Info-ZIP is a group of C programmers, with the goal of offering a free ZIP packer and unpacker on as many platforms as possible. With their permission, we translated parts of their code to Turbo Pascal and integrated it into Windows Commander. The condition was that we did not charge additional fees for their code and that the source code is free (see below).
The Chief contributor to the unzipping code was Mark Adler. Special thanks go to him for making it available for free!
If you can access the Internet, you can get the original c code in
If you can access the Internet, you can get the original c code in
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/... [MIRRORS THE INFO-ZIP HOME SITE]
or on some simtel.net mirrors. Our code will be available in the future on some Internet hosts (look for info-unz.dll).
The ZIP packer uses the ZLIB library by Jean-loup Gailly of info-zip. I didn't convert it to pascal, but put it in the DLL wcmzip16.dll. ZLIB is available at the same site on the Internet.
Free unzip source code in Turbo Pascal
If you are a Turbo Pascal programmer, you can get the source code to my unzipping unit free by proceeding as follows:
Send a formatted 3 1/2 inch-Disk and postage (international reply coupon: Europe CHF 2.-, Rest of the world CHF 3.-) to the following address:
C. Ghisler & Co.
P.O. Box
CH-3065 Bolligen
Switzerland
This offer is totally independent of Windows Commander. There is absolutely no obligation to buy! We can also e-mail you the source code for free.

Find files: Advanced
From windows Commande Help
Advanced
These advanced search options are only used in some special cases, for example if the date of a letter is known, but not its file name.
Field Meaning
Date between: These two fields allow to specify the period of time when the file was last modified. Only one or also both fields can be given.
Not older than: Allows to specify how old the file can be.
File size: Here you can search for files smaller or larger than a specific size
Attributes: Search for files with special attributes, like hidden, system, or for directories.
Duplicate file finder Searches the given directories for files which have the same name, size, and/or same contents. Only files occurring multipe times will be shown, grouped together by same files, and separated by a dashed line.
same name If checked, files will only be compared if they have the same name. If unchecked, the option 'same size' must be checked. Not checking 'same name' is useful to find e.g. identical backup copies.
same size If checked, files with the same size are considered to be identical.
same contents If files are found with identical size, they will also be checked for same content. Although this takes much longer, it ensures that the files are 100% identical.
If 'same name' is checked, the files will be sorted by name, otherwise by size, so identical files can be grouped together.

Find files: General
From windows Commande Help
General
This page allows to search for file names, parts of file names, and text inside files.
Field Meaning
Search for: In this field, you can enter the search mask for the files you want to find.
Examples:
*.ini finds for example win.ini
Smith finds "Letter to Mr. Smith.doc"
*.bak *.sik *.old finds all backup files with these extensions
*n.ini now finds names which must contain an 'n' in front of the dot.
New: w*.*|*.bak *.old finds files, which start with w and do not end with .bak or .old.
Search in: Here you can enter one or more starting directories, separated by ";".
Drives Selects the drive(s) you want to search. You can select multiple drives.
Only search in selected directories/files
Only search in directories and files selected in Windows Commander's active file window. This allows to include/exclude specific files and directories from the search.
Search archives Enables search in files with extension ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, TAR, GZ, CAB and ACE. Text can even be searched in archives (now also in CAB)! The files are unpacked, searched and deleted on the fly.
Find text If this option is checked, you can enter text to be searched. With \t you find tabstops, and with \n line breaks (ENTER) in texts. To find a backslash \, you need to give it twice: \\ .
Whole words only Limits the search to whole words only.
Case sensitive Recognizes the case (small or big letters) of the word.
Example: Windows finds only "Windows", but not "WINDOWS"
ASCII-Charset (DOS) Special characters like the pound sign (£) are translated to their DOS equivalents (they have a different place in the DOS character set than in the Windows character set).
Find files NOT containing the text
Searches for all files which do not contain the given text, but still meet all other search criteria. Application: Multiple files need to be modified, and only the not yet modified should be shown.
Unicode Search in unicode files. In these, each letter is coded by 2 bytes. This format is used mainly on Windows NT and Windows 2000.
Hex Search for hexadecimal characters, e.g. 00 FF 12, or mixed, e.g. "PK"0102
Feed to listbox Transfers the files you found to the source file window, where they can be listed, copied or even deleted. This can only work when archives aren't searched.
go to file If you selected a file in the list of files you found, you can change to the directory of this file by pressing go to file. With F2 or Ctrl+R, you can go back to normal file display mode.
Start search: This button starts the search. It can be interrupted by pressing ESC or the Cancel button.

