- --------------------------------------------
-
- WiZ 5.02 is a compression and file packaging utility. It is compatible
- with PKZIP 2.04g (Phil Katz ZIP) for MSDOS systems. There are command-
- line companions to WiZ called zip and unzip (of course) which you should
- be able to find the same place you got WiZ. See the file 'WHERE' for
- details on ftp sites and mail servers.
-
- This version of WiZ is basically a complete rewrite of the GUI portion
- of the code. It is also the first version that does not run on 16-bit
- Windows systems (although it does still make a self-extracting file that
- will run on MSDOS). New features include a "zip-diff" capability between
- two archives, multiple archive interface, a completely new editor, the
- ability to scan archives, to "grep" archives and many other nifty, new
- features.
-
- This version still does not support multi-volume archives as in PKZIP
- 2.04g. This may be provided in a future version if time permits.
-
- All bug reports or patches should go to Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu, and
- suggestions for new features can be sent to info-zip@lists.wku.edu
- (although we don't promise to use all suggestions). Patches should be
- sent as context or unified diffs only (diff -c or diff -u).
-
- If you're considering a port, please check with Zip-Bugs FIRST, since
- the code is constantly being updated behind the scenes. We'll arrange
- to give you access to the latest source.
-
- If you'd like to keep up to date with our WiZ, Zip and UnZip development,
- join the ranks of beta testers, add your own thoughts and contributions,
- etc., send a two-line mail message containing the commands HELP and LIST
- (on separate lines in the body of the message, not on the subject line) to
- mxserver@lists.wku.edu. You'll receive two messages listing the various
- Info-ZIP mailing-list formats which are available (and also various un-
- related lists) and instructions on how to subscribe to one or more of them
- (courtesy of Hunter Goatley).
