More Hints and Tips

Here are more Hints and Tips:

To switch to another program during an archive operation, click on the window for the other program, or hold down the Alt key and press the Tab key repeatedly until the program's icon is selected. Note: you cannot use the WinZip® system menu or minimize button during archive operations. However, you can minimize WinZip by opening the Miscellaneous tab in the Configuration dialog, checking Display status dialog for long operations, and clicking the dialog's minimize button.
You can move or copy files from one archive to another by opening multiple WinZip windows, one for each archive, and dragging files from one to the other.
If you are unable to open multiple WinZip windows, uncheck Reuse WinZip Windows in the Options menu.

Long Filename Tips

The current versions of most optional external archivers used by WinZip are DOS programs and do not support long filenames. Therefore, WinZip will pass the short 8.3 version of all long file and folder names to these external programs. Since normal 8.3 names are usually more meaningful than the shortened versions of long filenames, it is recommended you use standard 8.3 filenames when working with external archivers.
