Requirements

You must have Rexx support installed to run this program. Rexx is normally part of the default installation of OS/2. If Rexx is not installed you must go to Selective Install and install support for it there.

---------------------------

INSTALLING WARPZIP

Unzip the archive into any directory and run "Install.exe". The installer will query you for an installation directory and the dll and help file locations. When choosing a location for the dlls and help files, you will be presented with a listbox filled with presently used dll and help file locations retrieved from your config.sys file. If you choose one of these locations for both items, the config.sys will NOT have to be modified. Perhaps now is the time to consolidate all those smaller apps dlls and helps into one set of directories so programs like this don't have to add to your config.sys. (see "Installation Suggestions" in the Install.inf or the program help file)

WarpZip uses InfoZip's Unzip32.dll file for unzipping archives. Make sure you have the latest version of "Zip.exe" and "Unzipsfx.exe" installed on your system if you want to add to or build any new archives. We try to keep the latest version available at the PillarSoft website or a link to their home at cdrom.com.

---------------------------

INSTALLING WARPZIP MANUALLY

If for any reason, you want to install WarpZip manually, you can:

If you haven't done so already unzip the archive in any (your target) directory.

The dll files need to be in the LIBPATH statement for WarpZip to see them. You can add the WarpZip directory to the "LIBPATH" statement or here is a better Suggestion.

The "WarpZip.hlp" file may be copied into the \os2\help directory, added to the SET HELP statement or you can use the same Suggestion.

Run the "install.cmd" file from the directory you unzipped WarpZip into. This will create an object (icon) on the desktop.

If you have copied the dll's into a directory that exists in the LIBPATH already you may start the program right away. If you added a directory to the LIBPATH you will have to reboot for the new path to be in effect.

---------------------------

UNINSTALLING WARPZIP

When WarpZip is installed with the installation program, an uninstall file (removeWZ.cmd) is written and placed in your WarpZip directory. The file has all the information about the directories the files were copied into when they were installed and it will remove them from your system as well as destroying the desktop object and removing the WarpZip directory.

Be carefull that no other programs will need to use the dll files that WarpZip will be deleting. You can edit out lines referring to files that you wish to keep.

---------------------------

This version of WarpZip is fully functional but time limited. This means that nothing has been disabled and you have full use of all facilities available in WarpZip for 30 working days. There is a small grace period after the 30 day trial to allow it to keep working a bit longer but subsequent sessions will start with a short period of inactivity and eventually WarpZip will stop working. It is hoped that you will have had plenty of time to evaluate WarpZip fully in a 30 day time frame.
