WinZip(R) version 5.0
Copyright (C) 1991-1993 Nico Mak Computing, Inc.

The following is a list of changes in WinZip 5.0. For a list of
changes in earlier versions see the section titled "Version
History" in the online help.
- Added PKZIP-comptiable built-in zipping, so PKZIP is not needed
for basic archive management. Note that two advanced features,
disk-spanning and encryption, still require PKZIP.
- Added support for Windows-based virus scanners. Two scanners
are automatically detected by WinZip:
NAVW, distributed with Norton Desktop for Windows 2.2
WNAPVIR, distributed with Central Point Desktop for Windows
The MWAV.EXE scanner distributed with MS-DOS 6.0 is not
supported because it does not provide command line switches for
automation.
- Added File/Information dialog box (shortcut: click on status
line while WinZip is active).
- Added support for international characters in archive names and
files in archives.
- Built-in unzipping is used when running DOS virus scanners.
- Added built-in Actions/Test operation for ZIP files.
- Multiple WinZip windows (tasks) can now use the built-in
unzipping (and zipping) at the same time (earlier versions used
PKUNZIP for the second task).
- Added new icon.
- Internal unzipping is now used when fileids are specified in the
Extract dialog box (earlier versions used PKUNZIP in this
situation) .
- The Optional Working Directory in the Directories dialog box can
now be used for removable media only. By default the Optional
Working Directory is set to your temp directory and is used for
removable media only.
- The CheckOut features now uses subdirectory information in
archives.
- The focus in the "View Last Output" dialog box is now initially
on the OK button instead of the multi-line edit field.
- Clicking on an inactive WinZip window no longer activates Abort
dialog during zip or unzip operation - you must activate the
window THEN click on it to get the Abort dialog box.
- The extract operation will now issue an error message if you try
to overlay a file that is "in use" by Windows, even if SHARE is
not loaded. For example, you can't accidentally replace the
copy of WINZIP.EXE that you are running, as this could cause a
crash.
- Zero length ZIP files are now opened correctly.
- Built-in unzipping now creates zero length files when
appropriate.
- Built-in unzipping now handles hidden subdirectories.
- The text of default button in the "Add" and "Drop" dialog boxes
reflects the selected action (Add, Freshen, Update, or Move).
- If no CheckOut Base Directory is specified and the archive is on
a floppy WinZip suggests the Temp directory as the CheckOut base
directory.
- Optional beep now only sounds if archive operation took over one
second.
- Better sorting (e.g. sort by type also sorts by name).
- Added "Always On Top" to the system menu.
