- 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.
-
- 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
- * Cooperative multitasking while unarchiving
-
- 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 DOS search path. Put the file
- BWCC.DLL in the system subdirectory of your windows directory. (You may already
- have this file from other programs. If so, you only need one copy. Keep the copy
- with the latest date.) You can then run WUNA.EXE or 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 simple 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.
-
-
- Money Stuff:
-
- Windows UnArchive is not free. It is a commercial Shareware product. You are permited to
- evaluate this product for 15 days. After that time you must register or discontinue using
- the program. The use of unregistered copies of Windows UnArchive, beyond the evaluation
- period, by any person, business, corporation, government agency or any other entity is
- strictly prohibited. The basic registration fee for Windows UnArchive is $10. For
- instructions on how to register, see the file ORDRFRM.WRI. CompuServe users should read
- SWREG.WRI for information on a very convenient way to order, and the fastest way to get rid
- of that annoying nag screen.
