- WinZip(R) version 7.0
- Copyright (C) 1991-1998 Nico Mak Computing, Inc.
- All Rights Reserved
-
- The main new features in WinZip 7.0 are:
-
- - Support for Microsoft's CAB (cabinet) format, including most self-
- extracting CAB files.
-
- - Sizable, sortable, and selectable columns in the main window. The
- optional attribute and CRC columns are new. Columns can be resized
- with the mouse, and turned off from the Configuration | View dialog
- box. Just click on a column header to sort.
-
- - A configurable toolbar with 21 toolbar buttons. (Note: toolbar
- configuration requires version 4.71 or later of the Windows Common
- Control library. This library is part of Windows 98, Microsoft
- Internet Explorer 4.0, and is available as a separate download from
- http://www.winzip.com/common_control_library.cgi.)
-
- - Optional support for the Internet Explorer 4.0-style "one click open"
- interface. If this option is enabled in Internet Explorer 4.0 Active
- Desktop, it will be enabled in WinZip automatically. Otherwise, you
- can turn it on using the Configuration | View dialog box.
-
- - A print facility to print the information listed in the main WinZip
- window.
-
- - Improved configuration using a tabbed dialog box.
-
- - Zip comment support.
-
- - Improvements to the Install Feature.
-
- - Optional Tip of the Day dialog box.
-
- - WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition (included with WinZip) now
- creates Zip files that span multiple removable disks.
-
- - Command line support for zipping and unzipping is available as an
- optional add-on from the web page http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.cgi.
-
- Other changes include:
-
- - WinZip now uses the registry instead of winzip32.ini. The first time
- you run this version, it will copy all the ini entries to the
- registry, and from then on will use the registry. The registry key
- used is HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Nico Mak Computing/WinZip.
-
- - Message boxes now have a help button instead of the "Please press F1
- for help" text.
-
- - Wizard has a Help button.
-
- - Replaced Actions->Deselect All with Actions->Invert Selection.
-
- - Non-standard accelerators now use Shift+key instead of Ctrl+key.
-
- - Added ARJ 2.60 long filename support (due to limitations in ARJ 2.60,
- this feature is not available under Windows NT).
-
- - Status bar and main window now use the same fonts as the Explorer (to
- change the font used in the main WinZip window and the Explorer, open
- Start->Settings->Control Panel->Display, then select "Icon" as the
- item in the "Appearances" tab, then change the Font and/or Size
- controls).
-
- - Added "System Info" button to About box. If you encounter WinZip
- related problems that you believe are system or configuration
- dependent, please click this button, then click the "Clipboard Copy"
- button, and paste the results into an e-mail describing the problem.
-
- - If you select the "move" operation in the "Add" or "Drop" dialog
- boxes, WinZip will put files into the recycle bin instead of deleting
- them (you can override this behavior via the Configuration | Misc
- dialog box).
-
- - Added "File Properties" dialog, available by right clicking on a file
- in the zip, then selecting Properties. This dialog box is useful if
- you are not displaying all the columns and want info on a column that
- is not displayed. Note that unless the "Full row select" option in
- the Configuration | View dialog box is checked, if you right click in
- the list of files but not on the filename, the Properties dialog box
- displays information about the archive.
