They have a host of features, and even support the addition of descriptions to compressed files. However, they are also command driven, which makes them difficult to use for non experts. In addition, there is no way to add or extract 4Dos file descriptions. There are other shells for PKZip & PKUnzip on the market. Some of them are undoubtedly quite good. But what I wanted was a program that would let you tag files to add to a ZIP file, and then add them along with their 4Dos file descriptions. In the same way I wanted to be able to tag the files in ZIP file, and extract them along with their 4DOS file descriptions. I also wanted to be able to see the descriptions along with the files. None of the available shells I looked at would do this. In 1989 I wrote the first version of ZIP.EXE to do this in a DOS environment. When I moved to Windows 3.0, I became fed up with having to open a DOS window to go and zip or unzip files. Finally I got around to writing a Windows equivalent that could be launched from program manager - ZIPW.EXE. Both these programs serve the same function that of adding files to and extracting files from a ZIP file, while automating the add/extract of the associated 4DOS descriptions. Of the two, ZIPW is more sophisticated, using as it does the Multiple Document Interface to permit you to work on more than one ZIP file at a time. One of these days I will get around to rewriting the Dos version to provide similar features. Until then, ZIPW is V2.0, while ZIP is only V1.2. Both support the new V2.04g of PKZip and PKUnzip which is the latest version at time of writing.
