- ++--Welcome!
- Thank you for downloading this Visual Basic 5 component. Please
- take some time to read through thedocumentation and the sample
- project included. This component was built using Visual Basic 5.0

- the new runtime from:
- http://www.vbasic.net/download/msvbm50.zip (Place in Windows/System)
-
- **Note**: IF YOU HAVE VB5 THEN YOU MUST EITHER UPGRADE TO SERVICE PACK 2 OR 3.

- ++--Note from the author
-
- I'm currently working on a customized install program (along with a million other things) that will
- make installing updates and new versions a breeze. It will actually use the ActiveZipper Pro source
- code so you can see it in action first hand!
- Registered users:
- Until I finish the members area, please email me so you can receive an updated copy of ActiveZipper
- Pro.
- =================================================================================================

- Revision History:
- October 12, 1997 - ActiveZipper Pro officially released. (1.0f 1080)
-
- October 20, 1997 - A few bugs caused people not to be able to decompress archives. (1.0f 1082)
-
- November 12, 1997 - This version is much more stable, many little bugs stomped. (1.0f 1084)
-
- November 16, 1997 - Major upgrade! CRC Checksum added to ensure integrity of individual files
- and many bugs fixed. Many new methods added to make control easier to use, but it is still
- backwards compatible. Next update will (or should) include disk spanning! (1.0f 1086)
-
- November 18, 1997 - Adding features introduced a few bugs but they were fixed in this
- version! Look for a new VB Example to go along with ActiveZipper Pro in a few days! (1.0f 1088)
-
- November 29, 1997 - After listening to a few users, this control was redone a little under the
- hood to make it more programmer freindly and now comes with a brand new demo/example! (1.0f 1090)
-
- February 1, 1998 - Added the option of encrypting files, it's very fast. Encrypts a
- 163kb file in 8 seconds and offers a 32bit cipher. Very easy to use and all automatic. Disk
- spanning was also added to this release! Documentation is now in help file format! (1.0f 1092)
-
- March 13, 1998 - ActiveZipper Pro has a real installer, this was due to the fact that the control
- did not want to register itself properly on some machines, hopefully this will alleviate the
- problems people are having. (1.0f 1092r2)
-
- April 14, 1998 - ActiveZipper Pro now supports the IIS environment! Yes, you can now use ActiveZipper
- Pro along with your MS Internet Information Server (3.0 or 4.0) O'Reilly WebSite still has to be
- tested on but should work well. Fixed a nasty bug that caused ActiveZipper Pro to fail when using
- the Disk spanning feature (1.0f 1092r3)
-
- August 31, 1998 - General maintainence release. Some minor bugs squashed and tweaked the compression
- engine slightly. (1.0f 1092r4)
-
- November 25, 1998 - PKzip/PKunzip support implemented. Streamlined the use of the control and new
- version includes a brand new rewritten help file! More methods and properties will be put in
- shortly. (1.0f 1094)
-
- Janurary 4, 1999 - First release of the new year and this version eliminates a nasty bug in the
- UnZipIt method (thanks to a hawk eyed user). (1.0f 1094r2)
-
- January 12, 1999 - Some more bugs found in the PKzip/PKunzip portion of ActiveZipper Pro, these
- have been fixed along with some typographical errors corrected in the help file. (1.0f 1094r3)
-
- February 13, 1999 - Some bugs with splitting and assembly have been fixed along with with
- the ControlStatus/Progress confusion. (1.0f 1096)
