-
- *** Installation:
-
- Follow these steps for an easy installation:
-
- 1) If you already have installed a previous version of PMZIP, delete all
- files in your PMZIP directory. Otherwise create a directory to hold the
- PMZIP related files. For example, "C:\PMZIP".
-
- 2) Copy all PMZIP-related files to this directory. At a minimum you
- need the following files: PMZIP.EXE, PMZIP.HLP, and PMZIP.DLL. Note:
- there is no need to include the directory containing PMZIP related files
- in your LIBPATH= or HELP= paths.
-
- 3) Run PMZIP.EXE, either by double clicking on PMZIP.EXE in the File
- Manager or by entering PMZIP at the the OS/2 system prompt. The first
- time you run PMZIP it will bring up the Install dialog box to complete
- the installation.
-
- Optional installation steps:
-
- a) Add the directory created in step one to your PATH. If you don't add
- the directory to your path, you'll need to type the directory name when
- you start PMZIP from the command line (for example, you'll have to type
- "C:\PMZIP\PMZIP" rather than just "PMZIP").
-
- b) Add the statement "PMZIP /ICON" to your STARTUP.CMD file. This will
- automatically start PMZIP as an icon whenever you boot OS/2, and
- facilitates use of the File Manager's Drag and Drop Interface.
-
- *** Starting PMZIP
-
- After you've installed PMZIP, the most common ways to start the program
- are:
-
- 1) To open an existing ZIP file from the File Manager, double click on
- the ZIP file.
-
- 2) To add files to an existing ZIP file, select one or more files in the
- File Manager, hold down mouse button two, drag the file(s) over a PMZIP
- window or icon, and release the mouse button. NOTE: you should drop
- files over a copy of PMZIP that is running, not over an icon in a
- Desktop Manager Program Group window.
-
- 3) To add files to a new ZIP file, use the procedure for adding files to
- an existing ZIP file, but be sure to specify the filename in the dialog
- box displayed when you "drop" files onto a running copy of PMZIP.
-
- Alternately, you can start PMZIP by double clicking on the PMZIP icon in
- the "Group - Main" window or from the OS/2 command line by entering the
- PMZIP.EXE command. Similarly you can open new or existing ZIP files
- with the "New" and "Open" entries in the "File" pull-down menu.
