Native OS/2 Version (Not for Windows, Linux, etc.)
Zip Control is available
for download here as well as at other sites. The version available
for download is the Evaluation version.
It also serves as an "update" from previous versions to the
current version. The evaluation version is fully functional. The only
difference between the evaluation version and the Licensed version
is the Licensed version does not show the reminder window indicating
that it is an evaluation version.
The Evaluation version may be used for twenty-one days to determine if it is software that you wish to continue to use. At the end of the evaluation period, you may purchase (license) Zip Control or remove it from your PC.
Licensed users of Zip Control receive a License Key from the place purchased, either RPF Software or a dealer. This License Key is respected by the downloaded evaluation/update Zip Control files, at least through the current major version.
If you already have an unzip program:
Click here to download the latest "zipped" version of Zip Control (version 2.7.4, 897 KB). Unzip the downloaded file into a temporary directory, exit Zip Control (if running), and run the included Install program for either a new install or an update.
If you do not already have an unzip program:
Click here to download a self-extracting (.exe) version of Zip Control (version 2.7.4, 937 KB). Place the downloaded file in a newly created, temporary directory, and "run" the .exe file. It will unarchive into the directory. Then run the Install program to setup Zip Control in its permanent directory.
Version 2.7.4 November 20, 2003 ------------------------------- * Corrected the updating of available popup menu options on first popup use. Version 2.7.3 August 15, 2003 ----------------------------- * Added settings options for defining default sort preferences to be applied to newly opened .zip files. Version 2.7.2 April 12, 2003 ---------------------------- * Extended web browser definition entry field to 260 characters. Version 2.7.1 March 21, 2003 ---------------------------- * Corrected a defect introduced in version 2.6.9. The zip process would fail in certain conditions when the number of files to be zipped was larger than a certain value. Version 2.7.0 November 24, 2002 ------------------------------- * Added Reset Browser button to Product Information window. This button clears the previous web browser choice, scans for NetScape.exe, then Explore.exe if NetScape.exe is not found. The web browser program name may be changed, e.g., Mozilla.exe (however, Mozilla's standard installation requires the full path to Mozilla.exe, e.g., d:\mozilla\mozilla.exe. Once the Web Browser definition window is closed with the OK button, the web browser is launched to the RPF Software site. Version 2.6.9 July 4, 2002 -------------------------- * Added meaningful progress indicator for Adding files to a new or existing .zip file. * Added Estimate Bytes button for determining how many bytes will be added to a new or existing .zip file. A green or red square will show next to the estimate to roughly indicate if there is enough free disk space on the Work Location drive and the target disk drive to hold the .zip file and its temporary file created during the zipping process. Version 2.6.8 June 22, 2002 --------------------------- * Added "Save Sets" to make it easier to create or refresh .zip archives where the same or similar "Add" activities may be repeated from time to time. Version 2.6.7 May 17, 2000 -------------------------- * Corrected problem in displaying installed local printers when the total number of printers (including network) was greater than six. * Modified to work around Print.com's problems with file names greater than 72 characters in length (with Spooler enabled). * Compensated for a WPS "feature" which closed Zip Control when the Move to Zip Repository option was enabled along with either 1) drag & drop or 2) double-click on a .zip file. Version 2.6.6 January 26, 2000 ------------------------------ * Added capability to search for ASCII text or HEX values within the files contained within the .zip archive. See KeysHelp, Alt-F, Alt-Shift-F or use RMB popup menu. * Changed the behavior of the Hide Buttons (see RMB, Help) mode of Zip Control to auto-resize the window based on the longest text and the number of files in the archive. This feature may be toggled on/off by use of the RMB menu (Preferences) or Ctrl-R. The default operation, at startup, is enabled/on. The default startup setting may be changed by adding the /R command line parameter. * Added a command line parameter (/E) to turn off the attempt to compensate for IBM's System Editor (E.exe) placing newly opened documents in the background. If Desktop/Workplace "associations" have been changed to NOT use IBM's System Editor (E.exe), then this parameter may speed "Viewing" operations. * Corrected an erroneous error message at the completion of unzipping an archive which contained only files which included a space in the filenames.
