WinZip is distributed as Shareware. This means that users are
encouraged, subject to restrictions described in the License Agreement,
to share copies of this program with friends, associates and bulletin
boards. Please remember that if you use this software you are required
to pay the registration fee of $29 as described in the section titled
Copyright/License Agreement/Warranty.
* Overview
ZIP files contain other files. Typically the files in a ZIP file are
compressed. ZIP files make it easy to group files and makes
transporting and copying these files faster. ARC files perform the same
function as ZIP files, but use a different file format. When the term
"ZIP file" is used in WinZip documentation, it usually also refers to
ARC files. See the section titled ARC File Notes in the online
documentation for more information.
WinZip(TM) is a ZIP shell for Windows. It provides an easy-to-use
SAA/CUA compliant interface for quickly adding, deleting, extracting,
viewing, and running files in a ZIP file. WinZip also supports ARC
files and self-extracting ZIP files. It includes a CheckOut feature
that makes it easy to examine and/or run files in a ZIP file. An
optional interface to virus scanning software is provided. The program
is easy to install, and extensive online help is always available. All
options (including screen size and position) can be saved and restored.
The main WinZip window includes a list of files in the open ZIP file.
This list can be scrolled and sorted by name, extension, date, or size.
Files can be added, deleted, extracted, or viewed using pull-down menu
entries and push buttons. Double clicking on a file opens the file with
the appropriate application (for example, files with an extension of
.WRI are opened by the Windows Write application).
The CheckOut facility creates a Program Manager group for all files in a
ZIP. This group contains one icon for each file. Double clicking on an
icon runs the appropriate program. If the file is executable, it is
run. Otherwise, the file is opened by the appropriate application for
viewing.
WinZip supports the CUA "object-action process sequence" philosophy.
This allows you to select objects (for example, files you want to
extract or view) and then specify the action you want to perform.
Alternately, you can use WinZip in a more traditional "action-object"
style of interaction.
To start WinZip from the Program Manager, double click on the WinZip
icon. To open an existing ZIP file from the File Manager, simply double
click on the ZIP file.
WinZip requires the Shareware PKZIP/PKUNZIP product from PKWARE, Inc.
It interfaces to one of three programs to access ARC files and
optionally runs the SCAN virus scanner from McAfee Associates. WinZip
runs these programs in the background in Windows Enhanced (80386) mode,
or as full-screen applications in Standard and Real modes. For more
information on this aspect of the program, see the section titled
Enhanced, Standard, and Real modes.
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at P.O. Box 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a
Compuserve message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

* PMZIP - An OS/2 Version of WinZip
PMZIP(TM) is an OS/2 Presentation Manager version of WinZip 1.0. At the
time of this writing PMZIP does not include the new features in WinZip
2.0 (see the section titled Version History for details). However,
PMZIP makes use of some OS/2 features not available under Windows,
including threads for faster execution, and support for the File Manager
drag and drop facility. It also features a file search facility to
locate selected ZIP files anywhere on a disk.
PMZIP has been available as Shareware since January, 1991, for the same
price as WinZip. Orders for WinZip placed in 1991 will include a free
registered copy of the latest version of PMZIP. Similarly, orders for
PMZIP placed in 1991 will include a free registered version of the
latest version of WinZip.
The shareware version of PMZIP can be downloaded from the IBMOS2 forum
on CompuServe, the IBM.OS2 conference on BIX, and many OS/2 bulletin
board systems.

* Installation and System Requirements
System Requirements:
- Windows 3.0 or later.
- The PKWARE, Inc. PKZIP(TM) and PKUNZIP(TM) Shareware programs. You
can download these programs from most bulletin boards (the latest
version is distributed in the self-extracting ZIP file PKZ110.EXE), or
order them directly from PKWARE (phone 414-352- 3670).
- To access ARC files one of the following programs is required:
ARCE.COM and ARC-E.COM - Vern Berg's ARC extraction utility, available
on CompuServe and other bulletin boards.
PKXARC.COM version 3.5 from PKWARE, Inc. This program is still
available on some bulletin boards.
ARC.EXE version 5.20 or 6.0 from System Enhancement Associates, Inc.
This is last version of ARC available as Shareware, and is still
available on some bulletin boards. SEA's address is 925 Clifton Ave.,
Clifton, NJ 07013.
Note: you are likely to encounter problems with earlier versions of
these programs.
- You can run the McAfee Associates SCAN.EXE virus scanning utility from
within WinZip. SCAN is available from CompuServe, BIX, and other
bulletin boards. McAfee Associates address is 4423 Cheeney Street,
Santa Clara, CA 95054.
Note: Like WinZip, the PKZIP, PKUNZIP, ZIP2EXE, ARC, PKXARC, and SCAN
programs are not free software. As with all Shareware, if you use these
programs you should register them with the appropriate vendor.
WinZip-related files are:
- README.1ST introductory information
- WINZIP.DOC extracts from online documentation
- WINZIP.HLP documentation in online hypertext help format
- WINZIP.EXE required executable
- WZ.COM required executable
- WZ.PIF required Program Information File
- ORDER.DOC order form
- VENDOR.DOC information for Shareware Distributors and Disk Vendors
Installation:
Before running WinZip, follow this easy one time installation procedure:
1) If you already have installed a previous version of WinZip, backup
and delete all files in your WinZip directory. Otherwise create a
directory to hold the WinZip related files. For example, "C:\WINZIP".
2) Copy all WinZip-related files to this directory. At a minimum you
need the following files: WINZIP.EXE, WZ.COM, WZ.PIF, and WINZIP.HLP.
3) Run WINZIP.EXE. If Windows is not loaded, issue the WIN command, and
specify the full pathname to WINZIP.EXE. For example, if you copied the
WinZip related files into a directory named C:\WINZIP, you would issue
the following command from the DOS prompt:
WIN C:\WINZIP\WINZIP.EXE
Alternately, if you are already running Windows, simply double click on
the WINZIP.EXE entry in the File Manager. If you are not familiar with
the File Manager, you can instead follow these four steps to run WinZip
for the first time:
a. Activate the Program Manager.
b. Choose Run... from the File menu. The Run dialog box appears.
c. Type the full filename of WINZIP.EXE in the Command Line text box.
For example, C:\WINZIP\WINZIP.EXE
d. Choose OK.
That's all there is installing WinZip. When WinZip is activated for the
first time, the Welcome and Configuration dialog boxes are automatically
displayed, and you are ready to go. Remember that while WinZip is
active, online help is always available by pressing F1.
Notes:
1) The first time WinZip is run, it will offer to add a WinZip icon to
your Program Manager Accessories Group. Choose Yes in response to this
question unless you want to add the icon yourself (the Accessories Group
is merely a default location for the icon - you can drag it to any other
group like any other Program Manager icon). Once this is done, you can
start WinZip by double clicking on the WinZip icon the Program Manager.
Alternately, you can open an existing ZIP file from the File Manager by
double clicking on the file.
2) WIN.INI associations for files with an extension of "ZIP" and "ZIP"
are set up by the automatic installation procedure so that you can start
WinZip by double clicking on the icons for these files while running the
File Manager. Also, if you there is no association for .HLP files,
WinZip sets one up to let you view .HLP files by double clicking on
them.
