-
- WinZip is distributed as Shareware. This means that users are
- encouraged, subject to restrictions described in the License Agreement,
- to share copies of this program with friends, associates and bulletin
- boards. Please remember that if you use this software you are required
- to pay the registration fee of $29 as described in the section titled
- Copyright/License Agreement/Warranty.
-
- * Overview
-
- ZIP files contain other files. Typically the files in a ZIP file are
- compressed. ZIP files make it easy to group files and makes
- transporting and copying these files faster. ARC files perform the same
- function as ZIP files, but use a different file format. When the term
- "ZIP file" is used in WinZip documentation, it usually also refers to
- ARC files. See the section titled ARC File Notes in the online
- documentation for more information.
-
- WinZip(TM) is a ZIP shell for Windows. It provides an easy-to-use
- SAA/CUA compliant interface for quickly adding, deleting, extracting,
- viewing, and running files in a ZIP file. WinZip also supports ARC
- files and self-extracting ZIP files. It includes a CheckOut feature
- that makes it easy to examine and/or run files in a ZIP file. An
- optional interface to virus scanning software is provided. The program
- is easy to install, and extensive online help is always available. All
- options (including screen size and position) can be saved and restored.
-
- The main WinZip window includes a list of files in the open ZIP file.
- This list can be scrolled and sorted by name, extension, date, or size.
- Files can be added, deleted, extracted, or viewed using pull-down menu
- entries and push buttons. Double clicking on a file opens the file with
- the appropriate application (for example, files with an extension of
- .WRI are opened by the Windows Write application).
-
- The CheckOut facility creates a Program Manager group for all files in a
- ZIP. This group contains one icon for each file. Double clicking on an
- icon runs the appropriate program. If the file is executable, it is
- run. Otherwise, the file is opened by the appropriate application for
- viewing.
-
- WinZip supports the CUA "object-action process sequence" philosophy.
- This allows you to select objects (for example, files you want to
- extract or view) and then specify the action you want to perform.
- Alternately, you can use WinZip in a more traditional "action-object"
- style of interaction.
-
- To start WinZip from the Program Manager, double click on the WinZip
- icon. To open an existing ZIP file from the File Manager, simply double
- click on the ZIP file.
-
- WinZip requires the Shareware PKZIP/PKUNZIP product from PKWARE, Inc.
- It interfaces to one of three programs to access ARC files and
- optionally runs the SCAN virus scanner from McAfee Associates. WinZip
- runs these programs in the background in Windows Enhanced (80386) mode,
- or as full-screen applications in Standard and Real modes. For more
- information on this aspect of the program, see the section titled
- Enhanced, Standard, and Real modes.
-
- This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
- principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
- shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
- directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
- resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
- technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
- Ombudsman at P.O. Box 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a
- Compuserve message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

- * PMZIP - An OS/2 Version of WinZip
-
- PMZIP(TM) is an OS/2 Presentation Manager version of WinZip 1.0. At the
- time of this writing PMZIP does not include the new features in WinZip
- 2.0 (see the section titled Version History for details). However,
- PMZIP makes use of some OS/2 features not available under Windows,
- including threads for faster execution, and support for the File Manager
- drag and drop facility. It also features a file search facility to
- locate selected ZIP files anywhere on a disk.
-
- PMZIP has been available as Shareware since January, 1991, for the same
- price as WinZip. Orders for WinZip placed in 1991 will include a free
- registered copy of the latest version of PMZIP. Similarly, orders for
- PMZIP placed in 1991 will include a free registered version of the
- latest version of WinZip.
-
- The shareware version of PMZIP can be downloaded from the IBMOS2 forum
- on CompuServe, the IBM.OS2 conference on BIX, and many OS/2 bulletin
- board systems.

-
- * Installation and System Requirements
-
- System Requirements:
-
- - Windows 3.0 or later.
