General Information:

Windows UnArchive is a program which is used to extract and decompress
files from ZIP and ARJ format archives.  It takes the place of both
command-line DOS unarchivers and Windows-based front ends for those utilities.

Windows UnArchive is the succesor to Windows Unzip, which is now discontinued.
Those with registered copies of Windows Unzip can still receive phone, mail, and
e-mail support, and an inexpensive upgrade option is to Windows UnArchive is
available.

Features and improvements over Windows Unzip include:

      * 60% - 90% faster exploding than Windows Unzip
      * Support for the ARJ archive format
      * Ability to run a member file using its assocciation
      * A new "Try Out" feature, perfect for trying downloads
      * Cooperative multitasking while unarchiving

To use Windows UnArchive you must have MS-Windows 3.0 or greater and you must run
Windows in Standard or Enhanced Mode.  Windows UnArchive will not operate in Real
Mode.

To try Windows UnArchive, place the files WUNA.EXE and WUNA.HLP together in your
windows directory, or some other directory in your DOS search path.  Put the file
BWCC.DLL in the system subdirectory of your windows directory.  (You may already
have this file from other programs.  If so, you only need one copy.  Keep the copy
with the latest date.)  You can then run WUNA.EXE from Program Manager, File
Manager, or any other shell.  If you don't know how to use File Manager, or set up
a program in Program manager, please refer to your Windows manual.

Rather than explain how to use Windows UnArchive in this document, I have put all
instructions in the help file, WUNA.HLP.  To view this file you can click the Help
button in Windows UnArchive or run the command-line: "winhelp.exe [path]wuna.hlp"
from Program Manager or File Manager.  (Look for the Run command under the File
menu in either program.)  If you have used Windows for any length of time at all,
and know about ZIP or ARJ files, you should find Windows UnArchive simple to use
with minimal use of the help file.  Even if you are an experienced Windows user,
please read the command-line section of the help file for some information on
using Windows UnArchive with File Manager.
