WinZip(R) Self-Extractor version 2.2 BETA
Copyright (C) 1991-1998 Nico Mak Computing, Inc.
All Rights Reserved
New Features in WinZip Self-Extractor 2.2 Include:
- Self-extracting files can span multiple removable disks.
- 32-bit Self-Extractors for Software Installation can run standard
Microsoft-format .INF files as an alternative to "setup" programs.
- Self-Extracting files can open any file using the application
associated with that file on the end-user's machine.
- Self-Extracting files can display simple "splash screens" with text
and buttons (OK, OK/Cancel, or Yes/No).
- 32-bit Standard Self-Extractors include a Browse button so users can
easily select an "unzip to" folder.
- Improved user interface and customization facilities when creating
self-extracting zip files.
Other Changes and Fixes Include:
- There is no practical limit on the length of optional command issued
by self-extracting files after the unzip operation completes.
- You can create self-extracting files that both unzip and overwrite
automatically.
- Self-extracting zip files no longer contain the "licensed to username"
text, and copyright information is in the "About: box only.
- A dot as the "unzip to" folder unzips to the current directory instead
of the directory containing the self-extractor.
- Empty directories in the Zip file are created during the extraction
process.
- The text in the "About" box can be modified in all types of
self-extracting files (in earlier versions, the About box text could
only be modified in self-extractors for software installation).
- Under Windows 95, 98, and NT, Self-Extractors for Software Installation
now clean up files even if the install process involves a reboot.
- WinZip Self-Extractor can be run from the Start menu's Run dialog box
by simply typing "winzipse" (in earlier versions, you had to type the
full path, for example, "c:\program files\WinZip
Self-Extractor\winzipse").
