This is what Zip Scan 3.0 Looks Like!

Neat, huh?


Using Zip Scan 3.0

   Buttons:

 Start Scan Button

This Button Starts The Scanning process by first unzipping the ZIP file, and then scanning it.

 Scan Dir Button

This button starts the scanning of the current directory.

 View File Button

Note: This Has The Same Effect As Double-Clicking on the Zip List Box!

This button launches files. When you Double click files from file Manager, it makes an association of the file extension to the actual program that runs when you double-click it. Like double clicking on a text file usually brings up NOTEPAD.EXE to view the text file.

If There is no association for a file, and input box will pop up and prompt you to enter a command line. (NOTEPAD.EXE,WRITE.EXE Etc.)

Zip Scan 3.0 uses those same file extensions as file manager. To find out if there is an association of a program to a file you have selected from the Zip List Box, click the Associate Button.

Zip Scan Automatically and Internally Plays WAV Files and views BMP's directly from the ZIP...

Clicking this brings up aother window where you can click on files inside the zip to find out more detailed information about it.