Command line: keys
From windows Commande Help
If Windows Commander is active, nearly all keyboard input is directed to the command line.
Here is the layout for some keys:
ENTER The command line is executed, if it contains at least one character (otherwise, the program under the cursor in the source window is started). If the command is cd, md or rd, it is executed internally. If it is an internal DOS command, DOS will be executed with this command. Otherwise, a program with the given name is executed.
SHIFT-ENTER Similar to ENTER, but with preceding command /c. After the called DOS program is terminated, its window is not automatically closed. This will only work if the file noclose.pif is in your Windows directory.
CTRL-ENTER The file under the cursor in the source directory is added to the end of the command line.
CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER The file under the cursor including its path is added to the end of the command line.
CTRL-CURSORDOWN
or ALT+F8 A list with the latest command lines (history-list) is opened. Hold down the CTRL key and use the up and down cursor keys to select an entry. By pressing the left or right key, you can edit the command line. This automatically closes the list.
TAB Puts the cursor back to the source directory.
Cursor keys Cursor left and cursor right move the cursor through the command line, even if the cursor was in the source directory before. If brief was selected, these keys move the cursor through the source directory. You then have to hold down SHIFT to move it inside the command line.
Cursor up and cursor down move the cursor bar inside the source window, even if it was inside the command line.
ESC, CTRL+Y Clears the command line.
CTRL+K Delete to end of line
CTRL+W Delete the word to the left of the cursor
CTRL+T Delete the word to the right of the cursor

Field Meaning
From windows Commande Help
A menu file is a normal text file which describes the main menu. If you want to change the main menu by hand, you should save it with a different name, otherwise it will be overwritten with your next update!!!
Every submenu starts with the command POPUP, followed by the title of the submenu in double quotation marks ("). Popup Menus can have submenus themselves. In the title, a letter with a & in front of it will be underlined and can be jumped at with ALT+Letter. Example for a popup menu:
POPUP "&Files"
- A menu item is defined as follows: After the command MENUITEM follows the text of the item in double quotation marks, then a comma, and finally the identifier for the menu command. A list with all identifiers can be found in wincmd.inc. Windows Commander uses this file to translate identifiers to numbers. You should open this file with notepad and print if you plan to change the main menu. In the menu item text, the characters \t will be converted to a tabstop. Example for a menu item:
MENUITEM "&Pack...\tALT+F5", cm_PackFiles
- With the command MENUITEM SEPARATOR you can add a horizontal line.
- Every POPUP menu ends with the command END_POPUP. Example:
POPUP "&Files"
MENUITEM "&Change attributes...", cm_SetAttrib
MENUITEM "&Pack...\tALT+F5", cm_PackFiles
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
POPUP "&More commands"
MENUITEM "&Associate...", cm_associate
MENUITEM "&Calculate occupied space...", cm_GetFileSpace
END_POPUP
END_POPUP
Special commands:
- With the command STARTMENU you insert the menu Starter at the actual position in the main menu bar.
- With the command HELP_BREAK you insert a break in the main menu. After that break, all menus will be right adjusted. Note: STARTMENU cannot follow directly after HELP_BREAK!
Identifiers:
All identifiers start with the letters cm_ (abbr. for command). Identifiers which start with cm_src act upon the source directory. Identifiers with cm_left act on the left, with cm_right on the right directory window.
Only identifiers which are in wincmd.inc can be used! You can also directly specify the numbers given in wincmd.inc. However, the file wincmd.inc must be present at runtime if you want to use an external menu.

