PKUNZIP to opposite split               %c%p%O%r                      (note 2)
PKZIP to opposite split                 %c%? %d\*.*%O%r               (note 3)
Use LIST.COM to find text string        %c*.* /F%?%D                  (note 4)
Use QP.COM to print in background       %c-f %p%-                     (note 5)

note 1:  These codes should be assigned to a LIST application.
note 2:  PKUNZIP will usually run in a 128K window.  Using these codes for
         a PKUNZIP window causes the pointed-at ZIP file to be unzipped to
         the directory in the opposite split, or, if the screen is not
         split, the directory in the directory line of the PKUNZIP PIF
         (i.e. The 'Directory.:' field on page 1 of Change a Program).
         If the PIF directory is blank, unzipping will occur into the
         current directory.  When PKUNZIP is finished and DV Tree again
         becomes foreground, the displayed directories will be automatically
         updated.
note 3:  PKZIP will usually run in a 128K window.  These codes will first
         prompt for variable input (in this case the desired ZIP file name),
         then zip all the files in the current directory into a .ZIP file
         in the directory in the opposite split (or...etc. - see note 2).
note 4:  This example exploits the /F command line feature of Vernon Buerg's
         LIST program to scan all the files in the current directory for
         a specific text string.  Assign to a LIST window; LIST will usually
         run in well under 100K (I use 75K for LIST.COM, and 32K for
         LISTS.COM.)  Note re:LIST:  Once the first occurrence of the string
         is found, the alt-A command will continue the search through
         the remaining files (the LIST F3 and A commands will not load the
         next file.)  Recommended version of LIST:  LIST75A or above.
note 5:  QP.COM is a small utility (distributed as QUPIE.ZIP) that does a
         nice job of performing background print functions.

                         ***   General Note   ***

DESQview is designed to run applications in separate windows or partitions,
and DV Tree is designed to maximize this capability.  However, many users
of DESQview tend to do a lot of work in generic 'Big DOS' or other DOS
windows, and avoid creating separate Open Window entries for smaller programs.
To get the most out of DV Tree's DESQview Functions features, users should
use Add a Program to create separate Open Window entries for such programs
as file listers, editors, and word processors.  Many such programs will
run in surprisingly small amounts of memory - Vernon Buerg's famous LIST
shareware program, for example, may be run in an 80K window (or a 30K
window with the LISTS.COM in newer releases).  Some of the better shareware
text editors will run in well under 100K - thus in a 640K machine with DV Tree
it is possible to list one file, edit another, and still have a couple
hundred K to run other programs.  With the proper software mix, the myth
that running DESQview on anything short of a 386 with 2 Megs of memory may
be easily dispelled.  DV Tree itself was developed on a 286 clone with only
1 meg of memory for a good portion of it's development cycle.
