:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Unzip. The Unzip pull-down 
     appears.
 
     The middle three items (pAth creation, Newer, and Overwrite) act 
     as toggle switches. When you first select this pull-down, a bullet 
     appears to the left of each option, indicating that it is turned 
     off. When you select one of these options, a check mark replaces the 
     bullet, indicating that the option has been turned on. If you select it 
     again, the bullet reappears and the option is turned off.

2.   To:                      Go to:

     View the files           Viewing Files

     Print the files          Printing Files

     Delete the files         Deleting Files



WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T TAG FILES

If you don't tag at least one file before you extract, PKZOOM displays the 
following message when you try to extract:

     ERROR - Tag the file(s) in the .ZIP that you wish to work with

Press ENTER or click the left button on your mouse to remove the 
message, then tag the necessary files. Refer to Tagging Your Files for 
more information.


EXTRACTING FILES

With PKZOOM, you can extract the files that were found within .ZIP 
files. Before you extract a file, you can tell PKZOOM:

     *    Whether or not you want to retain the directory structure of the 
          files when they were first zipped. For example, if you have a file 
          called resume.doc and it was stored in the \JOBS\FIND directory 
          when it was originally zipped, you can tell PKZOOM to retain 
          that directory structure when you extract the file.

          Refer to your PKZIP manual for more information.

     *    Whether or not you want to extract only files that are newer than 
          files on the hard drive that have the same names.

     *    Whether or not you want to overwrite files with the same name.

     *    Where you want the files (and directory path, if retained) to be 
          extracted. This allows you create a new directory or specify an 
          existing directory under which you want to put the files. If you 
          don't specify a location, PKZOOM automatically puts the file in 
          the directory that you were in when you first started PKZOOM.

          Note:     Keep in mind that the tasks in this section are optional.
                    Their purpose is to give you more flexibility when you
                    extract files. The next section, Preparing to Extract,
                    shows you how to perform these tasks.


PREPARING TO EXTRACT

To prepare to extract:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Unzip. The Unzip pull-down 
     appears.

2.   To:                           Do the following:

                                   2.   Type the location at which you want
                                   the extracted files to go and press ENTER. 
                                   For example, if you want the extracted 
                                   files to go to a directory named 
                                   RESUME and that directory appears 
                                   under the JOBS directory, you would

                                   Note:     When you type a location, you 
                                             can specify a drive other than 
                                             the one you are currently on. 
                                             You can also use the DOS 
                                             conventions for typing 
                                             directories and specifying rela-
                                             tive directory paths, for 
                                             example, double periods (..)
                                             to go back one directory level.                                           back one directory level.

          PKZOOM.

     *    Quit and jump to the directory in which the file that you specified
          from the list is located.


QUITTING AND RETURNING TO THE STARTING DIRECTORY

To quit this PKZOOM Menu session and return to the directory in which 
you started the session:

1.   At the PKZOOM Main Menu, select Exit. The Exit pull-down 
     appears.

2.   Select ALT X Orig. dir. The DOS prompt appears and you are now

USING PKZOOM FROM A COMMAND LINE

PKZOOM allows you to work from a DOS command prompt. You can 
perform your entire search task at the command prompt and bypass the 
PKZOOM Menu, or you can start your search at the command prompt, 
then continue to specify search criteria using the PKZOOM Menu.

The PKZOOM Command-Line method is similar to PKZFIND in that 
you type your command at a DOS prompt. Therefore, most DOS 
conventions apply. For example, you can specify a drive or include a DOS 
wildcard. With the PKZOOM Command-Line method, you can:

     *    Search on a different drive.
     
     *    Search in a specific directory.
     
     *    Specify a file pattern using DOS wildcards.

Refer to the Searching On a Different Drive, Searching In a Specific 
Directory, and Specifying a File Pattern Using DOS Wildcards sections in 
Chapter 3 - Using PKZFIND of the User Manual.


HOW THE PKZOOM COMMAND LINE WORKS

The command you use to search for files is pkzoom. No matter what DOS 
conventions or PKZOOM options you use, pkzoom is always the first 
thing you type at the DOS prompt.

