Features

ZipStream is an exciting new concept in automatic file compression which 
takes full advantage of OS/2's power, features, functions and reliability. 

ZipStream's Features: 

Supports HPFS and FAT File Systems. 

Any OS/2 supported file system can be utilised. 

Support Diskettes. 

Diskettes don't have to be specially formatted, just attach and 
compression is available. 

Supports LAN File Systems. 

Any LAN file system that is mapped as a drive letter can be used with 
ZipStream.  Additionally, there are no Server overheads as all compression 
operations are performed by the work station. 

Supports CD-ROM File Systems. 

If you have the facility to write your own CD-ROM's, you can compress the 
files first and then achieve at least double the storage capacity of the 
CD-ROM transparently. 

Supports Long File Names and Extended Attributes. 

No restrictions are imposed other that those imposed by OS/2's native File 
Systems.  Fully supports Extended attributes and is compatible with OS/2's 
Workplace Shell. 

Automatic Compression of New Files. 

Newly created files or any files copied to the compressed drive letter are 
automatically and transparently compressed. 

File Based Compression not Disk Based. 

Being file based, you have complete control of what files are compressed 
and what are not, that is, uncompressed files can reside on the compressed 
drive. 

Ultra High Compression Ratios. 

The use of state of the art 32 bit implementation and background 
compression techniques, achieves compression ratios equal to that of 
popular archiving programs. 

Native OS/2 32 bit Application. 

This isn't a port of a DOS compression application, it has been built 
specifically for OS/2 and designed to fully utilise the features of OS/2. 

No Reformatting Required and No Container Files. 

Just attach to a drive letter or path and compression is available.  Using 
existing File Systems means reliability.
