Thank you for downloading ActiveZipper. I hope you find
it as useful for you as it was for me. Here are the 
instructions on how to use the control.


To load the control from VB4/32 either you can press CTRL+T or
right click on the toolbar full of controls and select 'Controls'.

After that just place it on the form of your choice.

ActiveZipper gives you only two properties. OutPutFile and SourceFile.
The SourceFile is what you want to compress, the OutPutFile is what will 
be the result of the compressed file (in its new filename). After you have
filled in those two properties, just one statement triggers compression:
ActiveZipper1.Compress This will compress the SourceFile. ActiveZipper WILL
check to see if the file is present, if not, it just won't compress, also
it will NOT start compressing while ActiveZipper is busy. It's a precautionary
feature.

To decompress, put in the compressed filename in the SourceFile property and the
new file name in the OutPutFile property and just use this statement: ActiveZipper1.Decompress

PLEASE NOTE when it has finished compressing/decompressing, ActiveZipper will trigger a 'Completed'
event.

DUE TO SECURITY. IT WILL NOT COMPRESS/DECOMPRESS TO VITAL SYSTEM FILES. SUCH AS:
WIN.INI
SYSTEM.INI
SYSTEM.DAT
CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT

ACTIVEZIPPER PRO WILL NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE.
