1.  INTRODUCTION

Polar ZIP Component is the most powerful way to incorporate Zip and
Unzip functionality into your applications. Version 3.0 includes 
32-bit ActiveX control and DLL with over 60 functions, and it's designed
to resolve all the issues regarding zipping and unzipping requirements.

Polar ZIP Component is perfect for automating backups, preparing files for
transmission, or developing custom installers...

The major enhancement of Polar ZIP Component 3.0 is its capability to create
multiple archives on removable volumes (disk spanning) as well as on
non-removable disks (multifile zip creation). It also enables you creation of
self-extracting archives, testing and fixing corrupted zip files, and much
more...

5.  DISTRIBUTING APPLICATIONS
Please read the license agreement included in your package. You are bound by the licensing
restrictions contained in this agreement.


6.  REDISTRIBUTING APPLICATIONS
The table below shows all the files necessary for POLAR ActiveX controls to operate properly.
If you have purchased Polar ZIP Component and are deploying an application, you must ensure
that the first three groups of files listed below exist on your client's machine and
are the proper version. The correct versions of these files are provided on the product CD.
If your client's machine has older versions of these files, you should update them.

	1  	PolarZIP.ocx
			PolarZipSpan.dll (if your app is using functions for multi disk spanning)

	2	MFC42.DLL
		MSVCRT.DLL

	3	OLE32.DLL
		OLEAUT32.DLL
		OLEPRO32.DLL

	4	KERNEL32.DLL
		USER32.DLL
		GDI32.DLL
		COMDLG32.DLL
		VERSION.DLL
		ADVAPI32.DLL
		
ATTENTION:		
If you are using PolarZIP.dll than you don't need these external dependencies, 
because PolarZIP.dll is a pure Win32 DLL!

PolarZIP.ocx, PolarZIP.dll and PolarZipSpan.dll are the Polar ZIP Component 
re-distributable files. This file may be in the Windows system directory, on the 
computer's path, or for WinNT and Win95, in the directory specified by your 
application's Per Application Path key in the Registry Database. The .OCX file 
must be registered on each user's machine. The Polar ZIP Component Setup program 
registers the OCXs on your development machine. To register an OCX on the user 
machine, use the REGSVR32.EXE utility. This utility is available from Microsoft. 
To run this utility type the following at the command prompt on each user's machine:


regsvr32 filename

The second group of files are Microsoft redistributable files necessary for the
ActiveX control to operate. Your programming environment should have installed
and registered these files. If they were not installed, or they are older versions,
the Polar ZIP Component installer updated and registered them. Copy these files from
your development machine to your users machine.

Our ActiveX controls require OLE2 support to be installed on a machine. In order
to run an application containing one of our controls you must ensure OLE2 has
been installed on the user's machine. The third group of files in the table list are
the OLE2 files accessed by Polar ZIP Component. Normally, copying these files
to the user machine is all that is required.

The fourth group of files should be present on any system running Windows. You should
not remove or update these files. They are included only to form a complete list of
filed needed to use Polar ZIP Component.




7.	 USING THE UNINSTALLER
Polar ZIP Component files can be removed from your system with the Windows 95
Add\Remove Programs item or by double-clicking the UnInstaller icon in the
Program Manager folder. Using the UnInstaller will remove all files and
Registration Database entries made during the installation. If you are using
Visual Basic, it will create a support cache file (********.OCA) for each control,
that must be removed manually.

The UnInstaller creates a log of operations during the installation which it
"undoes" to "uninstall" the product. You should run the UnInstaller before running
the Installer additional times. If you run the installer a second time without
using the UnInstaller first, only the options selected in the second install will
be written to the UnInstall log and later be uninstalled. For the UnInstaller
to work properly, you should reinstall your original options in addition to the
options you wish to install.

The Windows Start menu is not always updated immediately by the operating system.
This means that sometimes uninstalled shortcuts do not always disappear right away.
Because of this limitation, an uninstalled shortcut can temporarily continue to
appear in the Start menu even though it really has been uninstalled. If you wait
for a while, run some other programs, or restart the system, the shortcut should
eventually disappear from the Start menu.

To verify that the program has been uninstalled:

1.	From the Start menu, go to Settings/Taskbar/Start Menu Programs/Advanced.
2.	When the Explorer displays, click on the existing program folder.
3.	Check to see if the shortcut exists in the program folder. If it does not,
	then the shortcut has been uninstalled correctly, but the Start menu has not
	been updated correctly.
