Create a folder in your Windows Explorer and name it ‘Pkware’.
Then 
Save it to the folder called Pkware.
After the download is complete, open the pkware folder and double click on the file named ‘Pkzws201.exe’. A window titled ‘PKZIP® for Windows – Shareware Version – Installation’ will appear. You don’t need to change any of the defaults in this window. Click the ‘Extract’ button.
If you already have a copy of PKZIP® for Windows you may get a decision window telling you that you already have certain files and asking if you would like to replace the existing file with a new one. Click the ‘Always’ button.
When the installation process is complete you will get a notice window proclaiming the ‘Extraction completed’. Click the ‘OK’ button. An Explorer window will display icons created by the installation program; close this window.
Click on ‘Start’, ‘Programs’, ‘PKWare’,
and ‘PKZIP for Windows Shareware’ to open the PKZIP® for Windows main
menu. Complete instructions for the use of this program can be obtained
in the ‘Help’ pull down menu. The instructions below are specific
to backing up data in BodyMaster and TowMaster. The functions described
below are similar to what you will do for most applications of PKZIP®
for Windows.
First you need to create a new file by clicking the button to the far left
. A ‘Save As’ window will appear.
In the ‘Save As’ window you should first give the new file a name.
In the ‘File name:’ field at the upper left, replace the ‘*’ with the name
you wish to give to the file. It should look something like ‘Backup.zip’.
In the center bottom, find the drive to which you wish to save the file
by clicking the ‘Drives:’ field and selecting the appropriate drive from
the list. In the ‘Folders:’ field start by double clicking the drive
folder, then each successive folder until you have opened the folder in
which you wish to store the new zip file. Click on the ‘OK’ button
once you have everything set.
In the ‘Add Files’ window you will select the files and folders to be compressed
in the zip file. Start by designating the drive in the ‘Drives:’
field at left center. Directly above that, in the ‘Directory:’ field
you will find the source of the files that you wish to back up.
Click the ‘Add Directory’ button to the right. The folder and it’s path will be added to the ‘Files and Directories To Zip’ field at the lower left.
Click the ‘Preferences’ button at the bottom center to establish your zip preferences. In the ‘Zip Preferences’ window leave all the settings at default except as follows. Make sure that ‘Relative Path’ is selected in ‘Path Information’ and ‘Include Subdirectories (Recurse)’ is selected in ‘Miscellaneous’. Click the ‘Save as Default’ button.
Back in the ‘Add Files’ window, click the ‘OK’ button. The ‘Default Directory’ window will pop up. Here you select the default directory for the relative path. Make sure that your drive is selected in the ‘Drives:’ field, double click on the drive folder in the ‘Directory Field:’, then click ‘OK’.
As the files are compressed you will see an ‘Add Status’ window in which
you may observer the progress. The progress meter on the bottom is
showing the compression of each file while the progress bar at the top
is showing the progress of the total zip file. When the process is
finished the ‘Cancel’ button will change to a ‘Done' button. Click
the ‘Done’ button to return to the main menu. The main menu will
now display the compressed backup file.
From the ‘PKZIP for Windows Shareware’ main menu, click the second button
from the far left to open the backup file.
Find the file to be restored
in the ‘Open’ window. Select the drive in the ‘Drives’ field, then
locate the folder that contains the backup file in the ‘Folders’ filed
by double clicking on the drive folder and each subsequent folder until
the zipped backup file appears in the field to the left. Double click
the file name to select it. This will open the zipped file in the
main menu.
Select the individual files to be restored from the zipped backup by highlighting
them. Then click on the fourth button from the left to unzip them.
In the ‘Extract’ menu you will need to select the ‘Extract to’ path.
Click the ‘Browse’ button to get the ‘Browse’ window, select the drive
in the ‘Drives:’ field, double click on the drive folder in the ‘Directory;”
field, then click the ‘OK’ button. Because the relative path is stored
in the zipped file, you do not need to include the full path in the extraction
path. Once back in the ‘Extract’ window click the ‘Extract’ button.
You may get a ‘Query’ window telling you that the file exists and asking
if you want to overwrite it; click the ‘All’ button. The files to
be extracted will be restored to their original placement and the progress
will be shown in the ‘Extract’ window. When the extraction is complete
click the ‘Done’ button.
Exit the ‘PKZIP for Windows Shareware’ main menu by clicking the ‘X’ in the upper right hand corner of the window. A ‘Please Register!’ window will appear if you have not registered your copy. Please follow the instructions to register your copy of this nifty little tool with the manufacturer.
