`WinZip` is part of the CategoryAplTree project.

<<TableOfContents>>

|| !WinZip was once a part of the CategoryAplTree project before it was suspended in September 2016.||

The reason is that it does not behave when installed under a modern Windows system: it retires some OS-system DLLs, and it does not even bring them back when un-installed. In other words. it compromises a Windows system. See SevenZip as an alternative.

== Warning ==

Note that WinZip issues an error when you pass something like this with the flag to preserve the directory structure:

{{{
C:\My\folder1\file.txt
C:\My\folder2\file.txt
}}}

According to the company behind !WinZip this is nit a bug but by design. Therefore `WinZip` will issue a DOMAIN ERROR if you have to files with the same name in your list of files to be zipped.

== Overview ==

The class "WinZip" relies on an installed version of [[http://winzip.com/win/en/index.htm |WinZip]] '''and''' the command line extension. If both are installed on your machine then will will have the two executables `WZZIP.EXE` (for zipping) and `WZUNZIP.EXE` (for unzipping) somewhere, typically in C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZip.

The class makes it very easy to zip as well as unzip stuff.

== Examples ==

Zip all files in C:\!MyFolder\ recursively into myZipFile.zip:
{{{
 (rc more)←#.WinZip.Create 'C:\MyFolder\*' 'myZipFile.zip'
}}}

Zip two files nto myZipFile.zip:
{{{
(rc more)←#.WinZip.Create ('C:\file1' 'C:\file2') 'C:\MyZipFile'
}}}

Unpack C:\!MyZip.zip into C:\!MyUnzippedFiles\:

{{{
 (rc more)←#.WinZip.Extract 'C:\MyZip.zip' 'C:\MyUnzippedFiles\'
}}}
