Drag And Zip version 2.0

You have received a copy of Drag And Zip version 2.0.  Features new to
version 2 that are not mentioned in the manual are:
    *  Explicit support for PKZIP version 2
    *  Improved file viewer with font selection and optional word wrap.
    *  Common dialog boxes for easy selection of directories when Zipping
       and unZipping
    *  Easy check boxes and radio buttons for selecting Zip/unZip options
    *  Drag And Zip's Zip file viewer, Zip View, now has drag and drop
       support so that files can be dragged to it for viewing.  This is
       particularly useful for viewing self-extracting Zip files that you
       can't double click on.

                        PKZIP version 2 menu option

You will find a new menu option in the "Settings" menu of Zip View and the
system menu of Drag And Zip.  This option says "PKZIP version 2".  There
will be a check next to this option if your copy of Drag And Zip is set up
for PKZIP version 2.  You can click on this option to check or uncheck it,
and turn on and off the version 2 support.

                        PKZIP version 2 Support

During installation, Drag And Zip will try to determine if the copy of PKZIP
that you have is version 2.  If Drag And Zip thinks that it is, it will
prompt you with a dialog box to confirm it.  Then when you run Drag And Zip,
the dialog boxes presented to you when Zipping and unZipping will show
options particular to PKZIP version 2.

The current version of PKZIP is 2.04c.  That version has documented problems
running under Windows.  PKWARE has provided the user with a number of
command line options to make PKZIP run better.  PKZIP runs differently on
every machine.  Your machine may exhibit no problems while your friend's
might.  PKWARE calls these options "trouble shooting options".  These
options are:
    *  Turn off usage of DPMI
    *  Turn off usage of 80386 instructions
    *  Turn off usage of EMS or XMS
    *  Turn off network detection
    *  Use a slower method of memory copy

To make your initial use of Drag And Zip trouble free with PKZIP version 2,
these options are automatically turned off when Drag And Zip is installed.
It might not be necessary to have these options turned off with your
hardware, so you can reconfigure these options by choosing  the
"Compatibility" button from the Zip and unZip dialog boxes.  This button
will be visible only if you've told the Drag And Zip that you are running
PKZIP version 2.

Choosing the "Compatibility" button will bring up a dialog box where there
are check boxes for turning each option on and off.  Choosing "OK" will
change those options for the current sessions of Drag And Zip.  Choosing the
"Save as Default" button will save these changes for future sessions.


                        Other New Features

The Zip and unZip dialog boxes now contain check boxes and radio buttons for
choosing command line options.

In Drag And Zip's Zip dialog box you are presented with three check boxes on
the left hand side of the screen.  They are "Zip all sub directories",
"Store path names in sub directories" and "Store all path names".

Zip All Sub directories
This option is made available when you've dragged one or more sub
directories to the Drag And Zip icon.  Windows file manager allows you to
drag directories from the right side of the display only while Norton
Desktop allows dragging from either side.  Turning on this option will also
Zip all of the sub directories that that directory has, if any.  This also
means sub directories of sub directories.  The command line option is "-r",
"recurse directories", which is computerese for the same.

Store Path names in Sub directories
This option will store the path names of the files in the sub directories.
It won't store the path names of the directory that  you dragged, just the
sub directories of that directory.  This is the PKZIP option "-p", "store
path names of directories recursed into".

Store All Path names
This corresponds to the PKZIP option "-P" and will store the full path name,
of any file that is Zipped. This option will store directory information
whether you've dragged whole directories or just files.

On the right hand side of the screen there will radio buttons for choosing
the method of compression that you want.  In PKZIP version 1.1 the default
is "Maximum compression".  In PKZIP version 2.04c the default is "Normal
compression".

Zip View also presents you with check boxes for choosing PKUNZIP command
line options.  They are "Create directories stored in Zip file" and
"Overwrite existing files".

Create Directories Stored in Zip File
This does exactly what it says.  If there is directory information stored in
your Zip file, this will create those directories when the file is unZipped
and put the files in their proper directories.  This corresponds to the "-d"
option of PKUNZIP.

Overwrite Existing Files
Normally when PKUNZIP creates a file from a Zip file and and the file
already exists on your hard disk, PKUNZIP asks you if you want to overwrite
the file.  Choosing this option will turn those warnings off.  This
corresponds to the "-o" option of PKUNZIP.

I've worked very hard to make this new version more intuitive and easy to
use.  I hope that you like it .
