Have you ever used the Internet, America Online, or
another online service? 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 and other compression formats.

WinZip features include:

Seamless Windows 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.
Internet support: WinZip features built-in support
for the popular Internet file formats TAR, gzip,
UUencode, XXencode, BinHex, and MIME. In addition,
ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are supported via external
programs. You can use WinZip to access almost all
the compressed and encoded files you download from
the Internet.
Automatic installation of most software distributed
in Zip files: If a Zip file contains a "setup" or
"install" program, WinZip's Install feature will
unzip the files, run the installation program, and
clean up temporary files.
The WinZip Wizard: This optional feature uses the
standard and familiar "wizard" interface to
simplify the process of zipping, unzipping, and
installing software distributed in Zip files. The
WinZip Wizard is ideal for the rapidly growing
number of PC users who are getting started with Zip
files and for those who use Zip files only
infrequently. When these users gain confidence or
want to use more advanced zipping features, the
full WinZip Classic interface is just a click away.
Favorite 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.
Large file support: WinZip supports the 64-bit Zip
file format, which eliminates all practical
restrictions on the size of Zip files and on the
number and size of compressed files within a Zip
file. Zip file capacity is limited only by your
system's resources.
Advanced encryption: WinZip's advanced 128- and
256-bit AES encryption helps you prevent
unauthorized disclosure of the contents of your
sensitive documents.
Create files that unzip themselves: WinZip
Self-Extractor Personal Edition is included with
WinZip. Self-extracting files are ideal for sending
compressed files to others who may not own or know
how to use file compression software.
Zip and E-Mail: WinZip lets you zip files or
folders and e-mail them with just a few clicks from
Windows Explorer or My Computer. In addition, the
freely downloadable WinZip E-Mail Attachment Add-On
for Outlook lets you zip your Outlook e-mail
attachments quickly and easily, right from Outlook
2000 and Outlook 2002.
Virus Scanner Support: WinZip can be configured to
work with most virus scanners.
WinZip is extremely easy to use! To open an archive
simply double click on an archive listed in My
Computer or Windows Explorer, drag and drop an
archive onto WinZip, or use the standard Open
dialog box. The main WinZip window features a list
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 configurable
tool bar provides fast access to commonly used
actions. Extensive context sensitive help is always
available.

Double clicking on a file in the main WinZip window
has the same effect as double clicking in My
Computer or Windows Explorer. First, the file is
extracted from the archive. Then, if the file is
executable, it is run. Otherwise, the file is
opened by the appropriate application (for example,
WordPad for *.WRI files) based on standard Windows
associations.

The Windows 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 from My Computer
or Windows Explorer. You can also drop archives on
WinZip to open them, or drop files on WinZip to add
them to the open archive.