Packing / unpacking with Windows Commander
From windows Commande Help
Unpacking
Open the file to be unpacked in one of the file Windows (by double clicking on its filename). Change the path of the other file window to the destination where you want to put the files. In the source directory, choose the files you want to unpack. Press F5 (copy). This opens the dialog for unpacking files. To unpack all files, just press ALT+F9. Windows Commander has built-in unpackers for ZIP, ARJ, LZH, .RAR, .TAR, .GZ, .CAB and .ACE files.
Packing
Choose the files you want to pack. Then choose pack from the menu Files or press ALT+F5. A dialog will appear, where you can select options for packing the files. ENTER the desired file name for the archive you want to create. After you press ENTER, the files are packed to this file.
To move (pack & delete) the selected files, press SHIFT while pressing ALT+F5 or choosing pack from the menu.
Important: In the dialog box you must specify the name of the packer (zip, arj, lha, rar, uc2 or ace) and a colon in front of the file name, e.g. zip:c:\test.zip, otherwise the files will be copied/moved normally!!!
If you have configured Windows Commander to use the internal ZIP packer you can still use the external packer (pkzip or zip-nt): Instead of ZIP: place the string EXT: (for external) in front of the ZIP filename! You can also force the internal ZIP packer by specifying INT:.
Adding files to an existing archive
If you want to add files to an existing archive, proceed as follows: open the archive file in one file window. Select the files and directories you want to add in the other window. Press F5 to pack the selected files. This will again show the dialog for packing
, pressing ENTER starts the appropriate packer. TAR, GZ and CAB archives cannot be modified.
Pressing F6 will move (pack & delete) the selected files.
Restriction: You cannot add files to any subdirectory of an archive, except with the internal ZIP packer and with UC2. However, you can add whole directories with all their files. You can choose whether you want to save the packed files including their paths, or simply the files alone. To add files to a subdirectory with the internal packer or with Uc2 you must separate the subdirectory with a forward slash / , not a backslash!
Example: zip:c:\test.zip/this\is\a\subdir
Deleting files from an archive
Open the archive you want to delete files from by double clicking on it. Select the files and/or directories you want to delete and press F8 to delete them.
List files from an archive
To show files with the built-in or external lister, just press F3. After a warning dialog box, the file is unpacked and then shown. After you close the lister, the temporary file is deleted though the original archive is not affected.
Edit files from an archive
To edit a file with the editor of your choice, just press F4. The file is then automatically unpacked and will be repacked into the archive if it was changed with the editor. Repacking will NOT work to TAR, GZ and CAB archives! Instead, the modified file will not be deleted and remain in the temporary directory.
To edit a file with its associated program, press ENTER, then select Unpack and Execute. The file is then automatically unpacked. It can also be repacked if it was changed.

Windows Commander can work with packed files as if they were directories. This means that you can double click (or press ENTER) on such an archive, and Windows Commander will show the contents of this file. All files packed into the archive are shown in a normal file window.
If a file was packed into the archive together with its path, the relevant directories are shown as normal directories. You can navigate in these directories as normal and unpack any files and even complete directories. If you want to know more about a packed file, just press ENTER to show details like full path, compression method and ratio.
Windows Commander can now also open archives in archives! To unpack an archive to a temporary directory, just press ENTER on that archive. If the archive has an unusual extension, or is a self extracting archive, you must press CTRL+PgDn instead. When you leave the archive by switching to its parent directory, or by switching to a different drive, the archive will be automatically deleted from the temporary directory.

Self extracting archives
From windows Commande Help
Windows Commander also supports self extracting archives with EXE or COM extension. To open such an archive, place the cursor on the file and press CTRL+PgDn. To create a self extracting ZIP archive, rename a ZIP file to an EXE file. Windows Commander will then ask if you want to create a self extracting ZIP archive.
How to produce archives?
To pack and unpack files, you need special pack programs like pkzip.exe, pkunzip.exe, arj.exe, lha.exe, rar.exe, uc.exe
and ace.exe. Windows Commander can act as a shell for these programs. Additionally Windows Commander contains a Pkzip-compatible internal packer, which supports nearly all functions of pkzip, even the creation of multi-volume ZIP files! Only the encryption isn't supported because of the restrictive US export laws. The packer is based on Zlib by Jean-loup Gailly. The C source is freely available at the following ftp address on the Internet: ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip
.TAR, .GZ and .CAB archives can only be unpacked, NOT created by Windows Commander.

