                 What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.19


──>  Launch Programs From An Alternate Directory!
       ZIP'R Pro now allows users to specify an alternate directory from which
       to execute the specified program.  Especially useful for word
       processors and applications that need to access data files in different
       locations!

──>  New Option Of Whether Or Not To Load Command Processor!
       A new option within the ZIF Editor allows users to specify whether or
       not ZIP'R Pro loads a secondary command processor before executing a
       program.  This feature can free up an additional 3 - 5K of conventional
       memory!



                 What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.18


──>  Now Includes CGA Support!

                 What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.16


──>  ZIP'R Pro Now Checks For The Compression Program On The DOS Path
       An additional check has been added to attempt to locate the
       selected compressor on the DOS PATH.  If the compressor cannot be
       found in the path specified in the ZIPRPRO.INI file, or in the
       ZIP'R Pro sub-directory, it will search the DOS Path.


──>  Problem Fixes Related To Advanced Compression Options
       Several problems have been fixed related to compression options,
       both in the ZIF Editor Pro, and ZIP'R Pro itself.  For more
       information, see the files ZIFPRO.REV and ZIPRPRO.REV,
       respectively.

──>  Problem Fix In ZIF Editor Pro

                 What's New in ZIP'R Pro For DOS Version 1.14


──>  Major Problem Fix
        A problem was fixed where data loss could occur if the compressed file
        was stored on a floppy diskette, and selective extraction or selective
        exclusion was enabled.


──>  More Extensive Error Trapping
        ZIP'R Pro has been updated with some new error trapping screens in the
        IN Command, Program, and OUT Command execution routines.  If an error
        occurs, ZIP'R Pro traps the error and prompts the user whether to
        continue or not.


──>  New /CLEANUP option
        ZIP'R Pro now supports the use of a /CLEANUP command to erase all
        signal files from the ZIP'R Pro directory.  This option should be used
        with care to ensure that no other processes are using ZIP'R
        Professional.  If you are operating under a network or multitasker
        environment and have experienced hangs, you could have some leftover
        token (signal) files in your \ZIPRPRO sub-directory.  Make sure no one
        else is using ZIP'R Pro and type ZIPRPRO /CLEANUP to erase all
        leftover signal files.

        extensive error trapping than before, and several (obscure) problems
        have been fixed.  For a complete list of fixes, see the files
        ZIPRPRO.REV and ZIFPRO.REV.

        ZIP'R Pro now supports the selective exclusion of specific files from
        the program's compressed file.  (Feature available for PKZIP / PKUNZIP
        only.)  This feature can be useful to dramatically reduce the time
        required to compress and decompress a program.  For more information,
