Welcome to Zip Manager

Zip Manager is a powerful and easy-to-use file compression program for the Nokia 9500 Communicator.

Zip Manager allows you to handle zip files in a convenient way. It offers a graphical interface to add, extract, and open files, as well as to perform other commands. If you are new to zip files, the wizards will guide you.

Zip Manager supports the following zip file formats:

WinZip up to version 8.1, InfoZip up to version 2.2, and

PkZip up to version 6.0.

Zip archives

Zip archives are files that contain other files. The files in a zip archive are compressed to reduce their file size. Zip archives have the file extension ZIP. Archives make it easy to group files, which can make transferring and copying many times faster.

In Zip Manager, add means to compress files and add them to an archive. Extract means to decompress files in an archive, creating separate files on a disk. Sometimes the terms zip or pack are used instead of add, and unzip or

unpack instead of extract.

Zip archives are typically used in the following cases:

• Many files available on the Internet and with electronic services are distributed as zip archives. This way only one file transfer operation (download) is required to obtain all related files, and file transfer time is reduced because the compressed files in an archive are smaller in size.

• You may need to send a group of related files. Rather than distributing individual files, it is often easier to distribute the files as an archive to benefit from the file grouping and compression.

• Some important files may not be used often. To save disk space, you can compress these files into an archive

when they are not used, and decompress (extract) them only when needed.
