EZ Download
-----------
Version 96.7.12
---------------
EZ Download 96 is a plug-in that makes downloading programs a snap.
It can be plugged into both Netscape and America Online WWW Browser.
For novice and advanced users alike.
If you find downloading a program to the right folder, retrieving it,
moving it, unzipping it, locating the install program and finally
cleaning after it frustrating, then EZ Download is for you.
If you have no idea what a zip file is and you really don't want
to know, then EZ Download is also for you.
EZ Download manages the entire download process safely and intelligently.
HOW TO INSTALL
--------------
Run setup.exe
HOW TO UNINSTALL

TIPS
----
Netscape saves .zip and .exe files in the folder pointed to by
the TEMP environment variable.
The Windows default for the TEMP setting is C:\DOS, which is messy if not
dangerous.
To change the TEMP setting to C:\Windows\temp for example, insert the
following line in C:\autoexec.bat:
set temp=C:\Windows\temp
Once Netscape finishes downloading the .zip or the .exe, EZ Download
unzips and/or runs it in a temporary folder under the Download folder
(C:\downloaded files by default).
If you choose to not install the file right away, EZ Download simply
moves it to the Download folder. To install it later, right click on the
file and select EZ Install.
EZ Download requires pkunzip.exe to unzip files. By default, it expects it
to be in a folder that is on your PATH (which is another environment variable).
However, if that's not your case, you can set pkunzip.exe's location under
Options.
