     ZIP returned! Honestly, when I saw the catalog drive word 
ZXZIP, I said - again, this buggy and brake compressor slipped 
on my drive. "But, for fun, he decided to run it all the same. 
What I saw, I was somewhat amazed - it was a new ZIP. Having 
read description file, I decided to play around with it

to identify bugs (if not us,
then who is?). So first the good: there have been several modes 
of archiving (and it rulez), she is backing up

faster (a lot). You can add selected file to the archive (if 
the name of archive and it is on disk) in the old ZIP

something I do not recall such. In unpacker appeared too many 
new things, such as unpacking the printer and the screen in 
ASCII and binary vide.Imeetsya opportunity simply dock the file 
to the archive is not packaging it (for example, has already 
bagged files 80% does not make sense pytatsya pack

below). As noted in the dock on the ZIP, it is possible to roll 
around in the archives 512 files (!). The program starts

conducts avtodetektsiyu printer interface (ZX Lprint III, 
Scorpion, Centronics), it is possible to connect your driver. 
Management in almost prog changed since the first ZIP 'and all

the same "fever" + KEMPSTON MOUSE. During the test program I 
have found a nasty bug (or maybe not a glitch

maybe it's just a turboloader).
A glitch appears in the following: when a disk error (in my 
case, it should be be Read Error), ZIP will not prompt

error and a standard set of actions
(Nefig nafig and do not care), and with a blunt insistence 
tried to read disk.Podozhdav minutes twenty I, and not waiting 
for results by clicking on the main button on the computer. 
Frankly, the new version ZIP 'a me liked it. Especially 
unpacking not only on the disc, you can now comment on the 
files (a normal text file, not a short line). So my advice: 
look for a new ZIP and Enjoy ....
