ZipItUp Version 1.0

This is the first public release of a small utility I have been 
working on recently.  Zip It Up does one thing, but it does 
something that very few other utility do: it zips up ZIP 
files,using a drag-and-drop interface.  The term Zipping Up, 
used here means that all files in a directory that are 
identical to a member of the target zip file are erased, while 
the zip file itself reamins untouched.  

For example, say you unzipped FOOBAR.ZIP in the \TEMP 
directory, so that the files that exist in the directory are 
FOOBAR.ZIP, as well as FOOBAR.EXE, FOOBAR.TXT, FOOBAR.FRM, and 
FILE_ID.DIZ (all members of FOOBAR.ZIP). If you Zipped Up 
FOOBAR.ZIP, ZipItUp will delete the uncompressed versions of 
FOOBAR.EXE, FOOBAR.TXT, FOOBAR.FRM, and FILE_ID.DIZ (only if 
file time, date and size all match the file in the archive), while 
leaving only FOOBAR.ZIP in the directory.

ZipItUp is a Drag-and-Drop client, and will accept files 
dragged from File Manager, Norton Desktop for Windows, PC Tools 
for Windows, and any file manager that complies with the 
Windows standard (?) for file name drag-and-drop methods. More 
than one file can be dragged to ZipItUp, and the files can be 
dragged to the ZipItUp icon when it is minimized.  A list box 
containing status messages can be viewed when ZipItUp is 
maximized.

Installation:
There was a problem with the SETUP.EXE program that the VB 
Setup Wizard creats, so that the installation could only run 
from a floppy drive. This file just contains the needed .EXE, 
VBX and DLL files (minus VBRUN300.DLL). Place all files into 
your WINDOWS directory, and everything should work properly.


I hope to refine this utility as suggestions come in. Please
