type INSTALL from the temporary directory.

Using Archive Manager
---------------------
The simplest way to use Archive Manager is to make a shadow of it on
your desktop, and drag archive files to it when you want to manipulate
them. If you installed Archive Manager with the accompanying installation
program, it will be set up with an association for ZIP and LZH files, and
files with these extensions will display the Archive Manager icon.
Dealing with ZIP files made with PKZIP 2.04g
--------------------------------------------
The current OS/2 version of PKZIP can not read files created with the current
DOS version of PKZIP. If you need to work with .ZIP files created with
PKZIP 2.04g, you must use the InfoZIP archivers, available on most BBSes.
These can handle .ZIP files created with PKZIP 2.04g.
NOTE:
Only InfoZIP 5.x and above are supported! Earlier versions are not able
to extract files to a specified directory, and are NOT supported with
Archive Manager.
