CCZip the best way to manage ZIP archives using Windows 95/NT

Tips, that will make your life working with ZIPs easier

1.- On the Tools-Options Default directory to look for ZIPs put the directory where all the files you download from the internet are.

2.- Create a ZIP temp directory on your hard drive to try out software downloaded from the internet and to put the contents Setup programs that are distributed as ZIPs.

3.- It is much better to Drag+Drop files from the file manager or Win95 explorer because there you can easily sort files, and do lots of stuff you cant do with Windows common dialogs.

4.- Before extracting files from a ZIP into a directory that is not new double check if you really want to overwrite the existing files.

5.- When you doubleclick on a file named SETUP.EXE or INSTALL.EXE, CCZip will automatically UnZIP the contents of the complete ZIP to a TEMP directory and run the setup program, now you don't have to do this manually.

6.- You can take advantage of using CCZip along with the Windows Explorer: when unzipping a file just drag it to deirectory in the explorer and it will be extracted.

Disk Spanning


Multi Disk Spanning
CCZip the best way to manage ZIP archives using Windows 95/NT

Multiple Disk Spanning

CCZip makes it easy to create Zip files that "span" multiple disks.  This is useful if the files you are working with will not fit on one disk.

To make a Zip file that spans multiple disks, simply create a Zip file on a removable disk, then add files to the Zip as you normally would.  If the disk fills during Add operation, you will be prompted for another disk.  Simply insert the next disk and click the OK button.

Important: disk spanning is not available when adding files to an existing archive; it is only available while creating a new archive.  Also note that you cannot add or remove files from a Zip file that spans disks.  CCZip requires pre-formatted disks (you can format disks using the Windows Explorer or File Manager)

Example:

To zip the files in your c:\mydata folder to a Zip file called A:\MYDATA.ZIP:

1) Start CCZip

2) Click on New and create a file on A: named MYDATA.ZIP

3) Click the Add button

4) Drag and drop the c:\mydata folder from the Explorer or File Manager to the CCZip Add window

3) Click the OK button

If more than one disk is needed, you will be prompted for additional disks, as needed.

Extracting Files
CCZip the best way to manage ZIP archives using Windows 95/NT

Extracting Files from a ZIP Archive

You can extract a copy of compressed files in a Zip file to store a copy of them in their regular, uncompressed form in the location you select. The compressed files remain inside the Zip file unless you remove them. This ensures you retain an archive copy of files you've compressed.

To Extract files from a Zip:

1.- Click on the Open button and a Windows common dialog will appear on screen, there select the ZIP from where you want to extract files and click on OK. All the files compressed in the selected ZIP will appear on screen. You can sort by clicking on Options-Sort and select the desired sort criteria.

2.- If you want to extract a specific file or group of files select them. Click on the Extract button and select the directory on which you want to extract the files (you can create a new one). On the right side of the dialog you may select the convenient extract options, when ready click on OK and CCZip will extract the files from the ZIP on to the selected directory.

To take advantage of drag and drop:

1.- Open the Windows Explorer, select the extract directory

2.- Select the desired files and drag them to the explorer.

After doing so you may select on the left part of the dialog the files you want to Add to the previously selected; ZIP, or even better you can drag and drop any file from the File Manager or the Windows 95 Explorer, doing so you can sort files by time, size or date.

Creating A new ZIP Archive
CCZip the best way to manage ZIP archives using Windows 95/NT

Creating a Zip Archive File in CCZip

With CCZip, you can save storage space by compressing one or more files into a single archive file. After creating a Zip file, you can add any regular files stored on your drives to it. When you do this, CCZip uses special methods and mathematical calculations to compress the files, reducing the amount of storage space required to store the information. Compressing files into a Zip archive file alters the representation of the original file information, but not the information itself. At any time, you can extract (or expand) the individual files to their original state so you can use them.

To create a Zip archive file in CCZip:

1.- Choose the New command from the File menu (or press Ctrl-N). The New Archive dialog box appears.

2.- Enter a filename for the Zip archive file in the File Name text box.

3.- Select where the Zip file should be stored.

4.- Click the Open button.

CCZip creates a empty new Zip archive file in the location you specified. You are ready to add regular files (that you want to compress) to this archive file as explained in the Adding Files to a Zip File topic.

Tip: You may want to make this Zip file into a self-extracting (or self-decrypting) executable file so that you or other people can extract the files it contains without having access to Zip Manager. This process is explained in the Making a Self-Extracting Zip File topic.
