I.  Files
    ------

     To update Z3HELP-x.LBR .HZP files in mass
     ------------------------------------------
       EX.COM        -  Submit.com replacement (use ZEX if you prefer)
       CL.COM        -  CL002.COM standalone library compression utility
       W.COM         -  Wildcard processor (for CL, which doesn't handle AFN) 
       EXTUPDTS.SUB  -  Extracts from updates to a specified DU:
                         (need also LBREXT.COM)
       LPUTHLP.SUB   -  Puts back in proper Z3HELP-x file from 
                         specified DU: (need also LPUT.COM)

     Optional to update MENUs in Z3HELP-x to change instructions
     ----------------------------------------------------------
       NUHEADER      -  New text for RCPMs with Z3HELP online -
                         adds reference to ^C to break out of LBRHLP
                         for novice callers.  Can use with ZDE macro.
       EXTMENU.SUB   -  Extracts menu .HZP file only from Z3HELP-x.LBRs
       LPUTMENU.SUB  -  Puts the .HZP menu back in Z3HELP-x.LBRs


II.  To Use
     ------          

       1) Pick a temporary working DU: on your hard drive as 
          destination for extracted files (E8: default there now).  
          Put all the .SUB files there, make LBREXT (I call LEX),
          LPUT,EX,CL,and W available in the path.
     
       2) Modify the .SUB files for your source and destination DU:'s,
          and change my LEX to LBREXT, or your LBREXT to LEX, whatever.
          All my source Z3HELP files, including updates, are generally on 
          the same DU: (makes it convenient, most ZNODES with ZHELP:
          are that way).      

       3) Run EX EXTUPDTS.SUB
          Run EX LPUTHLP.SUB

       4) CL will re-compress your files. You are updated.

       
III.  To ALTER Menu Headers
      ---------------------

      1)  The help files are online on DHN*.  To access them, all you need to
          do is type the first letter of the file you wish help on (ie. A will
          give you Z3HELP-A and it's .HZP files).  I use ALIAS.CMD command
          files to expand the command to LBRHLP A, for example. Only trouble 
          is, novice callers who sometimes type a single letter by mistake find
          themselves in the HELP menu, and often don't know to ^C to escape.
          There's no mention in the menu intro text.  So, I changed the 
          intro text, to NUHEADER.  I suggest you consider the same.  I 
          created the ?MENU.SUB files, and NUHEADER to accomplish this.
          I created a ZDE macro to automate inserting NEWHEADER.

      2)  Modify EXTMENU.SUB and LPUTMENU.SUB for your source and destination
          files.  Make sure CRUNCH is also available in the path.  You can
          change the CRUNCH parameter to current date. 

          You also can create a ZDE MACRO file to make life much easier.  
          Here's mine:

               ^X            -  moves down one line
               ^Y^Y^Y^Y      -  deletes existing text
               ^KRNUHEADER   -  loads the new text file
               ^KD           -  saves it and prompts for the next letter


          And it takes under 5 minutes to handle 24 help files this way.


      3)  Run EXTMENU.SUB.  Using ZDE, change the text info.  Then run
          LPUTMENU.SUB.

      4)  You are updated.                
          
IV.  Comments, and Other Z3HELP Update Utilities
     -------------------------------------------

As I had suggested with version 1, standalone (or ARUNZ) versions can
be created. Nods should go to Tony Parker for his variation using NULU 
scripts (I learned something about NULU), and Ed McGovern for his HUP.CMD,
for ARUNZ.  I have yet to try those, but we've all had some fun here.
Also to Bill for all his work (hope your new work with MSDOS doesn't 
stop your flow of Z3HELP updates, Bill!)  Last to Michael Carson, who
did CL for private ZSIG distribution in back in 4/89, and then apparently 
got distracted. I'm taking a liberty here and including CL in .COM form 
for a good purpose, and don't think Michael will mind.
 
Enjoy,
