What is OMNIDrive ?

        OMNIDrive is a whole new way to work with .ZIP files.  OMNIDrive
        allows you to attach a drive letter to ANY .ZIP file.  Any
        standard DOS command may then be used to access, view, delete files,
        add files, or for that matter any thing that may be done to a DOS disk
        may now be done to your zip files.

        Think of it.  What easier way could there be to view the contents
        of your ZIP file than a DOS DIR command !  Can you think of any
        easier way to add a file to your ZIP file than using DOS COPY or
        XCOPY ?

        Imagine ZIP file management using your favorite file manager such
        as XTree or Nortons Commander.  OMNIDrive is fully windows
        compatible.  As drive attachment is independent when it's attached,
        you could shell out of you favorite COMM package, mount the .ZIP
        file you had just downloaded and return to your Communications
        package and suddenly find a new drive available to you, containing the
        contents of the ZIP file you had just downloaded.

        What you have just received is a special Demo version of OMNIDrive
        that allows you to see just how OMNIDrive works.  This demo
        limits what maybe done with your ZIP file, and will not let you
        add or delete files or change the ZIP file in anyway.  But what it
        will do is convince you just how easy OMNIDrive is to use.

        OMNIDrive, a whole new approach to ZIP file management !

Install procedure:

     This version currently supports DOS version 5.0+ only !

    Execute OMNIDEMO.EXE from the command line. Once the TSR has been loaded,
the ability to attach drive letters to your zip files can be accomplished
with the use to the MOUNT and UNMOUND commands.

   The actual OMNIDrive software will includes an easy to use POP-UP or
Windows(r) utilities along with the command line utilities included
with this sample disk.

Command Reference :

        MOUNT driveletter zip_filename

        driveletter may include ANY drive letter available to DOS
        whether the drive is attached to a physical drive or not.

        zip_filename may be in valid .ZIP file.

        UNMOUNT driveletter

        driveletter maybe any drive letter attached to a .ZIP file.

        ** Note : Please verify that the LASTDRIVE command in your
                  config.sys file is set to the highest drive letter
                  that you plan to use for OMNIDrive.  Remember, OMNIDrive
                  may also be used to temporally replace a drive letter
                  already in use by DOS ( as long as the drive being
                  replaced isn't the host drive of the ZIP file being
                  used. ).  This included both Hard Drives and the
                  standard A: or B: floppy drives.  This gives OMNIDrive
                  the ability use a ZIP file to hold the contents of
                  a Install program that will be view as drive A: .
                  Now you may keep you Windows Install disks on-line
                  as ZIP files and when prompted to change disk, simply
                  press the OMNIDrive hot key, mount the second ZIP file
                  to the same A: drive ( thus replacing the 'disk' ).  What
                  could be simpler ?
