Future Plans

In order of priority, these are the features I plan to add. The top few will appear in the next version.

• Permit the creation of self-extracting archives, both IBM and Macintosh
• Integrated text reader so you don’t have to unzip a text file in order to read it
• Improve ZipIt’s AppleEvents, and support the AppleEvent Object Model
• Plug-in capability, so that external code could be written to allow ZipIt to take advantage of other compression formats
• Add a Replace All button, during the extraction process
• Add a factory settings options to the Extension Mapping preference dialog box
