BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! If you want to make yourself a *quick* viewer for .ZIP files - that is, display the contents of a "member" file without having actually to extract the thing to disk, use a 4DOS alias on the order of: V=pkunzip -c %& | list /s If the .ZIP file to view is TEST.ZIP and you want to read the README.DOC file that's within it, use this "V" alias at the DOS prompt as follows: V test readme.doc It tells PKUNZIP to use its "-c" (extract to console) function, and perform the operation on the entire command tail (that is: the same as the command: PKUNZIP -C TEST README.DOC ... and then the output is piped to 4DOS' internal LIST command. The "/S" switch is **MANDATORY** when LIST is used this way (same as when you pipe information to Vernon Buerg's shareware LIST.COM program - same command-line switch, in fact). There is a lot to be said for some of these fancy "front end" programs for use with .ZIP (and other) archive files. But if you want a *super-fast* viewer, try the above, especially with 4DOS' internal LIST command. (It will also work fine if there are wildcards in either the .ZIP name or the "member" file name.)
