Additional Product Information
PKZIP Explorer 1.0 is a leading edge software compression utility providing user?s with the means to easily manage, manipulate, and digitally sign (X.509-based) their .ZIP archives without leaving the Windows Explorer shell environment. PKZIP Explorer is seamlessly integrated inside Windows Explorer and fully utilizes its powerful file handling resources. User?s familiar with Windows Explorer will already understand much of the PKZIP Explorer?s underlying (e.g. drag-and-drop, cut/paste) functionality.;PKZIP Explorer is compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0;One of PKZIP Explorer?s most salient new features is its ability to digitally sign (using standard X.509 digital certificates) .ZIP files and the contents archived therein. PKZIP Explorer can furthermore authenticate these stored digital certificates and likewise protect against archive and/or file tampering. Signed .ZIP archives provide a portable, secure, and authenticated container for transporting and exchanging files.;Other new features include archive edit mode modification, better file compression with the Deflate64 algorithm, association of PKWARE compression algorithms (e.g. Deflate, Deflate64, DCL Implode) with specific file (e.g. .jpg) types, and .ZIP file "favorites" management via the PKZIP Archive Manager. Additionally, PKZIP folder shortcuts provide quick access (via a permanent folder branch) to a .ZIP file?s contents under a specified Explorer folder hierarchy. Split/span functionality divides .ZIP archives into specified segment sizes or automatically spans them over multiple volume (e.g. diskettes) media. ;Functionality Overview of PKZIP Explorer 1.0;;
- PKZIP Explorer is integrated ? literally ? inside of Microsoft Windows Explorer. User?s familiar with Windows Explorer will already understand much of PKZIP Explorer?s functionality.;
- Quickly scan for .ZIP archives on your system to create archive shortcuts for easy viewing and access within the PKZIP Archive Manager.;
- Easily create "PK" folder shortcuts for selected .ZIP archives within Windows Explorer as an alternative to using the PKZIP Archive Manager.;
- Windows Explorer right-click context menus provide quick access to your .ZIP archives.;
- Hierarchical or tree view representation of the contents of a .ZIP archive allows fast and easy creation and navigation of complex .ZIP archives.;
- PKZIP Explorer Edit Mode expedites the archive file modification process with the help of instruction icons indicating when a file is to be added and/or deleted. Archives may be extensively modified before actual changes to them are saved. System overhead is minimized, accordingly, as the resources required for such modifications are only required when the archive is explicitly saved by the user.;
- New Split/Span feature splits or divides archive into user specified file segment sizes for storage on any media. When a .ZIP archive reaches the limit supported by a removable medium (e.g. diskette), PKZIP Explorer automatically spans archive over multiple media.;
- Improved compression with the Deflate64 algorithm, which is backward compatible with most current versions of PKZIP software including the latest PKZIP for DOS release.;
- Create .ZIP archives with the Implode algorithm, which provides compatibility for PKWARE Data Compression Library® embedded applications.;
- Digitally sign your .ZIP archives and their contents using standard X.509-based digital certificates (e.g. VeriSign Digital ID?s or certificates). Digitally signed archives and archived files provide a portable method for transporting authenticated data via the Internet or removable media. To view certificate information, PKZIP Explorer is required.;
- Use of Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) service by PKZIP Explorer maximizes installation flexibility (e.g. automation) allowing potential cost savings for large and small site deployments. The service supports customizable installations for Windows 2000, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4 platforms.;;System Requirements;PKZIP Explorer is intended for use on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000/98/95 systems. Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 systems require Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater (preferably with Shell Integration) for full utilization of PKZIP Explorer functionality.;Pricing and Availability;The registered version of PKZIP Explorer for Windows is $25 and is available for electronic delivery only.
