'p' - PRINT FILES IN ARCHIVE(S) TO SCREEN 

[REGISTERED VERSION ONLY]

The print command is used to display text files stored in archives, to the
screen.  For example: "lzx p archive.lzx readme.txt".  This features allows
one to read "readme" and ".diz" files in archives without having to
extract the files first.

To read any "readme" type files in a newly obtained archive, one can use a
command similar to: "lzx p archive.lzx #?read#?".

If no file names are specified on the command line, then all files in the
archive(s) are printed; otherwise, only the specified files are tested.  A
short banner appears before each file listed, providing its name and file
length.

This command should be used to view text files only; viewing binary files
will result in garbage being displayed to the screen.  If this should
happen, a ^C (control-C) will abort the operation.

If any of the tested files are corrupted, or a problem is encountered in any
archive(s), LZX will exit with an error code.
