See the file README.TXT for installation instructions.

The following changes were made in the WinZip 5.5

* WinZip's unique Install/Uninstall feature makes it easy to
  install and uninstall software distributed in ZIP files.  WinZip
  will run the installation program in an archive, give you a
  chance to try the program, and optionally offer to restore your
  system to its original state.  The uninstall step can
  selectively remove files, icons, or program groups created by an
  install program, and can restore any altered INI files.  You
  have complete control over the uninstall process, and no changes
  are made without approval.

  Unless you keep every program you install from a ZIP file, the
  Install/Uninstall feature will almost certainly save you
  megabytes of disk space and lots of time.  It can keep your
  system from getting bogged down by extra unneeded files and
  fonts installed by applications you decide to delete.  Windows
  application installation programs typically copy components into
  various directories, copy VBX and DLL files into your Windows
  directory, add entries to Windows initialization files, and
  create program groups and icons.  It is almost impossible to
  keep track of all these changes manually.  Undoing these changes
  is time consuming and complicated, and it is easy to miss files.
  WinZip's Install/Uninstall feature handles this chore
  automatically with an easy to use point-and-click interface.

* The Move/Copy/Rename/Delete archive management facilities make
  it easy to keep your download directory clean:  after trying the
  software in a ZIP you can move it to a floppy disk, move it to
  your upload directory, or delete it without leaving WinZip.

* The new File Manager Extension adds a WinZip pull-down menu
  entry to the Windows File Manager for quick access.  You can
  optionally have the File Manager automatically start WinZip when
  the File Manager is started and close WinZip when the File
  Manager is closed, so WinZip is always available for drag and
  drop operations.

* With "Smart DOC Handling" turned on, plain text .DOC files are
  viewed with a text editor and .DOC files created by word
  processors with the appropriate word processor.

* The "Reuse WinZip Windows" option prevents your screen from
  being cluttered with multiple WinZip windows when you open
  multiple archives by double clicking in the File Manager.
  Instead of opening an additional WinZip window an existing
  WinZip window is reused to display the selected archive.

* CheckOut dialog box:  icons are created for all files with
  associations if the "create icons for programs and documents
  only" checkbox is selected.  Also, an extra warning dialog box
  is displayed before CheckOut deletes any existing files or
  program groups.

* Extract dialog box:  added Create Dir button because so many
  people did not realize they could just type the name of a
  directory

* Overwrite dialog box:  added file sizes and date/time stamps

* Directories dialog box:  added Temp Directory edit field to
  specify where temporary files are created.  This overrides the
  TEMP= DOS environment variable.

* Select All/Deselect All menu entries moved to the Actions menu

* Default parameters for SCAN.EXE do not include /a which is
  illegal with the new SCAN 2.0

* The WinZip installation procedure creates a "WinZip" group
  instead of adding a WinZip icon to the "Accessories" group.  The
  "WinZip" group includes an "Uninstall WinZip" icon.

* The default Action in the Add and Drop dialog boxes is reset to
  "Add" when an archive is opened.

* The Mail Archive menu entry was officially added to the File
  menu (it was available as an undocumented feature in WinZip
  5.0b).  This menu entry exists only on systems with MAPI.DLL
  installed.

* No attempt is made to delete any directory if any of its files
  are in use or any files in the directory are open.

* File Manager Association Icons are displayed next to each file
  listed in the main WinZip window so you can easily tell whether
  a file is executable or has an association.

* If System Compatibility Corporation's "Outside In" file viewer
  is detected it will be used as your "Default Association" in the
  Program Locations dialog box.

* Added Set Installation Defaults to the Options pull-down menu to
  set options to original installation defaults

* Miscellaneous documentation improvements, including a revised
  "Brief Tutorial", the "Step by Step Examples", and separate help
  panels for New Archive, Open Archive, View Dialog Box, and
  Built-in Viewer.
