Revision History
----------------
November 02. 1990
Version 3.0W
Created this version to run on computers that refused to run version 3.01
due to a new and unforseen hardware bug between windows and a very few
computers. We implemented most of the changes execpt for the function that
was causing the strange hardware problem. Users of version 3.0W will have
all of the functionality of version 3.0W.
October 20, 1990
Version 3.0W
As promised version 3.0W of Zip Manager will now function properly
on computers with the bios compatibility problem that version 3.0
detected. We discovered a way to bypass the this incompatibility and
deliver a stable product for all windows users.
We are developing a separate program called WinDoctor that will examine your
current hardware and report any incompatibilities found. In addition it
will check you ram to verify that every chip is in proper working condition.
It will also check your video card and video memory for any incompatibilities.
WinDoctor should be available around the first of December 1990. You are
welcome to call the BBS nearer the release date for further information.
October 2, 1990
Published and included in the documentation the zmdiag.txt file after
discovering that the way in which Zip Manager executes its DOS programs
gave it the uncanny ability to locate and identify bios chips that were
not fully compatible with windows.
September 21, 1990
Initial release of Zip Manager 3.0
Before you read this short file we would like to ask a favor.
Please UPLOAD THIS ZIP to your favorite BBS. There are many users

grateful if you could pass this one along. Please leave a comment

All patches and interim updates will be posted on our BBS ONLY.

------------------------> EVERYONE READ THIS <----------------------------
Before you tear off and start Zipping and UnZipping the daylights out of your
files. It is IMPERATIVE that if you were using version 2.X of Zip Manager
that you read the Installation portion on the documentation. Failure to do
so could and most likely WILL cause you to have a problem trying to
run Zip Manager 3.0W It is a completely new program that has nothing in
common with the previous versions. You should also read the update.doc file
for important information specific to version 3.0W of Zip Manager.
----------------------> Printing The Documentation <------------------------
All of the documentation including this file, is formatted to print correctly
on a Dot Matrix or HP LaserJet(or Compatible Printer). Included is a program
called prndocs.exe. It will print all of the documentation including this
file to the printer installed on LPT1. If your prefer to use the program
before reading the documentation, at least be sure to read the update.doc
file.
From everyone here at Moon Valley Software I would like to express my
sincerest gratitude. It was a pleasure writing this program for all of
the users who were both kind in their criticisms of version 2.X, and offered
many of the wish list items that made it into this version.
Yours for better computing...
Eric Anderson
President