Working with archives (ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, CAB, ACE)
From windows Commande Help
Important note:
Most packers do NOT support Win95/98 and WinNT long filenames! Exceptions are the internal ZIP packer built into Windows Commander, Zip-NT (ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/) and very new versions of UC2, RAR, LHA and ACE. If possible always use the internal ZIP packer! In this version Windows Commander checks the created archive directly after packing to ensure that it isn't defective. This can be disabled by adding the line VerifyZip=0 to the section [Packer] in wincmd.ini.
What are archives?
Archives (packed files) are normal files with the extensions .ZIP, .ARJ, .LZH, .RAR, .UC2, .CAB, .ACE. Such files contain other files in a compressed form, which takes up less disk space than uncompressed files. To access these files, they have first to be uncompressed. Files with extension .TAR come from the UNIX world - they are usually packed into a GZIP file (ending with .GZ). They cannot be modified with Windows Commander. The CAB archive format is used by Microsoft for installation programs. CAB archives can only be unpacked by Windows Commander. CAB files are only supported by the 32 bit version.

F8: Delete
From windows Commande Help
Select the files and/or directories you want to delete, then press F8.
After confirmation, the files are deleted. The process can be interrupted at any time with the Cancel dialog. For each non-empty directory, an additional dialog box will ask for confirmation. Warning: All files AND DIRECTORIES in that directory will be deleted. You could use Microsoft Undelete to recover those files (only on Windows 3.1(1)).
On Windows 95/98/NT, the files are automatically moved to the 'Recycle Bin'. You can double click the Recycle Bin on the Desktop to restore these files or to remove them completely. You can also choose in Recycle Bin how much space the deleted files can take, and also if you don't want to use Recycle Bin at all. If you want to delete files without moving them to recycle bin, you can hold down the SHIFT key while pressing F8 or DEL. You can disable the use of Recycle Bin in Windows Commander by making a change to Wincmd.ini, key UseTrash.
If the source directory shows the contents of an archive, the corresponding packer is started to delete the files. The files are deleted directly without moving them to Recycle Bin.
In the 32-bit version, the delete operation can be moved to the background by pressing the 'Background' button during the delete operation.

F6: Rename / Move
From windows Commande Help
This command permits the renaming of files and whole directories in the source directory, and can be used to move them to different directories or even to different drives. You can also move (pack & delete) files into archives.
Select the files and/or directories you want to rename or move, then press F6. If you only want to rename a file in place, press SHIFT+F6 instead. This will open an inplace edit window around the file to be renamed. Important: You must press ENTER to confirm that you want to rename the file. Clicking outside the inplace edit window will cancel the operation. If you don't like getting the inplace rename window when clicking on the same file twice, add the string InplaceRename=0 to the [Configuration] section in wincmd.ini. When renaming a ZIP file to an EXE file, Windows Commander will ask if you want to create a self extracting ZIP archive. If you choose 'yes', the EXE file will be converted.
F6 opens a dialog box where you can type the target path and a file mask. As a default, the path of the target window is presented. If you do not specify a target directory, the source directory is assumed, i.e. you rename the files. If you do not specify a file mask, the file name is not changed. Additionally, you can choose the target directory with the directory tree by pressing the tree button. See also copy (F5).
SHIFT+F6 with multiple selected files opens a dialog box which allows to specify wildcards (* and ?) to rename multiple files. New: You can select the option Rename each file separately, then you will be asked for a new name for each file separately.
If the source directory shows the contents of an archive, this function is unavailable. Exception: You can rename single files/dirs with Shift+F6 inside ZIP files.

