                          About This Release
                          ==================
   There  was  a  more  or less serious bug in the bitmap reader Zoom!
used  to  determine which blocks were to be skipped before compression
causing  Zoom!   to  emit  partly corrupt archive files.  This bug has
been  fixed,  thanks  to Michael Beer who discovered this undocumented
feature  and  who was able to send me a sample disk which produced the
error!
   Older  Zoom!   releases will still work correctly provided that the
`clear  unused  blocks'  option  is not in effect.  Strange enough the
error  was  happening  at  random  and very rarely as well; your older
Zoom!  archives may still be intact.
   This  release  is  contained in a new self-extracting archive which
was  put together in roughly two hours time.  Nevertheless the archive
file  is  smaller  than  in the previous release (about 20 KBytes).  I
will  try  to  rewrite  the  archive  utility  to use Lh in the future
(believe  it or not, the archive header was written in `C' and is just
604 bytes in size).

                                  -

   This  release is being distributed in the form of a self-extracting
archive  file.  To obtain the distribution files, enter the Shell/CLI,
type  `ZOOM.EXE' and press return, the following files will be created
in the current directory (it may take quite a while):

                    Release Date: 09-Jan-91, 14:50

         Zoom           (CRC = $2E79D5C3, Size = 55200 Bytes)
         Zoom.info
         ZoomCheck      (CRC = $2538C75C, Size = 18164 Bytes)
         ZoomCheck.info
         CRC            (CRC = $4F5177B9, Size =  4104 Bytes)

         Zoom.doc       (Size = 30073 Bytes)

   Use  the CRC utility to verify if the `ZOOM.EXE' file is in correct
state  (enter `CRC ZOOM.EXE' and press return).  The WRAP checksums of
all executable files should be zero.

                    Release Date: 09-Jan-91, 14:53

      ZOOM.EXE (CRC = $2B097302, WRAP nonzero, Size 59344 Bytes)

   If  the  checksums  do  not match the given sample, the archive has
been accidentally corrupted or deliberately modified!
   If  you  don't  trust the checksums, send me a letter or electronic
mail (adresses listed below) and ask for the `factory checksums':
