                              April 8th 1994


 This document covers IMPORTANT material NOT contained in the user's guide.
 Please read ALL of this information carefully! SEE THE NEW FEATURES section
 for new features that are NOT covered in the help or documentation.

 All Known Bugs Fixed
 --------------------
 Version 5.1 fixes all known bugs reported to us in the last 6 months.
 Most importantly the CD ROM drive problem that some users reported has
 been fixed.  The Password option has also been corrected, and your
 cosmetic and functional suggestions have been implemented where possible.
 Zip Manager now fully supports NTFS, see the new features section.

 Important Installation Directions
 --------------------------------- 
 NOTE: The install program does NOT accept long directory names. Enter
 a standard 8.3 DOS file name or accept the default directory. You can
 always change the name after installtion.

 The Zip Manager program files are in compressed format, each file ends
 with an _ character.  You must run the ZMSETUP program to expand them
 before the program can be used. You must run ZMSETUP.EXE from the Windows
 Program Manager.  Other shells like the Norton Desktop or PC Tools for
 Windows are not 100% compatible with our setup program and may cause it to
 fail when attempting to create the Zip Manager Group.

 Running The ZMSETUP Program
 ----------------------------
 1. From the Program Manager File Menu choose Run...
 2. Enter the location of the ZMSETUP Program. If the files were on your
    A: drive then you would enter: A:\ZMSETUP and press Enter or Click on
    the OK button.
 3. The Zip Manager setup dialog will be displayed.
 4. The edit field will display a suggested directory.
 5. Press OK to accept the default directory or enter new destination
    directory and press Enter or Click on the OK button.
 6. The setup program will create the directory for you and display
    the file installation progress.
 7. When it has finished expanding and copying the files it will create
    a new Program Manager Group and add the program files to the group.
    Now you can proceed with the next step.

 To Complete The Installation
 ----------------------------
 After the installation program is finished you MUST read the installation
 section of the Users' Guide.  You will see its icon in the Zip Manager
 group. You must setup the program's default directories, and configure
 the program to work with your Virus Detection software.

 **************************************************************************
                    Important Information - Please Read These!
 **************************************************************************

 VERY IMPORTANT -> Please Note The Following:
 ---------------------------------------------
 THIS APPLIES TO DOS PKZIP USERS ONLY
 Do NOT put the Zip Manager program files deep in a directory tree. Doing
 so may make it impossible for Zip Manager to work with the DOS programs,
 ARJ and PKZIP.  We suggest that you install Zip Manager in its own directory
 off of the root directory.  c:\zipmgr, would be a good example.  ZMZIP and 
 ZMUNZIP allow Zip Manager to compress and extract files in very deep 
 directory trees.  However DOS programs are limited to 128 characters
 at the VERY MOST for command line arguments.

 VERY IMPORTANT -> Please Note The Following:
 ---------------------------------------------
 Zip Manager creates its own temporary directory called zm5temp which it
 uses to extract and store files. DO NOT use this directory, since all of
 the files in it are deleted when Zip Manager ends.  We wanted to be sure
 that you didn't set this as one of your default directories.
 If you did all of your files would be gone when Zip Manager closed!
 There was a bit of confusion about the usage of this directory and we
 wanted to make sure  that you didn't lose any files accidently.

 VERY IMPORTANT -> Please Note The Following:
 ---------------------------------------------
 **** WARNING YOUR DATA MAY BE IN DANGER ****
 Never add 2.04 format files to any Zip file created with the PKZIP
 Version 1.10.  This is the old zip file format, and if you add a file
 to a version 1.10 zip with either PKZIP 2.04g or Zip Manager you will
 CORRUPT the Zip file and all other files in it will be unrecoverable.
 We have had a few users report this unfortunate problem and we wanted
 to make you aware of it again for your safety.  Zip Manager has an
 easy to use convert option on the edit menu.  If you are NOT SURE
 if a file was created with pkzip 1.10 or 2.04, then don't take a
 chance!  Convert it to 2.04 format to be safe!

 This potential problem with backward compatibility was never
 documented clearly with any other archive program.  We want your
 data to be secure, so we felt it was worth re-documenting it here
 for extra saftey.

 VERY IMPORTANT -> Please Note The Following:
 ---------------------------------------------
 If you have the recurse directories switch checked
 and then select the root of your hard disk, Zip Mgr
 will try to recurse and archive your entire drive!
 There may be some instance where you would need to do
 this but just be aware that you will also need to have
 multiple volume switch set and have the target drive
 as either A: or B:

 Important Note On Converting Files!
 -----------------------------------
 DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONVERT MORE THAN ONE FILE AT A TIME. When converting
 a file from ZIP to ARJ or ARC to ZIP for example, you would force the
 conversion process to open up more than one copy of PKZIP.  This can
 easily RESULT IN SEVERE DATA LOSS.  The Zip Manager was designed to convert
 only one file at time, so please be careful.

 MAPI.DLL Error Message Warning                 
 ------------------------------
 If you don't have an E-Mail program, or one that uses the Microsoft Mail 
 API then the FIRST TIME Zip Manager starts you MAY get a message box that
 says, "Error Can't Find MAPI.DLL"  TO DIABLE THIS ERROR MESSAGE:

 1. Start the windows Notepad program.
 2. Type the following: NO MAIL
 3. Choose Save from the File Menu.
 4. Save the file in your Windows/System Directory with the name MAPI.DLL
 5. Now when Zip Manager starts it will see this file and disable the
   mail items on the menu and you will no longer get the error message.

 Maintenance Releases and Upgrades
 ----------------------------------
 All maintenance and minor version upgrades will be available ONLY on our
 BBS. Since these releases will contain only the upgraded files it will
 save you download time and keep the files on our board where they won't
 inadvertently be downloaded as the complete program.

 ===============================================================
                  New Features In Version 5.1
 ===============================================================

 Complete NTFS File Support
 --------------------------
 Zip Manager now fully supports the NTFS file system and will handle both
 long file names and long directory names.

 The Short & Long File Name Buttons On the Tool Bar
 --------------------------------------------------
 In order to allow you to easily create zip files for DOS
 users Zip Manager has 2 buttons on the Tool Bar. Since
 DOS PKUNZIP wouldn't know what to do with a long file
 name or directory name and would report a corrupt zip
 file.

 The L.___ Button Displays Long  File Names Only.
 The S.___ Button Displays Short File Names Only.

 You can press the Short file name button and then be able to choose
 the short file name to add the a zip file.  Now you can drag and drop
 only short names into a zip destined for DOS users.
 
 VERY IMPORTANT -> Please Note The Following:
 ---------------------------------------------
 Express Mode and Alternate 8.3 Names

 Express Mode uses standard Windows List boxes, and as a result will
 only see long file names, and normal DOS 8.3 short file names.
 It will not be able to show you the alternate short file name created
 by Windows NT.  You will need to use Manager Mode if you need to work
 with alternate 8.3 names.

 NTFS Long Name Protection For DOS PKUNZIP
 -----------------------------------------
 If you accidently add a long file name to a zip file and then
 give it to a DOS user to extract they will get the following
 error message from PKUNZIP: PKUNZIP you need version 3.6 to 
 decompress this file.  This was an error message that PKWARE
 had left in pkunzip for file systems other than DOS.  We were
 able to use this to let users know that something is wrong
 with the zip file they got from you.  It is nice to offer them
 some sort of error message other than a corrupt zip message.

 FULL PKZIP Multiple Volume Support
 ----------------------------------
 Zip Manager now fully supports creating and extracting ALL or 
 SELECTED files from a multiple volume Zip. Due to the way
 that a multiple volume zip is created you MUST place the LAST
 disk in the series in your floppy drive.  The last disk is the
 ONLY one that contains the needed information about all of the
 files contained in the zip file.  Once the files are selected
 pkunzip will prompt you to put in the correct disk number.

 Full Use Of The Registration Database
 ----------------------------------------------
 In order to allow for multiple configurations and in keeping
 with the Win32 API, Zip Manager now makes full use of the
 registration database.

 Don't Forget The "Easy Check Out Feature"
 -----------------------------------------
 Since Zip Manager can create a new group for you right frrom the menu
 or allow you to drag a program directly from an archive and drop it
 on any program manager group to add it to that group.  All of these
 features make it very easy to "Check Out" a new program with a minimum
 of effort.  Also remember that all you have to do to "run" a program is
 double click on it in any Zip or Arj file.

 Self Extracting Archive Support
 -------------------------------
 Zip Manager now fully supports self extracting EXE files as normal archive
 files.  You double click on them to open them into the archive pane as you
 would any other Zip or Arj file.  You can then perform any option available
 to archive files on them.

 File Re-Naming Support On Extraction
 -----------------------------------
 If Zip Manager encounters a file with the same name when extracting a zip
 file it gives you the option of entering a new file name. Only Zip Manager
 and ARJ offer users this convenient option!

 Directory Creation On Extraction
 --------------------------------
 Many users asked for this feature so that they could have a new directory
 created if they wanted to when the Zip file was extracted. Zip Manager
 can even create a multiple level directory.  If for example you entered:
 c:\test1\test2\test3  Zip Manager would create that directory structure
 and extract the files into the test3 sub directory!

 Drag and Drop Server
 --------------------
 Version 5 is now a Drag and Drop server, which means that you can drag
 files from Zip Manager and drop them on any program or other file manager
 for Windows to copy, move, or even add them to a program manager group.
 This functionality applies to files in archives and normal files shown
 in the directory pane.

 . Dot and .. Double Dot Support
 --------------------------------
 This release supports the . and .. as target directories when creating
 or extracting files.  You can enter a . or a .. in the target directory
 combo box instead of typing in the full directory name.

 Virus Detection Programs
 ------------------------
 Note:  In order for your virus detection program to work with Zip Manager
 it MUST be able to accept command line arguments. Read the users guide
 installation section for instructions on how to determine if your program
 will work with Zip Manager.

 Possible Parameter Combinations For Virus Detection programs.
 ----------------------------------------------------
 In the Zip Manager Setup Dialog Enter the following after the program
 location name and directory.

 For Example, X:\UTILITIES\NAVW.EXE /auto *.* /S would be the correct
 command for the Norton Anti Virus for Windows Program.

 Listed below are the (sometimes) correct switch parameters for most popular
 virus detection programs. You will most likely still need to experiment a
 little to get some of them to work.  We use and recommend SCAN.EXE from
 McAfee and Associates.

 NAVW.EXE /auto *.* /S
 WNAPVIR.EXE /QM *.*
 SCAN.EXE /A /nomem *.* /SUB
 NAV.EXE *.* /m- /s
 CPAV.EXE *.* /P
 MSAV.EXE *.* /P
