Overview
--------
Zip Control is a 32-bit threaded OS/2 PM software program which
provides "point & click" access to Zip and UnZip. Info-ZIP's freeware
programs Zip.exe and UnZip.exe are used by many OS/2 users to manage
.zip archives. Zip and UnZip are command line programs which create
and unzip archive files which are compatible with the PKWare PkZip
and PkUnZip 2.04g programs. Additionally, the Info-ZIP programs
support OS/2's long file names and extended attributes.
See Zip Control on-line Help for assistance in using Zip Control.
Note: Zip Control requires Info-ZIP's Zip.exe and UnZip.exe
(Included). (See "Where" below.)
Zip and UnZip are freeware products of Info-ZIP. Zip Control is a
copyrighted software product of RPF Software for which a license
fee must be paid. Info-ZIP and RPF Software are independent
organizations.
Zip Control is copyrighted software, it is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN, it is
NOT FREE. You may use an Evaluation copy of Zip Control for a

which is helpful to you and which you wish to continue using. If

Info-ZIP's Zip.exe and UnZip.exe
--------------------------------
The Zip Control product delivery includes Zip.exe, UnZip.exe, and
UnZipSFX.exe from the Info-ZIP group. There are no extra charges or
costs due to the inclusion of this code. Info-ZIP's Zip and UnZip
software is available as freeware on the Internet at various sites
(including ftp.uu.net://pub/archiving/zip/OS2/), many BBSs which
have OS/2 libraries, on the IBM NSC BBS, and on CompuServe
(OS2USER forum, Library 4 for UNZnnn.EXE and ZIPnnn.ZIP).
Installation
------------
Zip Control may be easily installed by running the included Install.exe
program. The installation program will request the drive and directory
in which Zip Control should be installed. The directory will be created
if it does not exist.
Zip Control Desktop objects (folder, program references) may be
installed by the installation program, at the user's option.
One entry will be placed in the OS2.INI file: the installation directory
for Zip Control. This entry will be used (and removed) if the "Remove"
(Zip Control) option of the Install program is later selected.
Zip Control will store user preferences in the ZipCntrl.ini file which
is created in
