This feature runs the install program in a ZIP, gives you a chance to try the program, and OPTIONALLY deletes any new files, icons, program groups, and restores any altered INI files. WinZip includes a powerful yet intuitive point-and-click drag-and-drop interface for viewing, running, extracting, adding, deleting, and testing files in ZIP, LZH, and ARC files, including self extracting archives. Optional virus scanning support is included. Other Information Requirements: Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. No other programs are required for basic ZIP operations. Optional features require external programs, including the shareware PKZIP/PKUNZIP product from PKWARE, Inc. or ARJ from Robert Jung or LHA.EXE from Haruyasu Yoshizaki. WinZip interfaces to several programs to access ARC files and optionally runs most virus scanning utilities, including Windows-based virus scanners.
