Well Its About Time!

A set of true Windows applications that will not only let you look at a ZIP file member 
directory listing or even extract files, but will let you create, modify, comment and test 
any ZIP file that is compatible with PKZIP/PKUnZIP, version 1.1, file formats.


There's More To Come!

We promised this release would have been out by December  15, 1991.  We 
released it three weeks later than promised.  Still not as bad as OS/2.

We also have some other things yet to do, like write the Registered User Guide 
and WinHelp application file, FPZIP.HLP, and add a few more features.  These 
won't be done until the end of  March, 1992 -- very close to the planned introduction 
of the next version of your favorite operating environment.  When done they'll be 
shipped to all registered users.


Our Problem!  

Naturally, we didn't  want to hold up the release of the ZIP/ZIPX for Windows 
applications, just for a few minor but useful details such as documentation and help 
files, and we certainly didn't want our users to pay full registration and license fees 
and then wait  a few months for the complete product.

Of course, as any other software company, we would also like to see revenues start 
rolling in, and not have to wait a few months either.
