PKZip.EXE
VersaForm ships with a utility called "PKZip.exe". This program compresses or shrinks files. The "zipped" files take from 50% to 70% less space on a disk. The smaller files are likely to fit on a floppy disk easier and are a preferred format when sending files over phone lines.
To locate the utility from VersaForm:
At any screen in VersaForm press <Alt+U> to get the Utility Menu.
Select "Shell to DOS" and press <Enter>
You are now at the DOS prompt. The command to type at this point is:
pkzip –a zipfilename filetoshrinkname
Where zipfilename = name of the file you will create to hold your file(s).
Where filetoshrinkname = the name of the file(s) you want to compress.
For Example:
Pkzip –a ledger.zip ledger.vfm
Will copy and compress "ledger.vfm" into "ledger.zip".
To get help on operating the program type:
Pkzip /?
The program is available for download on the VersaForm BBS.
