Dec 12, 2001 Rev 10007 
        
     The ZIPPY extender has been updated to a few format
                to allow more descriptive function names and additional
                parameters.  This version of the extender requires
                WinBatch 2001A or newer to run.  This extender will 
                not work on WinBatch 2000C or older.
                
                In addition, so as not to affect existing scripts using 
                a previous version of this extender, the extender DLL 
                has been renamed to include a 34I in the DLL name 
                instead of a 32I.  Old and new versions of this 
                extender can *usually* co-exist side by side.
                
                To use the new extender with old scripts and with 
                WinBatch 2001A or newer you will need to change the 
                AddExtender line in the script to reflect the new DLL 
                name.   e.g.
                
                   AddExtender("WWZIP32I.DLL")
                should become
                   AddExtender("WWZIP34I.DLL")

New zipper extender, version 10006 posted.


Fixes the problem whereby specifying *.zip for a series of zip files in a directory 
returned the error message, "Cannot find any matches for wildcard specification", and 
wasn't unzipping any of the zip files.

Strings in the Zip extender are returned in line-feed terminated strings.  This will be changed
in the next release of the Zip extender.  In the meantime, use the following code to replace @LFs
with @CRLFs.

	rslt=zUnZipFiles....
	rslt=StrReplace(rslt,@tab,zzz,@CRLF)
	handle=FileOpen....
	FileWrite(handle,rslt)
	FileClose(handle)
