Zip Files; Using Zipman Wizard - McAfee OFFICE 3.1 User Manual

McAfee Utilities
The McAfee Zip Manager is a complete zip management utility that you can
use in two ways: via ZipMan Wizard or the advanced McAfee Zip Manager.
ZipMan Wizard provides you with all the zip file management features you
will normally use. It takes you, step by step, through the process of zip file
creation and extraction.
Advanced McAfee Zip Manager is more suited to people who are experienced
with manipulating files, to those who want to work independently of a
Wizard, or to those who want to take advantage of McAfee Zip Manager's
advanced capabilities, some of which are not accessible from ZipMan Wizard.
McAfee Zip Manager can become an integral part of your Windows file
management operations. You can drag files from any location directly into the
McAfee Zip Manager icon, and you can Right-click a file, and choose McAfee
Zip Manager from Windows 95/98's Send To menu to send that file directly
to McAfee Zip Manager.

Zip Files

There are three good reasons why you would want to create zip files. First,
zipping files (especially those that you don't use often) is an effective way of
reclaiming hard disk space. Second, zipping is a good way to create, manage
and store collections of related files as archival back-ups. Third, you can
efficiently share zipped files with other people. Most of the larger files you
download from the Internet are zipped, so you can download them quickly.
McAfee Zip Manager also lets you create self-extracting zip files, which are
especially helpful if you share zip files with other people who may not have
McAfee Utilities' McAfee Zip Manager or another program to unzip the files.
A self-extracting zip file contains the decompression portion of the McAfee
Zip Manager and enables the zip file to extract itself on another computer.

Using ZipMan Wizard

ZipMan Wizard provides an easy way to use a Wizard-style interface to
perform the most common tasks. You can drag files from any location into the
ZipMan icon on your desktop, just like you drag files that you no longer want
into the Windows Recycle Bin. After you drag zipped or unzipped files into
the ZipMan Wizard icon, ZipMan Wizard automatically opens with those files
ready for you to zip or unzip them.You can use the ZipMan Wizard to perform
four separate zip file management tasks:
• Extract Files from archive–lets you unzip files (either from your zip
archives or from another source) and save them to your specified
directories.
