About WinCat/UnZIP
------------------
WinCat/UnZIP 1.0 - copyright 1994 by Mart Heubel - All rights reserved
WinCat/UnZIP is a utility which unpacks (extracts) ZIP archive files.
It's a free add-on for (and only works in combination with) the
WinCat/PRO 3.4 Disk and CDROM Catalog program.
Note that WinCat/UnZIP is not intended to be(come) the ultimate unzip
tool ; all it does (or tries to do) is to unpack all or selected files
from a ZIP archive into a specified directory.
Yet it's simple approach makes it an easy-to-use and fast tool in
combination with WinCat/PRO.
If you need more features or facilities, you should use a specialized
unzip tool, for instance WinZip (copyright Nico Mak Computing, Inc.).
How to install and use WinCat/UnZIP
-----------------------------------
WINCATUZ.EXE needs file WINCATBT.DLL ; this DLL library is distributed
with the WinCat/PRO 3.4 package.
Put file WINCATUZ.EXE and WINCATUZ.WAV in the same directory as WINCAT.EXE
Then start WinCat/PRO. Open the File List window, and define an
association for ZIP files like this :
Button... Command...
Extract WINCATUZ.EXE < >
After you have done this, clicking the 'Extract' button on WinCat's
'Restore File' window will run the UnZIP utility.
On WinCat/UnZIP's window you can see the contents of the selected ZIP
file, it's uncompressed size, and the directory into which it will be
unpacked.
Click the OK button to unpack all (or selected) files from the ZIP
archive, or the Cancel button to end WinCat/UnZIP.
If you click the OK button, this button will disappear and the unpacking
will start ; the zipper will gradually open.
You can abort this process by clicking the Cancel button.
Copyright and acknowledgments
-----------------------------
Many thanks to Christian Ghisler, Bolligen, Switzerland for providing
his Pascal unzip code and allowing me to use it for WinCat/PRO.
This code is based on unzip code developed by the INFO-ZIP group.
The code was translated from C to Pascal by Christian Ghisler
(ghisler@iap.unibe.ch) for a shareware file manager replacement
(Windows Commander).
The unshrinking part was rewritten by Christian Ghisler to avoid the
copyright on the original code by Mr. Smith.
INFO-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip and related utilities) is free and
can be obtained as source code or executables from various
anonymous-ftp sites, including ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/*.
