New features in 1.0e beta (07-03-2000):

New features in 1.0d beta (24-02-2000):

• Full Drag & Drop support.
  You can both drag files into FilZip and out of FilZip, e.g. into Windows Explorer
• MultiExtract:
  This feature makes it possible for the user to extract many files at one time, without opening each file manually.
  An Example: You have many Zip archives, but within each there is only one textfile, and you want to extract them all into one folder. Normally, you would have to open each single file, select the folder and extract it. But with MultiExtract, you only must select all the files you want to have extracted, select the folder, and extract them all into it.
  Other possibilities are to let FilZip automatically create a subdir for each zipfile.

New features in 1.0c beta (23-01-2000):

• New spanning capabilities: Now you can either let FilZip span the data automatically, e. g. to floppy disks, or you can manually select the size of the single files you want to have.
• I have been working on many bugs, so this version should be much more stable
• Another thing I found out now is how to implement shell extensions. The next version of FilZip will definitly support this feature, but I haven't had the time do include it yet.

New features in 1.0b beta (01-11-99):

• Implemented the possibility to sort the list items by name size, date and so on. Either you use the menues (main menu or popup menu) or you click the column headers.
• The statusbar now gives you more information about the archive and the selected files. It shows you how many files are in the entire archive and how many of them you have currebtly selected, and their size in both compressed and uncompressed status.

New features in 1.0a beta:

• Now supports zip comments (at the moment still read-only)
• Several new functions: Copy, move and renaming the archive, select all zip entries, invert selection
• New style of toolbar, now you can drag it out of the FilZip window as an own one, new speedbutton style
• Drag&Drop routines imlemented, but at the moment only into a zip file
• I added a context menu for the zip entries

Old features (v 0.99):

• It is tested on Win 95 & 98, and it should also run under Win NT.
•  By double-clicking onto a file in the grid, it's opened withthe program associated to this filetype.
• Simple EXE-creating: Converting the ZIP-file to an single EXE is very useful when you want to distribute your software over the internet.
• You can protect your files with a password so only persons can access them
• Add files to an existing archive
• Delete files from an existing archive
• Decompress files from a zip file
• Obtain a detailed list of files and information like compression rate, path, or size from a Zip file.
• FilZip supports both long and short 8.3 filenames
• disk spanning from and to multiple diskettes or other removable media

Note:

If you want to translate FilZip 2000 to another language, just download the message unit and translate it. It doesn't matter if you don't have Borland Delphi, you can also open it with windows notepad or any other text editor, but you have to save the file without any text formatting.

Then mail the translated file to me.

• Another thing will be to automize and simplify operations. These functions will be availible e. g. over the extract toolbutton dropdown menu. There will appear a special menu entry.
• A big dream of mine is to support more file types like arj, cab, rar and many others. I hope I will be able to give at least read-only support to most of them, and where it is possible both read and write support.
• Explorer extensions: I can't even think of how to include such funtions, I've no idea how to implement them, so if anyone has an idea or knows something about this, please tell me about it.
