1.  INTRODUCTION TO ZIPMAGIC 2000

Welcome to ZipMagic 2000!  You have purchased the most innovative, powerful and 
easy-to-use file compression program around.  This coordinated set of Zip utilities 
incorporates features that make file compression and uncompression a breeze.  
ZipMagic allows you to display zipped files as Windows folders, PLUS it provides an 
interface for you to zip files in a more conventional way.  

This is a summary of some of the newest features:

Support for Anti-Virus Software

As Zip files may contain viruses, ZipMagic 2000 can be configured to work with current 
versions of Ontrack Fix-It Utilities 99, as well as other anti-virus programs, by scanning 
zipped files for viruses.    

New Help for Internet Downloading

The new DownloadMagic™ feature makes downloading easier by creating a separate 
pop-up window when a download activates.  In this download window, users can restart 
crashed downloads, start and stop downloads or simply queue multiple downloads to 
occur one after the other.

New Features for Zip Power Users

Many of ZipMagic’s features are now available via a Windows command line version, 
accessible from a DOS box in Windows.  The command line allows users to create Zip 
files and self-extracting Zip files, span Zip files over multiple diskettes, specify input text 
files (response files) containing the names of files to be zipped, password protect and 
update the contents of Zip files.

ZipMagic 2000 also has a stand-alone DOS command line option, which features basic 
zipping and unzipping and is useful for creating batch files or manipulating files in DOS 
without Windows running.  

Along with these, ZipMagic 2000 has a fully integrated interface with new wizards and 
an easy-to-use file viewer. There are special disk spanning capabilities and self-
extracting executable features as well.

6.  ZIPTOOLS; A NOTE


Former users of ZipMagic:  If you have installed and used either ZipMagic 1.0 or 
ZipMagic 98, you may have used the ZipTools feature.  The new ZipMagic 2000 
interface is replacing ZipTools in this and future versions of ZipMagic.  
However, ZipTools is still automatically installed from your ZipMagic 2000 CD if you are 
running Windows 95 or 98.  ZipTools is currently not compatible with pre-release 
versions of Windows 2000, and will not be automatically installed on Windows 2000 
systems.

The ZipTools user guide will be available in PDF format from the Mijenix/Ontrack web 
site.  

You can access ZipTools by navigating to the ZipMagic installation directory and 
running the program ziptools.exe.

Any Windows 2000 updates to original products are normally available via EasyUpdate.

You can download a standalone ZipTools guide in PDF format from the Mijenix web site 
at http://www.mijenix.com.  

7.  KNOWN PROBLEMS/ISSUES

EZSetup:  Sometimes this feature freezes if the Outlook email program is running.  If 
this happens, just close Outlook and EZSetup will continue running normally.

Windows 2000 compatibility:  ZipMagic does not support certain advanced Windows 
2000 features such as extremely long file names and Intellimirror.

AV Scanner:  If you are using Fix-It Utilities 99 as your command-line anti-virus 
scanner, you must use the “/s” option, which causes it to scan into sub-folders.

GENERAL WARNINGS

Heeding these warnings may prevent problems using ZipMagic 98:
1.	Do not attempt to compress your \Windows folder, or any of its subfolders!  
	Compressed folders can not be accessed until after ZipMagic is loaded. Because 
	Windows loads before ZipMagic, it must remain unzipped otherwise Windows will not 
	boot.
2.	In general, it is better not to rename a folder that contains a complex application 
	(which happens when you compress a folder). When the programs are installed, path 
	information is often stored in the registry, .ini files, and so on. That being so, renaming 
	an program folder behind the registry's back, so to speak, will render the path 
	information invalid which may prevent the application from running.
3.	ZipMagic does not incorporate file locking, so we suggest that you do not use 
	ZipMagic on database files that can be accessed by multiple users at the same time.
4.	When ZipMagic encounters an encrypted Zip file, it asks for the password, and 
	caches or "remembers" it for that session of Windows so that you don’t have to re-enter 
	it every time you access the folder. If this poses a security risk, you can set a hotkey to 
	force ZipMagic to forget the password.
5.	There may be incompatibilities with device drivers written by other companies.  
	We apologize in advance for any such problems and would very much like to hear 
	about the problems you encounter, if any. 
6.	There is a major design problem in the Windows 95 Novell client for NetWare. 
	This client does not currently incorporate a network redirector and therefore all device 
	drivers are left blind with respect to file activities on the servers to which the client is 
	attached. This has very serious consequences as, for example, anti-virus device drivers 
	completely fail to prevent access to infected data on the NetWare servers. ZipMagic too 
	is affected, as it cannot present Zip archives as folders on network drives when using 
	the Novell Windows 95 NetWare client.
	The workaround to this Novell client problem is to use Microsoft's client for 
	NetWare which ships with Windows 95. The Microsoft client incorporates a network 
	redirector and device drivers and anti-virus drivers will work fine with it.