With the pkzoom command, you can:

     *    Start your search from the command line
     
                              or 
     
     *    Go directly to the PKZOOM Menu to continue specifying search 
          criteria.

When you type the pkzoom command and press ENTER, the PKZOOM 
Main Menu appears, with the Filespec option pull-down displayed. (This 
is the option you select to start your search.) 

You can bypass the PKZOOM Menu by including an option in your 
command, -go. When you include the -go option in your command, 
PKZOOM skips the menu and starts searching for files immediately. 
Refer to Understanding PKZOOM Command-Line Options for more 
information.


UNDERSTANDING PKZOOM COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

The PKZOOM Command Line contains several options that help your 
file search. Each option is represented by one or more letters that you 
include in the pkzoom command. You cannot combine options in a 
command line.

The following is a list of available options:

To:                                Use the following option:

Include files within .ZIP          -z or -z+                                
files in your search

Not include files within .ZIP      -z-
files in your search

Search only in .ZIP files          -zo

Display all files at once          -w
(no pause between each file)

Search all drives (both            -a
local and network)

Search only local drives           -al

Search only network drives         -an

Set your screen display to         -b
"black and white"

Set your screen display to         -c
"color"

Start your search from the         -l
current directory 

Begin the search without going     -go or -g
to the PKZOOM Menu

                                   Note:     If you use other 
                                             options with this 
                                             option, -go must 
                                             be the first option 
                                             after the dash in 
                                             your command.



INCLUDING AN OPTION IN THE PKZOOM COMMAND

You can put the PKZOOM options anywhere in the pkzoom command, 
but it must be separated from other elements in the command (for 
example, a file name) by spaces. The example below uses the -go option, 
which allows you to do your entire search from the command line.

     pkzoom   -go  JOBS


USING MORE THAN ONE OPTION SIMULTANEOUSLY

You can use more than one option in a single command. To combine 
options, just type the options right next to each other in the pkzoom 
command, using one dash (-). Do not put a space between the options. For 
example, if you combined the -go and -z (include files within .ZIP files) 
for the file jobs, you would type the following and press ENTER:

     pkzoom   -goz   JOBS


SEARCHING FOR A FILE

To search for a file:

1.   Start your computer. Make sure your screen is at a DOS prompt (for 
     example, C:\). If you are running Windows, start a DOS window.

2.   At the DOS prompt, type pkzoom, a space, the search criteria and 
     options you want to include, and press ENTER.

     For example, if you are on the C drive and the name of the file you 
     want to search for on that drive is resume.doc, you would type the
     following and press ENTER:

          pkzoom  resume.doc

     In this example, we did not include the -go option. Therefore, the 
     PKZOOM Menu would appear. Continue with step 3 below to
     determine what you would do next.

3.   If you:             This happens:                 Go to:

     Used the            PKZOOM begins to              What Happens When

     -go option                                        PKZOOM Menu



WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PKZOOM SEARCHES

What happens when PKZOOM searches for files depends on whether or 
not any files are found.

If PKZOOM:               The following happens:


Finds the file(s)        Information similar to the following appears:
                         
                         /JOB/RESUME        4534 09-2-94 0:45:48
                         
                         PKZOOM displays the following information 
                         when it finds a file:
                         
                         *    PKZOOM copyright information.
     
                         *    The directory in which the file is located.
                              
                         *    The name of the file.
                              
                         *    The size of the file in bytes.
                              
                         *    The date and time the file was
                              last modified.


Doesn't find the         The following message appears:
file(s)                                                
                              0 file(s) found.
                                                       
                         The DOS prompt appears.



PROCEEDING WITH THE PKZOOM MENU

At this point, you can take advantage of the options on the PKZOOM 
Menu to further define your search, or press ENTER to start your search. 
If you specified a file or file pattern, that information automatically 
appears in the Filespec pull-down. You do not have to re-type it.

To use the PKZOOM Menu, refer to the earlier sections in this manual, 
beginning with Identifying the Parts of Your Screen and Moving Around 
the PKZOOM Menu.

For information on what you can do with the .ZIP files that PKZOOM 
found, refer to Working With .ZIP Files That Were Found, which also 
appears earlier in this file.
