- 2 Disclaimer
-
-
- New-Ware hereby disclaims all warranties relating to this product,
- whether express or implied, including without limitation any implied
- warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. New-
- Ware cannot and will not be liable for any special, incidental,
- consequential, indirect or similar damages due to loss of data or any
- other reason, even if New-Ware or an authorized New-Ware agent has been
- advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall the
- liability for any damages ever exceed the price paid for the license to
- use software, regardless of the form and/or extent of the claim. The
- user of this program bears all risk as to the quality and performance of
- the software.
-
-
- 3 User License
-
-
- ZipMaster for Windows, hereafter referred to as ZMW, is distributed
- as Shareware product. As such, it is made available to the general
- computing public for personal evaluation. Individual users and
- corporate representatives are licensed to operate ZipMaster on their
- personal computers for the purpose of test and evaluation on a trial
- basis for a limited trial period. It is not possible to reasonably
- define any definitive limits of a fair and equitable time period for
- evaluation, therefore it is left to the user's judgment and sense of
- fair play as to the time required to make a decision as to its
- usefulness. If the user decides the program is not of sufficient merit
- to warrant purchase through registration with New-Ware, the program
- should be removed from their personal computer. Otherwise, if the
-
-
-
- - 2 -
-
-
-
- program is deemed useful and is in regular use on the user's personal
- computer system, registration with New-Ware is required.
-
- Registered users are those users that use the product on a regular
- basis and honor the rights of New-Ware by paying for ZipMaster and
- register that payment with New-Ware. By virtue of registration and
- payment for the program, registered users are granted a license to
- continue to utilize the program on their personal computer for as long
- as they choose. This license authorizes the user to use the program on
- any personal computer system he or she may own so long as the program is
- operated on only one computer system at a time.
-
-
- 4 ZMW Shareware Version Distribution
-
-
- ZMW is sole property of New-Ware Shareware products. The Shareware
- version, and ONLY that version, may be freely copied and transferred to
- individual parties for evaluation purposes. The Shareware version, and
- ONLY that version, may be posted on Bulletin Board systems (BBS) for
- electronic access as long as NO FEE is charged for its distribution
- except for private BBS operations that charge a regular user
- subscription fee. Computer information services such as
- Compuserve(CIS), Genie, etc., are authorized to post this product for
- subscriber access. The Shareware version of ZipMaster may NOT be
- distributed on diskette by any disk distributor/vendor that charges more
- than $7.00 for the diskette upon which the program and attendant files
- are recorded without written consent from New-Ware. This does NOT apply
- if the Shareware version of ZMW is distributed on a CD-ROM disk.
-
- ZMW is a fully functional Shareware product. Shareware is a
- computer program distribution/marketing method that permits potential
- buyers to thoroughly try the program prior to purchase. It is NOT free
- and it is not in the Public Domain. If, after evaluating the program,
- you find it to be useful enough to use it on a regular basis, you are
- expected to pay for it by registering with New-Ware. The registration
- fee is $25.00 and the registered version, which is NOT distributed as
- Shareware, will not contain the opening Shareware license screen.
-
- The Shareware distribution of ZMW includes a Shareware license
- window which always precedes the main ZMW window at run-time. Just
- click on the "Order" button in this screen to invoke a simple
- registration form which may be filled out, printed and mailed to New-
- Ware.

-
-
-
- 7 Prohibition
-
-
- CD-ROM disk publishers, distributors, vendors, et al are ABSOLUTELY
- PROHIBITED from using ZipMaster (Shareware or registered version) as a
- means of accessing the files on a CD-ROM. In plainer words, develop
- your own file retrieval systems and DO NOT use this program as such! To
- do so will be in violation of New-Ware's registered copyright.
-
-
- 8 Running ZMW
-
-
- ZMW is simple to run. Place the following files in the directory
- of your choice (\ZMW is suggested):
-
- ZMW.EXE
- ZMW.HLP
- ZMW.INI
- NEW_WARE.FON
-
- Start Windows and select "Run..." from the Program Manager "File" pull-
- down menu. Type in the full pathname of the ZMW program file. For
- example, C:\ZMW\ZMW.EXE. Press the <Enter> key to execute ZMW. The
- NEW_WARE.FON file is not strictly necessary but it is a highly readable
- 9 point fixed font that works well in file list boxes.
-
-
- 9 Installing ZMW
-
-
- To more permanently install ZMW, select the group window in the
- Program Manager in which you wish to install ZMW. Pull down the Program
- Manager "File" menu and select the "New" item. Select the "Program
- Item" radio button and click on the "Ok" button. Fill out the Program
- Item Properties dialog as desired and press the "Ok" button when
- complete. The four files listed above must be in the same directory
- from which ZMW is executed.
-
-
- 10 The ZMW.INI File
-
-
- ZMW may be customized by editing the ZMW.INI file. The supplied
- file contains numerous explanatory comments, but here is one example.
- Suppose you prefer to use your own Windows file browser instead of the
- internal ZMW browser (LI.EXE is an excellent full-featured browser).
- Enter the following line in the ZMW.INI file under the [GeneralDefaults]
- category:
-
-
-
-
- - 5 -
-
-
-
- FileBrowse=D:\MYUTIL\LI.EXE
-
- Note the full path name that points to the desired file browser. If the
- full DOS path name is valid, ZMW will call your specified file browser
- to view/browse text files.
-
- It is easy to edit and maintain your ZMW.INI file because ZMW
- contains a built in INI file editor that can be accessed from the main
- ZMW menu.
-
-
- 11 ZMW Performance
-
-
- ZMW does not match the compression speed of the world famous PkWare
- Zip system. Nobody is as good as Phil Katz at optimizing compression
- code for speed and efficiency! Compressed file size will vary according
- to the compression method used and the contents of the included files.
- While ZMW comes very close to PKZIP in some cases, it does not match it
- in the majority of cases.
-
- The compression speed disparity becomes less important when one
- compares the ZMW progress window and ease of use to the PKZIP command
- line, DOS box only environment. And in these days of Stacker and large
- hard disks, most users don't need the nth degree of compression. ZMW
- provides a very user-friendly, intuitive method for creating and
- managing Zip compressed files.
