+Contents of the "windll" sub-archive for Zip 2.2 and later:
+
+ contents this file
+ windll16.def definition file for 16-bit Zip DLL
+ windll32.def definition file for 32-bit Zip DLL
+ windll.c Contains the entry point for the DLL, "fake" printing,
+ and password functions.
+ windll.h header file for both 16 and 32-bit DLLs.
+ zipver.h versioning information for resource file, and also
+ used by WiZ application itself.
+ windll.rc resource file for both 16 and 32-bit DLLs
+ windll.txt simplistic explanation of how to use DLL.
+ structs.h header file used by both the dll and by WiZ which defines
+ several structures passed to the dll.
+ example.c a very simplistic example of how to load the dll, and make
+ a call into it.
+ example.h header file for example.c
+
+ borland\dll <dir> contains 16 and 32 bit make files for the zip dlls.
+ borland\lib <dir> contains 32 bit make files for the zip32 static library
+ visualc\dll <dir> contains Visual C++ 5.0 project and make files for
+ zip32 dll.
+ visualc\lib <dir> contains Visual C++ 5.0 project and make files for
+ zip32 static library.
+
+The Microsoft C port has not been tested as completely as the Borland port.
+Note that Borland C++ 5.0 is full of bugs version 4.5 is recommended instead.
+If you must use Borland C++ 5.0, using the Intel optimizing compiler is
+required to avoid crashes (possibly due to a bug in the stat() function
+in the normal Borland compiler.) This does have the advantage of giving you
+a smaller code size than the 4.52 compiler.
+
+Borland C++ 5.01 has resolved many of the problems seen with 5.0, and
+can now reliably be used.
+
+Note that I have been singularly unsuccessful in getting this to compile
+and run under MSVC 1.52c.
