| Win Zip brings the
convenience of Windows to the use of Zip files and other compression formats. The
optional wizard interface makes zipping and unzipping easier than ever. Win Zip features
built-in support for CAB files and for popular Internet file formats such as TAR, gzip,
UUencode, BinHex, and MIME. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are supported via external programs.
Win Zip interfaces to most virus scanners.
Win Zip Wizard
The WinZip Wizard optional feature uses the standard and familiar "wizard"
interface to simplify the process of zipping, unzipping, and installing software
distributed in Zip files. The Win Zip Wizard is not targeted at experienced users, but is
ideal for the rapidly growing number of PC users getting started with Zip files. When
these users gain confidence or want to use more advanced zipping features, the full WinZip
Classic interface is just a click away.
Internet
Support
WinZip features built-in support for popular Internet file formats such as TAR, gzip,
UUencode, XXencode, BinHex, and MIME. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are supported via external
programs. You can use Win Zip to access almost all the files you download from the
Internet. The free Win Zip Internet Browser Support Add-On lets you download and open Zip files
from the Internet with one click using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
Seamless
Integration
WinZip includes tight integration with My Computer and Windows Explorer. Drag and drop to
or from Explorer, or zip and unzip without leaving Explorer.
Favourite Zip
Folders
WinZip lets you organize Zip files into one convenient list that is sorted by date, making
it easier to locate all Zip files, regardless of where they came from or where they are
stored. Unlike the standard Open Archive dialog box, the Favorite Zip Folders dialog box
treats the contents of multiple folders as though they were one folder. A Search facility
will find any Zip files lost on your hard disk.
Create Files
That Unzip
Themselves
WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition is included with WinZip. Self-extracting files are

5.21 and Norton Antivirus 2002, so you can easily test your downloads for viruses.
WinZip Self-Extractor 2.2
