Zip Manager Version 2.01 (c)Copyright 1990 Moon Valley Software Inc. (602)375-9502 Voice (602)375-0531 BBS Version 2.01 Update 08-02-90 ============================= NOW 100% COMPATIBLE WITH MS-DOS 4.01! In addition the code has been optimized for faster execution of PKZIP and PKUNZIP. This file contains important installation and trouble shooting information. Please read it carefully. Zip Manager is a complete Windows 3.0 environment for PKZIP and PKUNZIP. It makes working with Zip files a real pleasure. A word of caution is in order. The documentation is contained in the file ZM.HLP which is in Windows 3.0 help format. If you are new to PKZIP,'UNZIP please read the documentation that comes with these programs. This will ensure that you get the maximum functionality from Zip Manager. Please make sure that the following files are present: ZM.EXE -> The Windows 3.0 Executable Program ZM1.EXE -> Zip Manager Parameter Program For PKZIP,'UNZIP ZM.HLP -> On-Line Documentation ZM1.PIF -> Windows Program Info File For ZM1.EXE PKZIP.PIF -> Windows Program Info File For PKZIP.EXE PKUNZIP.PIF -> Windows Program Info File For PKUNZIP.EXE INSTALLATION ------------ Successfully Installing Zip Manager ----------------------------------- You must complete the following steps before running Zip Manager. 1.) Copy the entire contents of this Zip file into your Windows directory. 2.) Check the path statement of your autoexec.bat file. It should resemble the statement below: path=c:\;c:\bin\;c:\utility\;c:\dos\;c:\windows; Although the drive letters and directory names may differ. As long as Windows and the directory containing PKZIP and PKUNZIP are in your path, Zip Manager will function correctly. 3.) The PIF Files: DO NOT MODIFY the PIF files PKZIP.PIF, PKUNZIP.PIF, and ZM1.PIF. Zip Manager's code will determine what mode windows is currently using and pass the correct parameters to the appropriate PIF file. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you specify a startup directory in any of these PIF files. Zip Manager will find and execute the needed programs since it has access to the path. Please read the documentation which is accessed by pressing Shift+F1 after starting Zip Manager. It contains important information you will want to know about in order to get the most from your program. 4.) Use Zip Manager on a few your Zip Files. If you like it, please register it. We have tried to make registration as fast and convenient as possible. A tremendous amount of work went into Zip Manager and we hope you enjoy using it(and enjoy registering your copy even more)! 5.) Corporate users must register Zip Manager. We have a very reasonable site license fee based on total number of CPU'S involved. 6.) Please read the license agreement contained in the ZM.HLP file. This especially applies to Disk Duplication Companies. Trouble Shooting ---------------- If you are having trouble getting Zip Manager to function correctly follow the directions below. Start Windows in Standard Mode Win /s or Real Mode Win /r. Start Zip Manager, select List from the menu. Choose a Zip file to list. Zip Manager will now run PKZIP,'UNZIP in full screen mode. If you receive the DOS message "Bad Command or FIle Name" this indicates that ZM1.EXE is not finding PKZIP,'UNZIP. Check your path statement again and try moving ZM1.EXE to the directory where you PKZIP,'UNZIP files reside. A little experimentation with the location of ZM1 will solve this problem. If you still can't get Zip Manager working please call us for further technical assistance.
