│ What Is ZIP'R Pro? │
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
ZIP'R (pronounced "zipper") Pro is a hard drive utility designed to
automatically decompress an entire program before it is executed, launch the
program, and compress it after it is exited, all accomplished within the
Windows environment. This process saves valuable hard drive space by storing
programs in compressed form when they are not in use. ZIP'R Pro even achieves
a substantial amount of compression on hard drives that already use an on-the-
fly compression program, such as Stacker, SuperStor, or DoubleSpace! ZIP'R
Pro can use an existing compression program such as PKZIP / PKUNZIP, ARJ, or
LHA, or it can use internal compression routines that are compatible with
PKZIP 2.0!

│ Quick-Start Instructions: │
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
To get ZIP'R Pro up and running in a hurry, follow these Quick-Start
instructions:
1. Run the Install program by typing "INSTALL" at a DOS prompt. Follow the
instructions that are given. (Note to OS/2 users only: When installing
ZIP'R Pro from a floppy diskette, make sure that the floppy diskette is
not write-protected, or the install process could report errors. There
appears to be a conflict in this area (only under OS/2), and we are
currently working on resolving it.)
2. Reboot your machine to ensure that any changes made by the Install program
to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file have taken effect.
3. Create a new icon for ZIP'R Pro within Program Manager, and execute ZIP'R
Pro (ZPROWIN.EXE). Select File, New, and create a new .ZPW file.
4. Once you have created a .ZPW file, it will appear within the ZIP'R Pro
window. Double-click on the icon to run the program. When you exit the
program, ZIP'R Pro will automatically compress it.

│ Registration: │
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
ZIP'R Pro is distributed under the shareware concept. You may try ZIP'R Pro
for a period of two weeks. After this period, you must either discontinue
using it, or register it. A single-user license is only $49.95 (+$5.00 S&H in
the U.S., or $12.50 S&H on Foreign Orders). This price includes a printed
manual, 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" diskettes, along with a Registration Name and Number
allowing you to register your copy of ZIP'R Pro.

To receive a temporary registration number over the telephone, call STSI at
(218) 924-2050, and charge it to your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or
Discover credit card. Upon request, you will receive a temporary registration
name and number over the telephone that can be used until you receive your
actual registration package in the mail. This will allow the modification
and/or removal of the prelog delay time, along with any nag screens.
For further registration information and pricing, please read the REGISTER.DOC
file included with ZIP'R Pro.
*** Special Bonus ***
When you become a registered user, you are eligible to receive a special
bonus. In order to promote ZIP'R Pro, we will send you a $5.00 check and the
latest version of ZIP'R Pro on diskette for EACH person or organization that
registers ZIP'R Pro and tells us that they heard about it from YOU. If you
convince 4 people to register ZIP'R Pro, we will send you a check for $20.00!
The more people that register because of you, the more money you can earn!
