- ZIP SHELL FOR WINDOWS AND DOS
- =============================
-
-
- PKZip and PKUnzip from PKWare are now the industry standard for
- lossless compression of files. They have a host of features, and even
- support the addition of descriptions to compressed files. However,
- they are also command driven, which makes them difficult to use for
- non experts. In addition, there is no way to add or extract 4Dos file
- descriptions.
-
- There are other shells for PKZip & PKUnzip on the market. Some of them
- are undoubtedly quite good. But what I wanted was a program that would
- let you tag files to add to a ZIP file, and then add them along with
- their 4Dos file descriptions. In the same way I wanted to be able to
- tag the files in ZIP file, and extract them along with their 4DOS file
- descriptions. I also wanted to be able to see the descriptions along
- with the files. None of the available shells I looked at would do
- this.
-
- In 1989 I wrote the first version of ZIP.EXE to do this in a DOS
- environment. When I moved to Windows 3.0, I became fed up with having
- to open a DOS window to go and zip or unzip files. Finally I got
- around to writing a Windows equivalent that could be launched from
- program manager - ZIPW.EXE.
-
- Both these programs serve the same function that of adding files to
- and extracting files from a ZIP file, while automating the add/extract
- of the associated 4DOS descriptions. Of the two, ZIPW is more
- sophisticated, using as it does the Multiple Document Interface to
- permit you to work on more than one ZIP file at a time. One of these
- days I will get around to rewriting the Dos version to provide similar
- features.
-
- Until then, ZIPW is V2.0, while ZIP is only V1.2. Both support the new
- V2.04g of PKZip and PKUnzip which is the latest version at time of
- writing.

- should be created. You can later move the icons to another
- group if you desire.

- follow the DOS installation instructions to install PKZip &
- PKUnzip on your disk.
-
- If all you received was the file ZIPW20.ZIP or ZIPW20.EXE,
- then all the files have been archived into this file. In this
- case you need to extract all the files to either your hard
- disk or your floppy disk before you can run SETUP:
-
- From DOS, copy the file to yor hard disk and extract the files
-
- for .ZIP type in PKUNZIP -E ZIPW20
-
- for .EXE type in ZIPW20
-
- Then run SETUP from program manager as described above
-
