Have you ever used a BBS or CompuServe?  If so, you've probably
encountered ZIP files.  Are you a Windows user?  If so, WinZip is
THE way to handle these archived files.

WinZip brings the convenience of Windows to the use of ZIP files
without requiring PKZIP and PKUNZIP.  It features an intuitive
point-and-click drag-and-drop interface for viewing, running,
extracting, adding, deleting, and testing files in archives.  ARJ,
LZH, and ARC files are supported via external programs.  WinZip
interfaces to most virus scanners.

Here's what the magazine reviews say about WinZip:

One of the "20 Must-Have Windows Utilities", Windows User, 6/93
"Archive Manager Extraordinaire", Windows Sources, 5/93

   archiving a simple task for Windows users", Windows User 5/93

   an excellent Shareware utility" Windows Magazine, 12/92

WinZip is extremely easy to use!  To open an archive simply double
click on an archive listed in the File Manager, drag and drop an
archive onto WinZip, or use the standard Open dialog.  The main
WinZip window features a list box with the names, sizes, and
date/time stamps of all files in the open archive.  This list can
be scrolled and sorted on any field.  A tool bar provides fast
access to commonly used actions.  All options (including window
size and position) can be saved and restored.  Extensive context
sensitive help is always available.

Double clicking on a file in the main window has the same effect
as double clicking in the File Manager.  First the file is
extracted from the archive.  If the file is executable, it is run.
Otherwise, the file is opened by the appropriate application (for
example, Windows Write for *.WRI files) based on standard Windows
associations.

The Windows 3.1 Drag and Drop Interface is fully supported.  You
can drag and drop files from WinZip to other applications.  WinZip
will extract the files before dropping them on the target
application.  The target application will treat the files as if
they had been dropped by the File Manager.  You can also drop
archives on WinZip to open them, or drop files on WinZip to add
them to the open archive.

WinZip's unique CheckOut Facility makes it easy to quickly install
files in archives.  Click on the CheckOut button to extract all
files and create a Program Manager group for all files in the
archive.  This group will contain one icon for each file.  Double
click on an icon to view the corresponding file with the
appropriate application.  WinZip will optionally delete the
CheckOut files and Program Manager group.

WinZip requires Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.  While no
other programs are required for basic operations involving ZIP
files, optional features require one or more external programs,
including PKZIP and PKUNZIP product from PKWARE, Inc, LHA.EXE from
Haruyasu Yoshizaki, or the Shareware ARJ product from Robert Jung.
WinZip interfaces to several programs to access ARC files and
optionally runs most virus scanning utilities.  See the online
help for details.
