                          Info-ZIP's   Unzip   Program
                        --------------------------------


        ASCIIArt uses Info-ZIP's Unzip program to allow "compression"
        of it's files.  Compressing the files makes the files smaller,
        which also makes transfers across a modem-link much faster.

        Info-ZIP's Unzip program has been made freely available, unlike
        certain other ZIP software, meaning that I can provide a fully
        automated installation script, since I know that Unzip is around,
        and don't have to rely on users find an Unzipper, and do the job
        themselves.  I've tried to the distribution package for ASCIIArt
        as small as possible, and therefore haven't included the manuals
        for Unzip, or any of the other programs in the Info-ZIP suite.

        However, Info-ZIP's software and documentation is freely available
        as either source or executables from almost all major Bulletin
        Board Services (BBSs) and anonymous-FTP sites (on Internet),
        including CompuServe's IBMPRO forum at ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/*
        Please contact me at the address specified in the main manual if
        you have any trouble obtaining Info-ZIP's software, and I'll point
        you in the right direction.
