- Several new features have been added to PKZIP/PKUNZIP/PKSFX
- version 2.04g. Read the file ADDENDUM.DOC for a complete
- description of these changes and enhancements. Highlights
- of PKZIP/PKUNZIP/PKSFX etc. version 2.04g include:
-
- -Improved Compression
-
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g implements a new compression algorithm
- called Deflating. Deflating has varying levels of compression
- and speed available. Both speed and compression are greatly
- improved over previous versions of PKZIP.
-
- -Multi-Volume Archive Support/Formatting
-
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g has the ability to "span" a .ZIP file across
- multiple diskettes if the final .ZIP file size would be greater
- than a single diskette. PKZIP 2.04g also has the ability to
- format the destination diskettes on the fly.
-
- -XMS/EMS Usage
-
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g has the ability to use of EMS, UMB, and HMA
- memory, which will allow the ability to process more files or be
- able to run with less conventional memory. PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04
- will run in as little as 85K of conventional memory if EMS or
- XMS memory is available.
-
- -Novell Network Aware
-
- PKZIP 2.04g is Novell Netware "aware". Updating or creating
- a .ZIP file on a network drive is much faster with the network
- support in PKZIP 2.04g.
-
- -Auto CPU type detection.
-
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g will detect what type of CPU it is being run
- on and will use instructions specifcally optimized for an 808x
- CPU, 80386 CPU, or 80486 CPU.
-
- -DPMI support
-
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g automatically detects if DPMI (DOS Protected
- Mode Interface) support is available and will execute code in
- 32-bit protected mode for better speed.
-
- -PKCFG program
-
- PKZIP 2.04g can be configured to best suit your needs through
- the use of the PKCFG program. This is only available in the
- registered version of PKZIP.
-
- -PKSFX Junior and PKUNZIP Junior
-
- These "Junior" programs use very little memory and are extremely
- small. Although they are reduced in ability, their small size
- makes them very useful.
-
- -Password Encryption
-
- Sensitive data files can be scrambled with password protection.
- The security of this feature has been significantly improved in
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g.
-
- -Authenticy Verification
-
- Users requiring authentication of archive files may request an
- Authenticy Verification code. This allows users to create .ZIP
- files which PKUNZIP can detect tampering of.
