- ABOUT WinUnZip
- --------------
-
- This is a much improved version of WinUnZip from version 1.3. You can now:
- o Set the destination path for file extraction.
- o Use stored directories when extracting files.
- o List the contents of a ZIP file.
- o Selectively extract member files.
- o View member text files.
- o Specify the viewing program.
- o Command line options.
-
- ... All this while maintaining a simple user interface. One of the things
- people told me they liked about the original WinUnZip 1.x was its simplicity.
- I have tried to add requested features while keeping it simple.
-
- USING COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
- --------------------------
-
- WinUnZip [-e -d -q] <zipname>[.zip]
-
- -e extract files, then close.
- -d use stored directories.
- -q quiet operation, works as an icon, then closes.
-
- Specifying only a zip file name will bring up the program with the contents
- of the zip file listed.
-
- Any or all of these command line switches may be used at once.
- NOTE: A list of the command line switches is available in the About box.
-
-
- SELECTIVE EXTRACTION
- --------------------
-
- To selectively extract member files from a zipfile highlight the ones you
- want extracted using standard Window listbox controls.
- Spacebar or left mouse click highlights one file.
- Shift+Down Arrow or Ctrl+Left Click highlights multiple files.
-
- THE MAIN DISPLAY
- ----------------
-
- This is where the ZIP file is listed. In it you will see:
-
- Member file name uncompressed length date time path
-
- When you select menu option File.Extract, the main window will switch to
- show you a list of files being extracted and the method of extraction.
- Upon completion of the operation the view will switch back to the list of
- ZIP contents.
-
-
- TARGET PATHS
- ------------
-
- Just a note about the Options.Target Path command. This is where you designate
- where you want to extract the ZIP contents to. When the program is first
- brought up this dialog box will contain the path from which the program was
- launched. You can specify the target path and it will retain this setting
- for the duration of the session. Loading a file from another sub directory
- will not change your desired target path setting.
-
- NOTE: At this time you cannot specify a path on the command line either for
- the ZIP file or for the destination.
-
- INI FILE
- --------
-
- A file called WINUNZIP.INI is created in the Windows directory to store:
- 1) The name of your file viewer (defaults to NOTEPAD.EXE if blank).
- 2) The use of stored sub directories in the ZIP file.
-
- MENU OPTIONS
- ------------
-
- File
- Open Use the combo box to select a zip file.
- Close Close the current zip file.
- Extract Extract highlighted files.
- View View the currently highlighted file.
-
- Options
- Target Path Dialog box allows entry of target path.
- Viewer Command Dialog box allows specifying of a file viewer.
- Use Dirs stored in Zip Toggle checkmark on menu.
-
- Help
- About A reminder of command line options, and the
- fine person who wrote this program.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- It's a snap! Simply copy the winunzip.exe to the desired sub directory.
- The program will generate its own winunzip.ini file in the Windows sub
- directory the first time it's run.
-
- If you copy the program to a sub directory that is not on your DOS path,
- then be sure you specify the full path name and file name when you call
- winunzip from another program. You'll also need to specify the full path
- under the Extensions section of your win.ini file.
-
- REGISTRATION
- ------------
-
- This version of WinUnZip is not free. Much time has been spent on the
- version 2 features and I hope you will support my efforts (and those of
- other shareware authors). The registration fee is a modest $10.00 per
- single PC or workstation. Send payment to:
