- Suggested Description
-
- Do you need to send files to end users who may not have an unzip
- utility? If so, try WinZip Self-Extractor, an optional add-on for
- WinZip. WinZip Self-Extractor creates native Windows self-extracting
- ZIP files. End users without an unzip program can just double click on
- a self-extracting ZIP file to unzip it with a familiar Windows
- interface. A self-extracting ZIP file is an executable program that
- includes your ZIP file and a small unzip program (less than 12 kb) that
- will extract the contents of the ZIP file. Because no separate unzip
- program is needed, self-extracting ZIP files are ideal for sending
- software, documents, or graphic images to colleagues or clients who may
- be unfamiliar with data compression.
-
- New features in version 2.0 include:
-
- * Options to create self-extracting ZIP files with new headers:
- * 32-bit Win32 headers
- * 16-bit Windows headers with Windows 95 long filename support
- * MS-DOS support (one EXE works on either MS-DOS or Windows)
- * Improved automation and customization for software installation,
- such as the ability to specify an icon and text for the main dialog
- box, and to delete temporary files after running a setup program.
- Includes support for Sterling Software's InstallShield SETUP program.
- * All versions can be created with English or German messages.
- * A Wizard to simplify the process of building self-extracting files.
-
