- WinZip brings the convenience of Windows to the use of Zip files and
- other compression formats. Windows 95, NT, and Windows 3.1 versions are
- shipped on the same disk. WinZip features include:
-
- Windows 95 support: WinZip includes long filename support and tight
- integration with the Windows 95 shell. Drag and drop to or from the
- Explorer, or zip and unzip without leaving the Explorer.
-
- Internet support: WinZip features built-in support for popular Internet
- file formats: TAR, gzip, and Unix compress. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files
- are supported via external programs. WinZip interfaces to most virus
- scanners.
-
- The WinZip Wizard: this optional feature uses the standard and
- familiar "wizard" interface to simplify the process of unzipping and
- installing software distributed in Zip files. The WinZip Wizard is not
- targeted at experienced users, but is ideal for the rapidly growing
- number of PC users getting started with Zip files. When these users
- gain confidence or want to use more advanced zipping features, the full
- WinZip Classic interface is just a click away.
