*** WELCOME TO THE PKZIP INSTALLATION PROGRAM ***      

This program will install the Sponsored SHAREWARE version of
PKZIP 2.70 for Windows. This version is intended for use on 
Windows 9x/NT 4 running on a x86/Pentium processor.  

It is strongly recommended that you exit all programs before 
proceeding.

You may click the Cancel button at any time to exit this program. 


*** INSTALLATION ***

Click the Next button to view and/or manually specify extraction 
(e.g. destination directory) parameters. When you are finished 
viewing and/or specifying the installation parameters, click the
Finish button to complete the installation process.

If you are installing over an existing version of PKZIP for Windows,
you may wish to uncheck the check boxes labeled "Create program 
group(s)" and "Register extensions(s)" to avoid conflicts with your
existing configuration settings.

If you are installing this Shareware software onto a system where a 
previously installed Registered version of PKZIP for Windows resides,
you may wish to select an alternate destination (i.e. installation) 
directory to avoid overwriting your Registered software.

NOTE: Depending on the configuration of the self-extracting file
and the state of the self-extracting file dialog, some of the 
installation parameters may not be configurable and will be grayed
accordingly.

*** SPONSORED MESSAGING DISPLAY ***

This version of PKZIP for Windows displays banner advertisements in
the lower portion of the main application window. Clicking on the 
banner advertisement will automatically launch your default web 
browser and forward you to it's sponsor's web page. Fully registered
versions of PKZIP for Windows do not display banner advertising. 

Banner advertisements are provided via the Adgateway service which is
developed and maintained by Conducent Technologies, Incorporated. 
PKWARE is currently distributing version 4.0 of Conducent's  
Adgateway software. The Adgateway service utilizes a program named 
TSADBOT.EXE which runs as an unattended background process on your
system. This program will periodically contact the Adgateway server
to exchange advertising display information. It will NOT record or
communicate information about the applications you are using or the
sites you have visited. Its sole purpose is to transmit and receive
(via your Internet connection) information necessary for the 
operation of the Adgateway service. The specific information 
exchanged with the Adgateway server consists of:

IP Address of the Adgateway Server (not the IP address of the user's
system)

User ID (4 byte integer that is assigned to the user's system by the
Adgateway server)

Application Name (application identifier internal to PKZIP for 
Windows)

Verification and security code associated with the application using 
the Adgateway software (i.e. PKZIP for Windows)

Ad statistics (information on the accumulated impressions since the 
last time your system communicated with the Adgateway server)

The Adgateway server also records the IP network mask (not the 
specific IP address) of the users domain.  

Area Code if you are using a dial-up connection.

Operating system version (major, minor, and subminor information).

The Domain from which you are connecting.

Under normal operations the Adgateway service runs unattended and 
does not interfere with system usage. Some network access 
configurations, such as metered ISDN connections, may observe 
increased network activity which may result in additional connection
charges from your ISDN provider. If this causes a problem, or if you
experience other conflicts while using this product, please uninstall
the software immediately and report the problem to PKWARE Technical
Support (support@pkware.com). For continued use, we encourage you to
purchase a Registered version of PKZIP for Windows which does not 
display banner advertising.
