 First Time Installation of Zip Control
 --------------------------------------
 Zip Control may be easily installed by running the included Install.exe
 program.

 If you have not already done so, unzip all the files in the Zip Control
 archive (.zip file) into a temporary directory (NOT to the intended
 directory for Zip Control). Then run the Install program.

 The installation program will request the drive and directory
 in which Zip Control should be installed. The directory will be created
 if it does not exist.

 Zip Control Desktop objects (folder, program references) may be
 installed by the installation program, at the user's option. We
 recommend that you do run the Install program. It sets up additional,
 useful DeskTop objects and places one entry in the OS2.INI file that
 will assist in future installs or uninstall.

 As mentioned above, one entry will be placed in the OS2.INI file:  the
 installation directory for Zip Control. This entry will be used
 (and removed) if the "Remove" (Zip Control) option of the Install
 program is later selected.

 Zip Control will store user preferences in the ZipCntrl.ini file which
 is created in the Zip Control directory the first time that Zip Control
 is used. Additionally, the customer-unique Zip Control License Key will
 be stored in the ZipCntrl.ini file so that the License Key will not
 need to be re-entered for subsequent updates.

 No changes to the Config.sys file will be made by Zip Control or the
 installation program. No hidden files are created by Zip Control. The
 unlicensed, Evaluation version of Zip Control is not limited in any
 way, other than a beginning "unlicensed" message.

 To perform a manual installation instead of using Install.exe, see
 Manual Installation below.  It is recommended that the included
 Install.exe be used instead of a manual install.

 Updating an Existing Version of Zip Control
 -------------------------------------------
 1. Make sure that you do not have a copy of Zip Control running.

 2. If you are updating a previous version of Zip Control, MAKE A BACKUP
    of your existing Zip Control directory. You can then revert to the
    previous version if there are problems in running the new version.

 3. Perform the installation as described above in "First Time
    Installation of Zip Control".

 Removal (Uninstall)
 -------------------
 To remove Zip Control, including any references in the OS2.INI file and
 Desktop folders and program references created by the Install program,
 run the Install program and select Remove.

 Install should be not be run from the Zip Control directory.

 Exit Zip Control before running the Install program.

 Manual Installation
 -------------------
 (It is recommended that the included Install.exe be used instead of a
  manual install.)

 1. If updating an existing version of Zip Control, see Backup note above.

 2. Copy the Zip Control zip file to the Zip Control directory (create
    if necessary). The default Zip Control directory name is \ZipCntrl.

 3. Change to the Zip Control directory. Example:

    CD \ZipCntrl

 4. Use UnZip.exe to unzip the Zip Control zip file into the Zip Control
    directory. Example:

    UNZIP -o ZIPCTnnn.ZIP    (where nnn is the version of Zip Control)

    Then unzip the file ZipCtIns.ZIP (which was inside ZIPCTnnn.zip):

    UNZIP -o ZipCtIns.ZIP

 5. ZipCtnnn.zip and ZipCtIns.zip may then be deleted from the Zip Control
    directory. If disk space is short, the only required files for Zip
    Control operation are: ZipCntrl.exe, ZipCntrl.hlp, zcNLS.dll,
    UnZip.exe, Zip.exe, UnZipSFX.exe, UnZipSFX.dos, and ZipCntrl.ini
    (ZipCntrl.ini is created by ZipCntrl.exe the first time Zip Control
    is used).

 6. Create one or more (see AutoUnZip feature in Help or History.doc)
    Desktop program reference objects from which to launch Zip Control.

 NOTE: If you plan to use an existing Zip Control (ZipCntrl.exe) to unzip
 this new delivery to your EXISTING Zip Control directory or to run the
 Install program from Zip Control's QwikEval feature, you will see an
 error message at the point where it attempts to unzip ZipCntrl.exe.
 This is because your existing copy of ZipCntrl.exe is in use and OS/2
 will not allow it to be "overwritten" with a new copy, while it is in
 use. If attempting the installation by using Zip Control's QwikEval
 feature, just exit the QwikEval feature (without deleting the temporary
 directory), exit Zip Control, and proceed with either a manual
 installation or via the installation program.

 If, instead, you use Zip Control to unzip the new Zip Control files to
 a temporary directory to install the files, once the delivery has been
 unzipped successfully, fully exit Zip Control (so that ZipCntrl.exe will
 not be in use), and copy all the files from the new temporary directory
 to your old/existing directory, for a manual installation. Or you may
 run the Install program for an automated installation.

 This way your existing ZipCntrl.ini file (which contains your License Key
 and your other ZC customization) will still be used (will not be
 overwritten).

 NOTE:  If you "test run" the new Zip Control in the temporary directory,
        ZC creates a new ZipCntrl.ini file. This new ZipCntrl.ini file
        will not contain your License Key nor any of your Zip Control
        customizations. If you then wild card copy (*.*) the files to
        your old Zip Control directory, the newly created ZipCntrl.ini
        file will overwrite your old ZipCntrl.ini file, and your
        License Key and customizations will be lost. You may want to
        delete the ZipCntrl.ini file in the temporary directory (used for
        the test run) before copying the new ZC files to your old ZC
        directory.
