Appendix E - Extra Utilities

It order to save you time some extra public domain programs have been included. These have all been included at no extra cost to you. They have been included here to save you the effort of having to go and find them yourself. Some of the here are for use with 2LZH. However, you may wish to learn how to use them and then use them by themselves. FST which is also included, is provided as an excellent testing and reporting tool.

The files which are supplied are listed below with a brief description of each one.

It is your responsibility to unpack them and register the products (if required) as described in the licence agreements contained within the archives.

WarpSpeed Computers does not warrant or support these programs. They are provided here for your convenience only.

LH.EXE

This is the unpacked 16 bit version of the LH archiver. If you wish you may unpack LH2_222.EXE and use the 32 bit version. 2LZH requires the LZH archiving program to be called LH.EXE. Thus you would have to rename LH32.EXE to LH.EXE.

LH2_222.EXE

This is the complete self extracting archive package written by Peter Fitzsimmons. Peter has released LH into the public domain. Thus it is freely available to everyone, for whatever use, at no charge.

This is the 16 bit version of the Info-ZIP UNZIP program. It may be used with both OS/2 1.x and 2.x.

This version is compatible with the newer Deflation scheme which PKZIP 2.x introduced. Its versions are fully HPFS and Extended Attribute aware. This utility is publicly available, and is included at no extra cost to you. The source code for these utilities is also available for those of you who wish to view or modify it for other systems.

UARJ241P.LZH

This is version 2.41 of Robert Jung's UNARJ program. It only extracts ARJ archives which were produced by the DOS ARJ program. Currently there is no OS/2 version of ARJ. Included by kind permission of the author.

FST03F.ZIP

Fst (File System Tool) is a tool for checking HPFS and FAT drives, like CHKDSK, and for information about HPFS and FAT drives. Unlike CHKDSK, fst does not attempt to fix the errors it finds. Instead, fst prints the relevant sector numbers for each defect so that you can examine and/or fix the defects with DISKEDIT.

Fst is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
