To open an archive simply double click on an archive listed in the File Manager or Explorer, or use the standard Open dialog. The main EasyZip window features a list box with the names, sizes, and date/time stamps of all files in the open archive. This list can be scrolled and sorted on any field. A Toolbar provides fast access to commonly used actions. All options (including window size and position) are saved and restored. Double clicking on a file in the main window has the same effect as double clicking in the File Manager or Explorer. First the file is extracted from the archive. If the file is executable, it is run. Otherwise, the file is opened by the appropriate application (for example, Windows Write for *.WRI files) based on standard Windows associations.
