General Information:
Windows UnArchive is a program which is used to extract and
decompress files from ZIP and ARJ format archives. It takes
the place of both command-line DOS unarchivers and
Windows-based front ends for those utilities.
Windows UnArchive is the succesor to Windows Unzip, which is now
discontinued. Those with registered copies of Windows Unzip can
still receive phone, mail, and e-mail support, and an inexpensive
upgrade option is to Windows UnArchive is available.
Features and improvements over Windows Unzip include:
* 60% - 90% faster exploding than Windows Unzip
* Support for the ARJ archive format
* Ability to run a member file using its assocciation
* A new "Try Out" feature, perfect for trying downloads
To use Windows UnArchive you must have MS-Windows 3.0 or greater and
you must run Windows in Standard or Enhanced Mode. Windows UnArchive
will not operate in Real Mode.
To try Windows UnArchive, place the files WUNA.EXE and WUNA.HLP together
in your windows directory, or some other directory in your path. You
can then run WUNA.EXE from Program Manager, File Manager, or any other
shell. If you don't know how to use File Manager, or set up a program
in Program manager, please refer to your Windows manual.
Rather than explain how to use Windows UnArchive in this document, I have
put all instructions in the help file, WUNA.HLP. To view this file you can
click the Help button in Windows UnArchive or run the command-line:
"winhelp.exe [path]wuna.hlp" from Program Manager or File Manager. (Look
for the Run command under the File menu in either program.) If you have used
Windows for any length of time at all, and know about ZIP or ARJ files, you
should find Windows UnArchive easy to use with minimal use of the help file.
Even if you are an experienced Windows user, please read the command-line
section of the help file for some information on using Windows UnArchive
with File Manager.
Money Stuff:
Windows UnArchive is not free. It is a commercial Shareware product. You
are permited to evaluate this product for 15 days. After that time you must
register or discontinue using the program. The use of unregistered copies of
Windows UnArchive, beyond the evaluation period, by any person, business,
corporation, government agency or any other entity is strictly prohibited.
The basic registration fee for Windows UnArchive is $10. Inexpensive upgrades
are available for registered users of Windows Unzip 1.x. For instructions on
how to register, see the file ORDRFRM.WRI.
Whether or not you choose to register, I'd enjoy hearing your comments on my
program. Please send all suggestions, gripes, bug reports and anything else
