- General Information:
-
- Windows UnArchive is a program which is used to extract and
- decompress files from ZIP and ARJ format archives. It takes
- the place of both command-line DOS unarchivers and
- Windows-based front ends for those utilities.
-
- Windows UnArchive is the succesor to Windows Unzip, which is now
- discontinued. Those with registered copies of Windows Unzip can
- still receive phone, mail, and e-mail support, and an inexpensive
- upgrade option is to Windows UnArchive is available.
-
- Features and improvements over Windows Unzip include:
-
- * 60% - 90% faster exploding than Windows Unzip
- * Support for the ARJ archive format
- * Ability to run a member file using its assocciation
- * A new "Try Out" feature, perfect for trying downloads
-
-
- To use Windows UnArchive you must have MS-Windows 3.0 or greater and
- you must run Windows in Standard or Enhanced Mode. Windows UnArchive
- will not operate in Real Mode.
-
- To try Windows UnArchive, place the files WUNA.EXE and WUNA.HLP together
- in your windows directory, or some other directory in your path. You
- can then run WUNA.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 UnArchive in this document, I have
- put all instructions in the help file, WUNA.HLP. To view this file you can
- click the Help button in Windows UnArchive or run the command-line:
- "winhelp.exe [path]wuna.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 or ARJ files, you
- should find Windows UnArchive 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 UnArchive
- with File Manager.
-
-

-
- Windows UnArchive is not free. It is a commercial Shareware product. You
