ZipView by Jeff Prosise

PURPOSE
       ZipView is an extension to the Windows 95 shell that makes it
easier to work with zip files. It adds a Contents page to the property
sheet of zip files that displays their contents. You can select files
for extraction by highlighting them and clicking the Extract button.

USAGE
     To install ZipView, copy ZIPVIEW.DLL to a directory on your hard
disk and run ZVSetup. This adds lines to your registry that tell
Windows 95 how and when to use ZIPVIEW.DLL.

    ZVSetup will ask you for the path of ZIPVIEW.DLL. You can type the
path name manually or use the Browse button to search for the file.
Note that ZIPVIEW.DLL won't show up in the Browse window if "Hide files
of these types" is checked in the View page of the Options dialog box
that pops up when you select View|Options in an Explorer window.

    To use ZipView, right-click a zip file anywhere in the shell's
namespace (for example, in Explorer or in a window representing a
folder descended from "My Computer"), select Properties from the con-
text menu, and click the Contents tab at the top of the window. You
will see a list of the files stored in the zip file. To extract,
highlight one or more file names and click the Extract button.
ZipView uses PKUNZIP to do the actual extracting, and will ask you
where this file is stored the first time you extract.
