Windows Unzip 1.07
An Extraction utility for MS-Windows 3.0

General Information:
Windows Unzip is a program which is used to extract and decompress files
from ZIP archives. It takes the place of both command-line DOS unzippers
and Windows-based front ends for those unzippers.
To use Windows Unzip you must have MS-Windows 3.0 or greater and you must
run Windows in Standard or Enhanced Mode. Windows Unzip will not operate
in Real Mode.
To try Windows Unzip, place the files wunzip.exe and wunzip.hlp together
in your windows directory, or some other directory in your path. You can
then run wunzip.exe from Program Manager, File Manager, or any other shell.
If you don't know how to use File Manager, or set up a program in Program
manager, please refer to your Windows manual.
Rather than explain how to use Windows Unzip in this document, I have put
all instructions in the help file, wunzip.hlp. To view this file you can
click the Help button in Windows Unzip or run the command-line:
"winhelp.exe [path]wunzip.hlp" from Program Manager or File Manager.
(Look for the Run command under the File menu in either program.) If you
have used Windows for any length of time at all, and know about ZIP files,
you should find Windows Unzip easy to use with minimal use of the help file.
Even if you are an experienced Windows user, please read the command-line
section of the help file for some information on using Windows Unzip with
File Manager.
Windows Unzip is not free. It is a commercial Shareware product, free from
any Crippleware or Annoyware influences. You are permitted to evaluate this
product for 15 days. After that time you must register or discontinue
using the program. To register Windows Unzip, send $5, cash or U.S. check
to:
James N. Hughes
107 Bloomingdale Street
Chelsea, MA 02150
along with your name, information on where you obtained Windows Unzip (just
curious), and address or email address of any kind. This fee will entitle
you to use Windows Unzip on one computer at a time. You may freely change
from machine to machine, as long as there is no chance that your copy of
Windows Unzip is running simultaneously on more than one computer at any
time. Registering will enable you to legally and morally continue using
Windows Unzip, and will entitle you to substantial discounts on future
software products, including enhancements to Windows Unzip.
If you would like a disk with the latest copy of Windows Unzip, this is
available for an extra $5, for a total of $10. (Please specify 5.25" or
3.5" disk.) Multiple registrations are available for $4/computer without
disks or $8/computer with disks.
Registered users of Windows Unzip 1.00 or 1.05 are automatically registered to use
this and all releases numbered 1.XX.
Whether or not you choose to register, I'd enjoy hearing your comments on my
program. Please send all suggestions, gripes, bug reports and anything else
to the above address, or you can reach me at any of these addresses:
