NEW IN THIS RELEASE

This release comes quickly on the heels of v2.3 but we have added a
new feature that we felt deserved to see the light of day. It is a
type of seamless install from zip archives. Double-clicking on any
install.exe or setup.exe in the viewer automatically sets the archive
up to do an installation. Afterward the user can press the "Clean up"
button to have WarpZip take care of the mess.


WARPZIP OVERVIEW

WarpZip is the latest in Zip and OS/2 "Packed" file management.
Beneath WarpZip's stunning interface you will find some revolutionary
and powerful functions that will save both time and effort and boost
your productivity.

The integration of a directory tree as part of the interface makes
unarchiving complete archives or just selected file(s) from an
archive to any directory as simple as a 3 inch drag and drop, to
ANYWHERE on your drives. If you don't have the directory you want,
create it! You can also open any folder from the directory tree for
drag and drop operations. Drag files into or out of archives. Delete
any directory or even complete directory trees from WarpZip!


DOWNLOAD PREPROCESSOR

No more manually selecting a directory when downloading from NS.
WarpZip's Download PreProcessor allows your browsing sessions to
sport one click downloads that obey your every whim. It will
selectively move your downloaded zip files to any directory you
choose, test them for integrity, virus test them and queue them up
for later review by WarpZip. All this is handled seamlessly in the 
background while you spend your online time making your browser
session count. When you're offline, WarpZip will be waiting with the
list of files you've downloaded. It will automatically load them in
it's queue on startup and present you with any test results you may
have requested.


PACKED FILES?

OS/2 Packed file extensions can have "_" or "@" or no extension at
all. So how do you locate them? Better yet, how do you locate and see
what files are archived inside of them? We are unaware of any
software that will help you find those almost unrecognizable OS/2
packed files except WarpZip. Of course, dragging a file out of them
or viewing them is as easy as working with a zip archive.


SEARCH FACILITIES

WarpZip will search a directory, directory tree, hard disk or CD for
zip files as well as OS/2 packed files. It will add or delete files
from archives, view files in archives or you can test run them (to do
an installation, for example) and let WarpZip clean up after you. You
can test zip files or run virus scans, view bitmaps, grep, build self
extractors, copy, move, rename, delete... well... you get the
picture...


INSTALLATION DETAILS

During installation WarpZip will allow you to use existing paths for
dll's etc. and keep track of them for you. It will write an uninstall
script specific to your installation should you decide to remove the
program at a later date. No forgotten file clutter...


ERATTA

WarpZip licenses are available at BMT Micro ($29).

Please take this opportunity to download a fully functional copy from
our website and try everything out. The "Sample.zip" that opens
automatically on the first run will help get your feet wet but we
hope you will check into all the different search mechanisms in the
program too.
