WinZIP for Windows NT & 95 creates ZIP files without the need for PKZIP. Extracts ZIP, ARC, ARJ and LZH files. It features an intuitive point and click interface for viewing, running, extracting, adding, deleting, and testing files in archives.This is a fully 32bit version of the popular WinZIP program mentioned in Windows Sources. It supports long file names on NTFS, HPFS, or FAT volumes. Supports UNC. Lightning fast zipping and unzipping under NT's advanced file management capabilities. 

The Windows Drag and Drop interface is fully supported.  You can drag and drop files from WinZip to other applications. WinZip will extract the files before dropping them on the target application. The target application will treat the files as if they had been dropped by the File Manager. You can also drop archives on WinZip to open them, or drop files on WinZip to add them to the open archive.

WinZip's unique Install/Uninstall Feature makes it easy to install and uninstall software distributed in archives. This feature can save megabytes of disk space by tracking and removing all traces of an application. WinZip will run the installation program in an archive, give you a chance to try the program, and optionally offer to restore your system to its original state. The uninstall step can selectively remove directories, files, icons, or program groups created by an install program, and can restore any altered INI files. 

Notes: This is a self-installing archive. Run WINZIP95.EXE to decompress and install the program.