F5: Copy
From windows Commande Help
This command copies files and whole directories from the source directory to another directory.
Select the files you want to copy and press F5.
This opens a dialog box where you can type the target path and a file mask. As a default, the path of the target window is presented together with *.* as the file mask. You can use any type of valid DOS file name including wild cards as your target file name. In the field below, you can define that only specific files should be copied. Example: You can copy only files with the extension *.txt (also applies to files in subdirs!).
To copy a file in the same directory (to a different name), press SHIFT+F5. If you are running Windows 95/98 or NT new shell you can create shortcuts with CTRL+SHIFT+F5.
With the button labeled Tree you can choose the target directory from a directory tree. If you want to choose from a different directory, you can specify the drive (including the :) in the dialog box before selecting the Tree button.
If the source directory shows the contents of an archive, the dialog to unpack files is shown. You can now also unpack files directly from an archive to an FTP server! The files will then first be unpacked to a temporary directory, and then uploaded to the remote server. The reverse (FTP to archive) isn't supported. The danger is too high that after a long download, the pack operation fails, and the downloaded files are lost.
Alternatively, if the target directory shows the contents of an archive (and the source directory shows a normal directory), the dialog to pack files is shown.
If you want to create a new archive and pack the selected files into it, simply press ALT+F5. This will open a dialog box to pack files. With ALT+SHIFT+F5 the files will be deleted after packing. New: You can now also pack files directly from one archive to another!
If you want to unpack the archive under the cursor (or the selected archives), press ALT+F9. After giving the target directory (and if desired a file mask), all files from the archive will be unpacked.
In the 32-bit version, the copy, unpack (zip only) and pack operations can be moved to the background by pressing the 'Background' button during the copy operation. This allows to do other things in Windows Commander during the operation. You need to press F2 or CTRL+R to refresh the directory after a background operation completes. Otherwise modified files will not be shown.

Drag & Drop
From windows Commande Help
Drag & Drop
Select some files, click on them with your left mouse button and hold it down. Move the mouse pointer to the other file window or to any other application which supports drag & drop. The mouse pointer will change its shape during this process:
A slashed circle means that the application under the pointer will not accept a Drop, or that the dragged files have the wrong extension.
An arrow with three little squares attached to it means that the application is ready to accept the files. If you now release the left mouse button the files are accepted by the application.
If the mouse points to a subdirectory or an archive (in Windows Commander), a frame will appear around it. This means that the selected files will be moved/copied there if you release the left mouse button. If the whole target directory is full of directory entries, you can make a Drop to the target directory itself by releasing the files a little above or below the target directory.
The buttons View (F3), Edit (F4) and Delete (F8) can also be a target for Drag&Drop actions. The initiated actions are the same as if you just press the button(s) directly.
You can also drop files on the button bar. If you drag a file onto an icon, the corresponding program is started with this file (or the first marked file). If you drag a file on a blank space in the bar, or if you hold down the SHIFT key during the drop, the file will be inserted into the bar at this position.
If you have set Windows Commander to left mouse button selection mode, you can use the right mouse to Drag&Drop too. In this case, you will get a menu when dropping the files which allows to choose between copy, move, and create shortcut.
Examples for Drag&Drop:
- Drag the selected files from the root to the target directory. This will copy the files after confirmation by the user.
- Drag the files to a subdirectory to copy them there.
- Keep the ALT or SHIFT key depressed to move the files instead of copying them. This will be shown by a minus (-) sign in the drag cursor.
- Keep the CTRL and SHIFT key depressed to create shortcuts of the files instead of copying them. This will be shown by an arrow sign in the drag cursor. This will only work in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT new shell.
- Drag the files to an archive to add them to this archive.
- You can drag a single file to the print manager (Win 3.1) to print it. If the file is associated for printing with a program, this program will be loaded and the file is printed.
- Some other programs like Paintbrush, Write, Cardfile and a few Shareware programs also support Drag&Drop. Just try it out. (Caution with trashcans, they will delete your files!)
- You can drag a file to the task bar in Windows 95/98/NT, but you cannot drop it there. Instead dragging files to the taskbar will bring the associated program to the front, so you can drop the files there.
- You can now drop files on the Desktop, and even on Explorer folders (Win95/98/NT only).
- Drag a file to the command line to add its short (DOS) name to it. To add the long name, press Ctrl+Enter instead. Holding down Shift adds the name with full path.

What is Windows Commander?
From windows Commande Help
Windows Commander is a file manager for Windows (TM) similar to the Windows Explorer. But Windows Commander uses a different approach: it has two fixed windows side by side like a well-known file manager for DOS.
Here are some key features of Windows Commander:
- Keyboard functions similar to the DOS original.
