- 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.
