About This Release
==================
This is a solid and polished rewrite of the original `Zoom' 4.2
program. Many (lots of!) bugs have been fixed and new features added.
Unlike the previous release this revision has survived intensive beta
testing across the last few months.
The file format `Zoom' outputs has changed substancially and can no
longer be decompressed by older `Zoom' releases. Nevertheless, `Zoom'
5.4 will still read and decompress older style archives.

This release is being distributed in the form of a self-extracting
archive file. To obtain the distribution files, enter the Shell/CLI,
type `Zoom54.SFX' and press return, the following files will be
created in the current directory:
Release Date: 28-Feb-92, 10:49
Zoom (CRC = $5C645E7E, Size = 82180 Bytes)
Zoom.info
CRC (CRC = $4F5177B9, Size = 4104 Bytes)
arp.library (CRC = $805F8D84, Size = 17100 Bytes)
Zoom.doc (Size = 33209 Bytes)
Use the CRC utility to verify if the `Zoom54.SFX' file is in
correct state (enter `CRC Zoom4.SFX' and press return). The WRAP
checksums of all executable files (Zoom and CRC) should be zero.
For those who need to write additional file integrity checking
tools, I have provided a separate tool, it is included (along with the
`C' source code) in the `Support' directory:
ZoomCheck (CRC = $A9032803, WRAP = $268F2443, Size = 9832 Bytes)
ZoomCheck.c (CRC = $A6D28603, WRAP = $321DE33E, Size = 9801 Bytes)
Release Date: 28-Feb-91, 10:56
Zoom54.SFX (CRC = $95E47084, WRAP = $D87D9E03, Size 88276 Bytes)
If the checksums do not match the given samples, the archive has
been accidentally corrupted or deliberately modified!
If you don't trust the checksums, send me a letter or electronic
mail (adresses listed below) and ask for the `factory checksums':
