General Information:

Windows UnArchive is a program which is used to extract and 
decompress files from ZIP and ARJ format archives.  It takes
the place of both command-line DOS unarchivers and
Windows-based front ends for those utilities.  

Windows UnArchive is the succesor to Windows Unzip, which is now
discontinued.  Those with registered copies of Windows Unzip can
still receive phone, mail, and e-mail support, and an inexpensive
upgrade option is to Windows UnArchive is available.

Features and improvements over Windows Unzip include:
		
			* 60% - 90% faster exploding than Windows Unzip
			* Support for the ARJ archive format
			* Ability to run a member file using its assocciation
			* A new "Try Out" feature, perfect for trying downloads


To use Windows UnArchive you must have MS-Windows 3.0 or greater and
you must run Windows in Standard or Enhanced Mode.  Windows UnArchive 
will not operate in Real Mode.

To try Windows UnArchive, place the files WUNA.EXE and WUNA.HLP together
in your windows directory, or some other directory in your path.  You 
can then run WUNA.EXE from Program Manager, File Manager, or any other
shell.  If you don't know how to use File Manager, or set up a program
in Program manager, please refer to your Windows manual.

Rather than explain how to use Windows UnArchive in this document, I have
put all instructions in the help file, WUNA.HLP.  To view this file you can
click the Help button in Windows UnArchive or run the command-line: 
"winhelp.exe [path]wuna.hlp" from Program Manager or File Manager.  (Look 
for the Run command under the File menu in either program.)  If you have used
Windows for any length of time at all, and know about ZIP or ARJ files, you 
should find Windows UnArchive easy to use with minimal use of the help file.  
Even if you are an experienced Windows user, please read the command-line 
section of the help file for some information on using Windows UnArchive 
with File Manager.