-
- - The PKWARE, Inc. PKZIP(TM) and PKUNZIP(TM) Shareware programs. You
- can download these programs from most bulletin boards (the latest
- version is distributed in the self-extracting ZIP file PKZ110.EXE), or
- order them directly from PKWARE (phone 414-352- 3670).
-
- - To access ARC files one of the following programs is required:
-
- ARCE.COM and ARC-E.COM - Vern Berg's ARC extraction utility, available
- on CompuServe and other bulletin boards.
-
- PKXARC.COM version 3.5 from PKWARE, Inc. This program is still
- available on some bulletin boards.
-
- ARC.EXE version 5.20 or 6.0 from System Enhancement Associates, Inc.
- This is last version of ARC available as Shareware, and is still
- available on some bulletin boards. SEA's address is 925 Clifton Ave.,
- Clifton, NJ 07013.
-
- Note: you are likely to encounter problems with earlier versions of
- these programs.
-
- - You can run the McAfee Associates SCAN.EXE virus scanning utility from
- within WinZip. SCAN is available from CompuServe, BIX, and other
- bulletin boards. McAfee Associates address is 4423 Cheeney Street,
- Santa Clara, CA 95054.
-
- Note: Like WinZip, the PKZIP, PKUNZIP, ZIP2EXE, ARC, PKXARC, and SCAN
- programs are not free software. As with all Shareware, if you use these
- programs you should register them with the appropriate vendor.
-
- WinZip-related files are:
-
- - README.1ST introductory information
- - WINZIP.DOC extracts from online documentation
- - WINZIP.HLP documentation in online hypertext help format
- - WINZIP.EXE required executable
- - WZ.COM required executable
- - WZ.PIF required Program Information File
- - ORDER.DOC order form
- - VENDOR.DOC information for Shareware Distributors and Disk Vendors
-
- Installation:
-
- Before running WinZip, follow this easy one time installation procedure:
-
- 1) If you already have installed a previous version of WinZip, backup
- and delete all files in your WinZip directory. Otherwise create a
- directory to hold the WinZip related files. For example, "C:\WINZIP".
-
- 2) Copy all WinZip-related files to this directory. At a minimum you
- need the following files: WINZIP.EXE, WZ.COM, WZ.PIF, and WINZIP.HLP.
-
- 3) Run WINZIP.EXE. If Windows is not loaded, issue the WIN command, and
- specify the full pathname to WINZIP.EXE. For example, if you copied the
- WinZip related files into a directory named C:\WINZIP, you would issue
- the following command from the DOS prompt:
-
- WIN C:\WINZIP\WINZIP.EXE
-
- Alternately, if you are already running Windows, simply double click on
- the WINZIP.EXE entry in the File Manager. If you are not familiar with
- the File Manager, you can instead follow these four steps to run WinZip
- for the first time:
-
- a. Activate the Program Manager.
-
- b. Choose Run... from the File menu. The Run dialog box appears.
-
- c. Type the full filename of WINZIP.EXE in the Command Line text box.
- For example, C:\WINZIP\WINZIP.EXE
-
- d. Choose OK.
-
- That's all there is installing WinZip. When WinZip is activated for the
- first time, the Welcome and Configuration dialog boxes are automatically
- displayed, and you are ready to go. Remember that while WinZip is
- active, online help is always available by pressing F1.
-
- Notes:
-
- 1) The first time WinZip is run, it will offer to add a WinZip icon to
- your Program Manager Accessories Group. Choose Yes in response to this
- question unless you want to add the icon yourself (the Accessories Group
- is merely a default location for the icon - you can drag it to any other
- group like any other Program Manager icon). Once this is done, you can
- start WinZip by double clicking on the WinZip icon the Program Manager.
- Alternately, you can open an existing ZIP file from the File Manager by
- double clicking on the file.
-
- 2) WIN.INI associations for files with an extension of "ZIP" and "ZIP"
- are set up by the automatic installation procedure so that you can start
- WinZip by double clicking on the icons for these files while running the
- File Manager. Also, if you there is no association for .HLP files,
- WinZip sets one up to let you view .HLP files by double clicking on
- them.
