Hello All.
We just tested on our Server Windows NT4 SP6 PKZIP Explorer, the ultimate PKWARE's tool for compressed files administration. We downloaded the file pkze100s.exe (3.93MB), installed it easy and used intensively this fine release. If you really need for your works an advanced and sophisticated tool for control zips here is it.

ZIP files have a lot to offer: they minimize disk space usage, allow convenient storage of files, and make for great email attachments. If you're a fan of ZIP files, then you'll love the power of PKZIP Explorer. This slick    compression utility lets you efficiently manage and manipulate your archives without leaving the Windows Explorer environment. It also includes the ability to digitally sign ZIP files so you can protect your files against outside tampering. You can also use PKZIP Explorer to scan your system for ZIP archives and to create shortcuts for easy access. The program can even split archives into multiple segments for storage on any media. This is a 30-day trial version.

  Features

Functionality Overview of PKZIP Explorer 1.0:

• PKZIP Explorer is integrated – literally – inside of Microsoft Windows Explorer. User’s familiar with Windows Explorer will already understand much of PKZIP Explorer’s functionality.
• Quickly scan for .ZIP archives on your system to create archive shortcuts for easy viewing and access within the PKZIP Archive Manager.
• Easily create "PK" folder shortcuts for selected .ZIP archives within Windows Explorer as an alternative to using the PKZIP Archive Manager.
• Windows Explorer right-click context menus provide quick access to your .ZIP archives.
• Hierarchical or tree view representation of the contents of a .ZIP archive allows fast and easy creation and navigation of complex .ZIP archives.
• PKZIP Explorer Edit Mode expedites the archive file modification process with the help of instruction icons indicating when a file is to be added and/or deleted. Archives may be extensively modified before actual changes to them are saved. System overhead is minimized, accordingly, as the resources required for such modifications are only required when the archive is explicitly saved by the user.
• New Split/Span feature splits or divides archive into user specified file segment sizes for storage on any media. When a .ZIP archive reaches the limit supported by a removable medium (e.g. diskette), PKZIP Explorer automatically spans archive over multiple media.
• Improved compression with the Deflate64 algorithm, which is backward compatible with most current versions of PKZIP software including the latest PKZIP for DOS release.
• Create .ZIP archives with the Implode algorithm, which provides compatibility for PKWARE Data Compression Library^® embedded applications.
• Digitally sign your .ZIP archives and their contents using standard X.509-based digital certificates (e.g. VeriSign Digital ID’s or certificates). Digitally signed archives and archived files provide a portable method for transporting authenticated data via the Internet or removable media. To view certificate information, PKZIP Explorer is required.
• Use of Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) service by PKZIP Explorer maximizes installation flexibility (e.g. automation) allowing potential cost savings for large and small site deployments. The service supports customizable installations for Windows 2000, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4 platforms.

Installation

PKZIP Explorer is installed via a Windows Installer .MSI file which is typically distributed inside a PKSFX  installation setup file along with several auxilliary Windows Installer configuration files. These files are extracted to an intermediate folder and the installation process continues from this location. Once PKZIP Explorer is installed and functioning properly on your system, you may delete this intermediate folder to free up disk space. If you delete this intermediate folder but later want to reinstall the product, you will need to re-run the PKSFX installation setup file.
