A major revision is about to take place...

Just in time for WarpTech...

WarpZip does it again!


AND THE BIG NEWS IS

WarpZip takes a major step forward in version 3.0 and will arrive
just in time for WarpTech. We have added support to open, extract and
view files contained in RAR, ARJ and LHA (LZH) archives. Support has
also been added to perform directory, directory tree or even complete
partition searches for each of these formats as well.

This is the latest and, what we hope will be, the most functional
archiver solution ever produced for the OS/2 family of operating
systems. We had originally planned to get this update out in February
but over the past few months we have had our share of delays. One
thing remains certain... we have never stopped working for the
platform.


WARPZIP OVERVIEW

WarpZip is the latest in ZIP, RAR, ARJ, LZH 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!

Double clicking any "install.exe" entry in an archive automatically
opens the archive and starts the installation executable. When you're
finished, just click the "Clean up" button and WarpZip will not only
delete the mess but destroy all the temporary objects that were
created in the process!


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, RAR, ARJ or LZH
archive.


SEARCH FACILITIES

WarpZip will search a directory, directory tree, hard disk or CD for
ZIP, RAR, ARJ and LZH archives 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...
