WarpZip (v1.04)raises the bar again!
WarpZip is a fresh new way to handle your archives. The integration of a
directory tree as part of the interface makes unarchiving complete archives
or just selected file(s) from an archive to any directory as simple as a 3
inch drag and drop, to ANYWHERE on your drives. If you don't have the
directory you want, create it! You can also open any folder from the
directory tree for drag and drop operations. Delete any directory or even
complete directory trees from WarpZip!
We are unaware of any software that will help you find those almost
unrecognizable OS/2 packed files except WarpZip. WarpZip will search a
directory, directory tree, hard disk or CD for zip files as well as OS/2
packed files. It will add or delete files from archives, view files in
archives or you can test run them (to do an installation, for example) and
let WarpZip clean up after you. You can test zip files or run virus scans,
view bitmaps, build self extractors, copy, move, rename... well... you get
the picture...
There have been many small changes accumulating since the 1.03 version but a
few items of note are:
More items remember drag & drop color & font changes.
You may now delete directories & directory trees (be careful!) from the
directory container.
Directory container now updates properly when creating directories.
Build self extracting archives.
Base & Search directories are now displayed in the menu.
Five top favorite folders are displayed in the menu.
Antivirus support for IBM's AntiVirus and McAfee's.
We would like to thank you all for the terrific reception you have given.
WarpZip is truly different than anything we are familiar with and we hope to
expand on that. It is almost more like an unarchiver with a file manager
strapped to the side.
The upcoming version (v1.05) will provide one of the most powerful zip
search functions available anywhere.
