Problems when runing zipIT

Cannot get the program to perform PKZIP, PKUNZIP, ZIP2EXE, PKZIPFIX or VIEW

You will need to change the PIF file settings. Use the Pif Editor program to change the 'Program Filename' setting for the file ZIPIT.PIF.

In the Program Filename box type the full path where zipIT is installed and "zipit.bat".  So if zipIT was installed in the directory c:\winapps\zipit\ then type c:\winapps\zipit\zipit.bat.

The output is currupted when I view a ZIP file.

Use a different font. The best font to use is the Terminal font or any other constant width font. Constant width meaning that the size of each letter is the same. Most non TrueType fonts are suitable. If you use a TrueType font then the display will look currupted. The default font is the Terminal Font.
