`
`What are Zip files?
`
`Zip files (.zip or .zipx) are single files, sometimes called "archives", that contain one or more compressed files. Zip files make it easy to keep related files
`together and make transporting, e-mailing, downloading and storing data and software faster and more efficient. The Zip format is the most popular
`compression format used in the Vlfindows environment. and WinZip is the most popular compression utility.
`
`Why do people use Zip files?
`
`Zip files compress data and therefore save time and space and make downloading software and transferring e-mail attachments faster. Typical uses for Zip files
`include:
`
`o Distributing files on the lntemet: Only one download is required to obtain all related files, and file transfer is quicker because the archived files are
`compressed.
`- Sending a group of related files to an associate: When you distribute a collection of files as a single Zip file, you benefit from the file grouping as well as
`compression.
`- Saving disk space: If you have large files that are important but seldom used. such as large data files. simply compress the files into a Zip file and then
`unzip (or "extract") them only when needed.
`
`Where does WinZip fit in?
`
`To store files in a Zip file, or to access the files in a Zip file, you need a compression utility such as VlfinZip. WinZip makes it easy for Windows users to work
`with archives. WinZip features a standard Vtfindows point—and-click drag—and-drop interface for viewing, running. extracting, adding. deleting, and testing files in
`Zip files. Occasional and first-time users can choose to use the intuitive WinZip Vlfizard.
`
`For more information on WinZip and how to get VlfinZip, please see the WinZip product informatipn page.
`
`How do | open a Zip file?
`
`After you have installed VlfinZip, you can open a Zip file by double clicking it in your e-mail attachment or Explorer window or by starting WinZip and choosing
`"Unzip or install from an existing Zip file" in the VifinZip Wizard. (If the WinZip Vifizard does not open by default when you start VWnZip, just click the Wizard
`button in the toolbar). The WinZip Vlfizard will guide you through the process of unzipping your file.
`
`How do I create a Zip file?
`
`To create a new Zip file, open VtfinZip in the WinZip Wizard mode. (If the VlfinZip Wizard does not open by default, just click the Wizard button in the toolbar.)
`You will be asked "What do you want to do?" Simply select "Create a new Zip file" and click Next. The VlfinZip VWzard will guide you through the entire process.
`
`When you become more familiar with Zip file operations. you can also try the VlfinZip Classic interface. The Classic interface offers many advanced features that
`are not available in the WinZip V‘fizard. Using the Classic interface, you can split large Zip files into smaller parts to overcome e—mail and other size limits; view.
`extract. and run individual files in a Zip file; remove files from an existing Zip file; encrypt your confidential files so that they can't be used without a password;
`and much more. To try the Classic interface, simply click the VtfinZip Classic button in the WinZip Vifizard. Extensive program help is available for every aspect
`of VlfinZip Classic operation.
