Trouble? Here are a few solutions.

CORRUPTED COLORS, FONTS etc. - If you ever want to start fresh, just delete the "WarpZip.ini" file and it will be rewritten with the program defaults.

SEARCH WINDOW IS OFF THE MAIN WINDOW - The main window "owns" the other windows that it opens. This means that they will move when the main window does but only if they are visible. That means if the search window has been opened once but is not visible now, you could slide the main window sideways and when the search window is reopened it will appear in it's last known location. This can be used to your advantage but to get them back to setting themselves over the main window, just maximize the main window and then restore it to the position you had it in by clicking the maximize button once to maximize and once to restore it to it's original position.

DLL LOCATIONS - The UNZip32.dll and the VpUtil.dll HAVE to be in a directory explicitly set in the LIBPATH statement. We're sorry to say that it's not good enough to have a dot in the LIBPATH. Either choose a path from the listing the install program says are available or have the installation program add the path to the config.sys file. Even if you choose the dot from the install program the installation will fail.

FAT OR HPFS - WarpZip works best when installed on an HPFS formatted drive. A few conversions remain for usage on a FAT drive. Some of these issues have been addressed but on a FAT drive WarpZip won't view a file that is under a subdirectory inside the zip file. It will convert longfilenames to short ones for viewing by third party software on a FAT drive like: "really_Long_File.Name" will become "really_l.nam" but when it converts "DirName/Really_Long_File.Name" to "dirname/really_l.nam" either WarpZip or the unzips' dll call doesn't work. (yet)

SIZES AND COLORS - You can tailor the sizes of some of the program controls to your systems' video resolution via drag and drop font changes. Is the directory tree to big for you? Drop a smaller font on it and it will shrink or, drop a larger font on it to help your aging eyes see the print. If you're running in 640x480 resolution and the toolbar Icons are to high, a smaller font will drop them down onto the button. Color changes for many of the controls are also available via drag and drop. Find them in the "Options" menu.
