Unzip It: Project 10-6


You learned that PKZip is a shareware utility for compressing files. Section 9.5 (see pages 9-24 to 9-25) describes how to use it. For this project, you must download the PKZip shareware in file pkz204g.exe to a floppy disk. You should also download the file surprize.zip

After you download these files, you must install PKUnzip to your floppy disk. To do this follow these steps:

1. In Windows 3.1, from Windows File Manager pull down the File menu and select Run, or in Windows 95, from the Start menu select Run.
2. In the Run box type a:pkz204g to set up the PKZip software.
3. Read and pay attention to the shareware agreement.
4. Use PKZip to unzip the file surprize.zip on your floppy disk. Once you have unzipped the file, follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to complete the assignment.
5. Hint: You can use Windows Notepad to view the contents of the readme.txt file.
