FV - Verbose Archive Directory Lister Version 1.35 ------------------------------------- March 12, 1991 Purpose: To display the names and attributes of files contained within archive files with extensions of ARC, ZIP, PAK, DWC, LZH, ZOO, LBR, and most self-extracting .COM and .EXE files created by archive utilities. Format: FV [d:][path]filespec[.ext] [filespecs ... filespecs] [/p] [/b] [/w] [/r] [/c] [/x] [>outfile] Notes: If no operands are entered, a display of the program's command format is displayed. The drive and path are optional. The filespec may contain the wildcard characters * and ?. All archive files matching the file specification are processed. If the filespec extension is omitted, all known archive extensions are checked. The 'filespecs' operand limits the display to filenames within the archives which match this file specification. There may be up to eight 'filespecs'. Use the /p parameter to pause the display when the screen fills. Use the /b parameter to suppress the d:\path information in the display. Use the /w parameter to display member names only in a 5-up display. Use the /c parameter to display archive and file comments for ZIP files. The /r redate option changes the archive file date to be the latest date of the files within the archive. The /x option converts a self-extracting (.EXE) file to a new archive file with the proper extension and format in the current directory. (c) Copyright by Vernon D. Buerg 1989-91.
