--------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to PKZIP Version 2.50 for OS/2!
New features available in this release
--------------------------------------
* 2.04g Compatible Compression
PKZIP for OS/2 can compress or extract .ZIP files
by using the popular 2.04g compression method.
* OS/2 Self-Extracting Archives
Create OS/2 self-extracting archives. This feature allows
for creation of archives that do not need PKZIP for OS/2
to extract the files from the archive. The extraction code
is build into the archive file.
* Spanning
Create spanned .ZIP files. A spanned file is a .ZIP file
that resides on more than one floppy disk or other removable
media.
* Extended Attribute (EA) Information
Retain and restore extended attribute information.
* New Command line
The new command set will make it easier for new users to
understand, and for experienced users to customize through
the use of more configurable parameters. Help is available
for all options and commands.
* Configuration
PKZIP for OS/2 can be configured for individual needs.
* HPFS Long Filename Support
PKZIP for OS/2 can retain and restore OS/2 HPFS Long File
Names.
* Single Executable
Compressing, extracting, fixing corrupt .ZIP files and creating
self-extracting files all use the same executable. A separate
executable is not needed for each different operation.
* One Step Creation of Self-Extracting Archives
Self-extracting files can be directly created without having
to first create a .ZIP file.
