This file will attempt to get you, the user, to properly install Zip-Code 2.0
on your system.  Since Zip-Code uses direct sector access for its files, it
has no directory on the disk, and thus cannot be distributed in a file
archive such as SFX or SDA.  (Silly, eh?  But it's a good utility!)

First, download the UNZIP program and the four files 1!ZIP, 2!ZIP, 3!ZIP, and
4!ZIP.  The UNZIP program should go on its own floppy, and the four !ZIP
files should be placed on a separate disk, to make things easier.  They will
fit on a blank 1541 disk with 30 blocks to spare.

Now, run the UNZIP program.  Actually, UNZIP is just a super-snapshot image
of the Disk UnZip module found within the program, and it's only included for
the purpose of distributing Zip-Code.  When it comes up, you'll see a menu of
options.  The options are just fine for a single-1541 system, and I suggest
you leave them alone for simplicity, if possible.

Just press "B" at the menu to start the process.  When asked for the encoded
filename, insert the disk containing the four !ZIP files and then type in the
name "zip" and press return.  The program will scan the disk briefly, then
ask you to insert a destination disk.  Put a new, blank disk in, or at least
a disk that you want to erase.  Zip-Code always archives and unarchives
entire disks, replacing the contents.

You will be prompted for format options.  Even if you have already formatted
the destination disk, it is a good idea to format it anyway, since this puts
the proper DISK ID on the disk.  I recommend the F1: fast format option; it
is very safe.

After formatting the disk, you are prompted for the disk with the !ZIP files
on it.  Insert the disk and watch Zip-Code do its work.  The process requires
four passes, and you will have to swap disks each time.  When finished, press
Q twice to exit, or just reset the machine.

Zip-Code instructions:
======================

To start up Zip-Code, just insert the Zip-Code disk and type LOAD"*",8,1
Beware of Fast-Load cartridges which have shortcut keys that type this in for
you!  Many of them also type a RUN command in, which Zip-Code will see when
it starts up and thus it will press the "R" and "N" options on the menu for
you, throwing you into on-line help!  You'll have to hit a few keys to get
out again.

Notice the "R" option toggles between "RUN" and "HELP".  When set to "HELP",
pressing a letter on the menu will show you help on the selected item.
Please read the help, it is very informative.  When toggled back to "RUN",
pressing the letter will run the selected program.

The most often used options are "A" to zip a disk and "B" to unzip a disk.
Zip-Code also has file zipping and unzipping options, but these archives are
not as popular as ARC or SDA.

That should to it.  If you have questions, just tug my tail and I'll give
whatever help I can.
