Suggested One Line Program Description: Create native Windows self-extracting ZIP files Suggested Keywords: WinZip Self-Extractor Extract SFX UNZIP ZIP Windows ASP Suggested Description Do you need to send files to end users who may not have an unzip utility? If so, try WinZip Self-Extractor, an optional add-on for WinZip. WinZip Self-Extractor creates native Windows self-extracting ZIP files. End users without an unzip program can just double click on a self-extracting ZIP file to unzip it with a familiar Windows interface. A self-extracting ZIP file is an executable program that includes your ZIP file and a small unzip program (less than 12 kb) that will extract the contents of the ZIP file. Because no separate unzip program is needed, self-extracting ZIP files are ideal for sending software, documents, or graphic images to colleagues or clients who may be unfamiliar with data compression. New features in version 2.0 include: * Options to create self-extracting ZIP files with new headers: * 32-bit Win32 headers * 16-bit Windows headers with Windows 95 long filename support * MS-DOS support (one EXE works on either MS-DOS or Windows) * Improved automation and customization for software installation, such as the ability to specify an icon and text for the main dialog box, and to delete temporary files after running a setup program. Includes support for Sterling Software's InstallShield SETUP program. * All versions can be created with English or German messages. * A Wizard to simplify the process of building self-extracting files. Other Information Requirements: Windows 3.1 or later, and a utility like WinZip to create standard ZIP files. Registration: $49 (includes shipping) to receive disk with latest version and a license to create royalty-free self-extracting ZIP files on one workstation. Author: Nico Mak Computing, Inc, P.O.
