 This file contains important information on Version 3.01 of Zip Manager and
 Windows 3.0

 Functionality for Computers with Windows/Bios Chip Conflicts.
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 As described in the zmdiag.txt file Zip Manager 3.0 was able to find
 incompatibilities between certain bios chips and windows with uncanny
 accuracy.  Version 3.01 will now run on any computer regardless of the
 bios version.

 Read Only and Overwrite Switch
 ------------------------------
 Version 3.01 no longer uses the overwrite option as the default. The
 -o PKUNZIP switch is now located in the switches menu. Read only Zip
 Files can now be extracted on Banyan LAN'S in addition to single user
 computers.

 Windows and the DOS Environment.
 -------------------------------
 In our examination of the DOS environment and the way Windows reacts with it
 the following suggestions may be helpful.

 DOS Programs and the Command Line.
 -----------------------------------
 As mentioned in the Windows User's Manual you should not pass more than
 12 characters as a command line argument when using the ? in a PIF file.
 The reason for this we discovered, was that in most instances only 12 - 17
 characters can be passed as command line args. When you go beyond this limit
 the args become truncated(cut off) after the limit is reached.

 A good rule of thumb is to keep your sub-directory names as short as possible. If
 The deeper you nest them below the root, the more likely you are to have
 the parameters passed to them become truncated.  This is less critical when
 you are using a native Windows Program since the Program Manager will
 change to the directory that holds the Windows executable before any
 parameters are passed thus lowering the number of characters need to
 be passed as arguments.

 We hope that the above information will make using Windows 3.0 a more
 enjoyable experience.  As always if you need technical support with
 Zip Manager feel free to call us during regular business hours.
