*** latzip *** Version 1.1
|
|
|
|
A simple tool for zipping files or folders under TOS or FreeMiNT,
|
|
by using MiNT zip executables.
|
|
latzip is running on Ataris, FireBee and emulators.
|
|
Written with GFA Basic (GFA source included).
|
|
|
|
68k version: latzip.prg
|
|
Coldfire/FireBee version: latzip.app
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
Unpack the archive, place latzip.prg (.app) as a desktop icon for easy
|
|
drag and drop.
|
|
|
|
Under TOS (-desktop) select latzip.prg (.app) and set in desktop menu/
|
|
Options/Install applications... the option "Parameter" to "Full path".
|
|
Desktops like TeraDesk or Thing! do this per default.
|
|
|
|
For MiNT: If you install latzip on an ext2 partition you must set latzip.prg
|
|
(.app) and the .ttps in folder /arc to "executable".
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to save desktop options!
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
- Doubleclick on latzip.prg (.app) and select a file or folder to compress
|
|
in the fileselector. You can also drag and drop a file or folder on the
|
|
program icon.
|
|
- Then you can choose if the file/folder is zipped with the same name
|
|
(+ .zip extension) and location, or if you want to use another name/location
|
|
for the zip archive. You don't need to enter the extension ".zip" for the
|
|
archive name, it will be added automatically.
|
|
- If a zip archive with this name is already present (or if you select an
|
|
existing zip archive as output file), the new file/folder will be added
|
|
(or updated if present in the archive before).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Zipping multiple files/folders at once or space characters in names
|
|
are not supported yet.
|
|
- Already compressed archives can not be zipped again.
|
|
- Automatic language setting only works with "newer" TOSes (which support
|
|
the _AKP cookie/language). For older machines please rename in folder
|
|
"lang" the english (default) file "lzip_en.txt" to "lzip_en.txx" and
|
|
then rename the language file of your choice to "lzip_en.txt".
|
|
Sorry for this inconvenience.
|
|
- The zip executable don't accept spaces or additional dots for the
|
|
ARCHIVE NAME. So if you zip a file/folder with multiple dots in its name,
|
|
these will be converted to underscores " _ " for the archive name, e.g.
|
|
input file "a.name.with.dots.txt" will generate the archive name
|
|
"a_name_with_dots.zip" (file in archive keeps its original name of course).
|
|
If you enter an archive filename with dots or spaces in output fileselector,
|
|
these will also be converted to undersores.
|
|
- If you need a verbose output (if something don't work), please start the
|
|
program with "-v" as first parameter, e.g.
|
|
- in TOS desktop/Options/Install applications..., enter Argument "-v".
|
|
- in TeraDesk/Options/Set Applications.../Command should be set to "-v%f".
|
|
Under TOS, a logfile named "latzip.log" is created in the program folder;
|
|
under MiNT the same output is also printed in console.
|
|
- MiNT zip executables from:

|
|
|
|
This is the first useful program i wrote, so don't expect too much ;-)
|
|
If you like to translate latzip to other languages please send me a
|
|
translated "lzip_xx.txt" (use lzip_en.txt in folder "lang" as a
|
|
template) and i will enable your language in the program.
|
|
Tested on Falcon/CT60 and FireBee with TOS and FreeMiNT/XaAES.
|
|
Use at your own risk!
