What is an Archive or Zip File, Anyway?

Zip files are "archives" used for storing and distributing files, and can contain one or more files. Usually the files "archived" in a Zip are compressed to save space. Zip files are often used to:

· Distribute files on the Internet: Only oneZip file transfer operation (download) is required to obtain all related files, and file transfer is quicker because the archived files are compressed.
·
· Send a group of related files to an associate: When you distribute the collection of files as an archive, you benefit from the file grouping and compression as well.
·
· Save disk space: If you have large files that are important butseldom used, such as large data files, simply compress these files into an archive and then unzip (or "extract") them only when needed.
·
· What Does WinZip Do?
·
· WinZip makes it easy for Windows users to work with archives. WinZip features an intuitive point-and-click drag-and-drop interface for viewing, running, extracting, adding, and deleting files in archives with a standard Windowsinterface, and also provides a Wizard interface that further simplifies the process of working with Zip files.
·
· About WinZip's Setup Options
·
· During the WinZip setup procedure you are asked to select either the WinZip Classic interface or the WinZip Wizard interface.
·
· WinZip Classic: The powerful WinZip Classic interface is preferred if you have a general understanding of Windows andof Zip files. Most users will be quite comfortable with its Explorer-like interface once the basics of Zip files are understood.

· WinZip Wizard: The WinZip Wizard guides you through some of the most common operations involving Zip files. If you are new to Windows or unfamiliar with Zip files, you may wish to start with the Wizard and switch later to the more powerful Classic interface.

Inthe following sections we will describe the Classic and Wizard interfaces. With either interface, the setup panels provide information about the options offered. Whichever setup option you choose, you can easily switch between the two interfaces at any time with a single click, and you can always change the default settings later.
