Hey all -- I am a sysop running Sync v3.13. I am looking for a good external ãfile viewer for .ZIP files. I would like for users to have the ability to ãview .txt and .nfo files that are inside archives. A bonus feature would be ãthe ability to download files that are inside the archive but that is not a ãnecessity.ããI've tried using Syncview, an app written for Sync v2 and it does work with ãSync v3 but it has a bunch of nag screens and that sort of thing. I've tried ãsome other file viewing apps but they app use PKUNZIP (v2.04g, dos APP) to ãextract files, and while I have pkunzip, these other programs are ruled out ãbecause they extract every file you choose to view. Optimally the file ãviewing program would only read header information from the .ZIP file to ãdetermin it's contents and would not need to extract the file unless the user ãhas chosen to view files within the archive.ããIf anyone has any suggestion for a good Sync v3 external file viewer I'd be ãinterested in hearing about it.ããI have thought about coding one myself in Baja but I do not know how to use ãBaja to read the .ZIP file format.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

ããJas,ããThat is exactly what I was looking for. A program that would run from the ãfile listing. Optimally it would just be a baja script that you would execute ãwhen the user hits [V] to view files, or an external door app (not ãnecessarily baja) that would serve the same function.ããI went down the route of using the temp menu. It is full-featured but it ãlacks the simple elegance traditionally found in bbs archive viewing apps.ããThanks,ã-hellionãã-hL!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
