Your message implies that the utility is a finished product, but the information on the site indicates that it is not. I'm not bitching - though many may think so - just trying to find out what the deal is.

Renoir,

this utility is working product. The list of improvements list only minor
problems which did not prevent using it.

Many of the problems in list can be solved by simple means:

set ocx formatting propery to false to prevent attempt to format CD,
use Ctrl+Alt+Del to interrupt zipping instead of escape :) etc.
However, I'm looking for good solutions for those problems.

This code is based in in DelZip package. DelZip in most advanced free zipping
project in the world today. Many programmers use it. Powerarchiever is based on it.
So I think ZipMaster is essentially bug free.
