- PMZIP.EXE executable
- PMZIP.HLP documentation in online hypertext help format
- PMZIP.TXT documentation formatted for printing
- PMZIP.DLL required dynamic link library

*** Installation:

Follow these steps for an easy installation:

1) If you already have installed a previous version of PMZIP, delete all
files in your PMZIP directory.  Otherwise create a directory to hold the
PMZIP related files.  For example, "C:\PMZIP".

2) Copy all PMZIP-related files to this directory.  At a minimum you
need the following files:  PMZIP.EXE, PMZIP.HLP, and PMZIP.DLL. Note:
there is no need to include the directory containing PMZIP related files
in your LIBPATH= or HELP= paths.

3) Run PMZIP.EXE, either by double clicking on PMZIP.EXE in the File
Manager or by entering PMZIP at the the OS/2 system prompt.  The first
time you run PMZIP it will bring up the Install dialog box to complete
the installation.

Optional installation steps:

a) Add the directory created in step one to your PATH.  If you don't add
the directory to your path, you'll need to type the directory name when
you start PMZIP from the command line (for example, you'll have to type
"C:\PMZIP\PMZIP" rather than just "PMZIP").

b) Add the statement "PMZIP /ICON" to your STARTUP.CMD file. This will
automatically start PMZIP as an icon whenever you boot OS/2, and
facilitates use of the File Manager's Drag and Drop Interface.

*** Starting PMZIP

After you've installed PMZIP, the most common ways to start the program
are:

1) To open an existing ZIP file from the File Manager, double click on
the ZIP file.

2) To add files to an existing ZIP file, select one or more files in the
File Manager, hold down mouse button two, drag the file(s) over a PMZIP
window or icon, and release the mouse button.  NOTE:  you should drop
files over a copy of PMZIP that is running, not over an icon in a
Desktop Manager Program Group window.

3) To add files to a new ZIP file, use the procedure for adding files to
an existing ZIP file, but be sure to specify the filename in the dialog
box displayed when you "drop" files onto a running copy of PMZIP.

Alternately, you can start PMZIP by double clicking on the PMZIP icon in
the "Group - Main" window or from the OS/2 command line by entering the
PMZIP.EXE command.  Similarly you can open new or existing ZIP files
with the "New" and "Open" entries in the "File" pull-down menu.
