WinZip(R) version 5.0
Copyright (C) 1991-1993 Nico Mak Computing, Inc.
All Rights Reserved
*** FEATURES ***
Key WinZip Features include:
- Built-in PKZIP-compatible ZIP and UNZIP, so PKZIP and PKUNZIP
are not needed for basic archive operations
- Full Drag and Drop support for opening archives, adding files to
archives, and extracting files from archives
- Optional support for ARJ, ARC, and LZH files though external
programs
- Optional virus scanning support, including Windows-based virus
scanners
*** INSTALLATION ***
Installation with the SETUP program:
If you received WinZip on a disk with the file SETUP.EXE, start
the SETUP program as follows: insert the WinZip distribution disk
in your floppy drive. From the Windows Program manager choose Run
from the File menu, type a:\setup, and press the enter key.
Installation without the SETUP program:
WinZip is distributed on BBS systems without a SETUP program for
faster downloads. If you received WinZip without the file
SETUP.EXE, follow this easy one-time installation procedure:
1) Create a directory to hold the WinZip related files. The
recommended directory name (used in the following instructions) is
"C:\WINZIP".
2) Copy all WinZip-related files to this directory. At a minimum
you need the following files: WINZIP.EXE, WZ.DLL, WZ.COM, WZ.PIF,
and WINZIP.HLP.
3) Double click on C:\WINZIP\WINZIP.EXE in the File Manager.
That's all there is installing WinZip. When WinZip is activated
for the first time, a few one-time only dialog boxes are
displayed.
Remember that while WinZip is active, online help is always
available by pressing the F1 key.
>>> New Users: Please see the section titled <<<
>>> "Brief Tutorial" in the online help. <<<

This program requires Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. Some
