OVERVIEW
------------
PKZIP Command Line provides a powerful command line
interface for compressing, extracting, and managing your
compressed data files. PKZIP Command Line is the latest
version of the popular data compression program from
PKWARE, Inc. PKZIP is a powerful utility that provides
many functions for data compression, file archival,
management, and distribution. PKZIP has led the way in
industry standard .ZIP format compression since 1989,
when PKWARE introduced the .ZIP file format.
------------
INSTALLATION
------------
PKZIP Command Line is installed using the Microsoft Windows
Installer. This installation process makes installing
and configuring PKZIP Command Line easy and avoids common
conflicts that can arise when installing new software.
If you have purchased a REGISTERED copy of this software, it is
distributed either on CD-ROM or as an electronic delivery file
available for downloading from the Internet. If you have a
SHAREWARE copy of this software, it will be distributed using
a PKSFX(R) self-extracting file.
Installing from CD-ROM:
If you are installing from CD-ROM, simply insert the CD into
your drive. The Autorun feature will automatically start the
setup program. If the Autorun feature is not enabled on your
system, you can run SETUP.EXE directly from the CD. After the
setup program has started, follow the instructions provided
on-screen to complete the installation.
Installing from a PKSFX file:
If you are installing a version of the software downloaded from
the Internet (i.e. either a REGISTERED version purchased
online, or a SHAREWARE copy downloaded from an Internet site such
as www.pkware.com) you will receive a PKSFX self-extracting file.
The Windows Installer is packaged inside the PKSFX file.
Run the PKSFX file to start the installation. It will extract
the files needed to install the software and it will automatically
start the setup program. Follow the instructions provided by
the setup program to complete the installation.
When you run the PKSFX file, the files it contains are extracted
to an intermediate folder and the installation continues from
this location. Once PKZIP Command Line is installed and working
properly on your system, you may delete this intermediate folder
to free up disk space. If you delete this intermediate folder
but later want to reinstall the product, you will need to re-run
the PKSFX file.
We encourage you to make a backup of your PKSFX file, or of the
contents of the intermediate folder to ensure you will be able
to reinstall this product if you ever need to in the future.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
PKZIP Command Line is intended for use on Microsoft Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 systems.
If you plan to use the Digital Signature feature available with
PKZIP Command Line on systems running Windows 95 or NT 4.0 systems,
you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater. PKZIP
utilizes several system (e.g. security) files installed in
conjunction with Internet Explorer. Therefore, Internet Explorer
(version 4.0 or greater) must reside on your system prior to
installing PKZIP Command Line.
You must also obtain and install a valid Digital Certificate onto
your system prior to using the Digitial Signature feature of
PKZIP Command Line. Visit PKWARE's website for information
on where you can get a Digital Certificate.
