I. INTRODUCTION:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 This README is intended to provide a quick procedure to install PKZIP
 for IBM i version 17.0.0.

 This product is designed to run on the following platform(s):

   IBM i version 7.3.0 and above (RISC only).

 For more information, you may refer to the "PKZIP for IBM i System
 Administrator's Guide".
 This README describes the process of installing PKZIP for IBM i, after
 saving the self-extracting zip file to a PC. The process consists of
 building the PKZIP for IBM i 17.0.0 library and licensing PKZIP for
 the trial.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You should have downloaded a file on your PC called "pkzi1700073.exe".
 This is a self-extracting ZIP file. Once you double-click on the
 file, the files, by default, will extract to C:\PKWARE\pkzi1700073\*.

 PRODUCT BINARIES

 PKW17073P.SAV  - This is the binary SAVF that needs to be
 transferred to the iSeries.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. USING FTP TO THE IBM i:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 After downloading the zip file to your PC extract the save
 file from the zip file. The save file is named PKW17073P.SAV.
 Be sure to note the path to this file, as it will be required
 in your FTP session (defaults to C:\PKWARE\pkzi1700073\PKW17073P.SAV).

 Start an IBM i 5250-type session and sign on with sufficient
 authority to perform the commands used below:

 Create a save file on the iSeries - CRTSAVF YourLIB/PKZIP1700
 The TCP/IP network server must be running (or start the TCP/IP
 network server with STRTCP).

 Start a PC-based FTP session with your normal FTP procedures and
 send the PC file to the iSeries SAVF you created in BINARY mode,
 or run the following:

 * Type "FTP" at the command prompt

 * Open the iSeries IP Address and sign on
 (ftp> open 208.222.150.11 as an example)

 * Next, type "BIN" at the command line
 (this will transfer the file as a Binary object)

        * Now type the "PUT" command.  Example:

          PUT C:\PKWARE\pkzi1700073\PKW17073P.SAV YourLIB/PKZIP1700

        - Note - In the command above:

                "C:\PKWARE\pkzi1700073\PKW17073P.SAV"

                - Is the local path\file name on the PC

                "YourLIB/PKZIP1700"

                - Is the remote library/file name on the iSeries.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. RESTORING PKZIP FOR IBM i:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Restore the PKZIP for IBM i product from the save file:

   RSTLIB SAVLIB(PKW17073P) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(YourLIB/PKZIP1700)
      RSTLIB(your_pkzip_lib).

 (Where "your_pkzip_lib" - is the name you want to call the restored
 library)

 There should be a total of 53 objects restored.
 Delete the save file:

   DLTF YourLIB/PKZIP1700

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 At this point, the PKZIP for IBM i product library should exist on the
 IBM i.  The PKZIP for IBM i library should now be added to the
 library list:

   ADDLIBLE your_pkzip_lib

 If you keep the PKZIP library name as PKW17073P (default), then you do not
 need to take this additional step. If you change the name from PKW17073P
 to something else, then you will need to run this last step.

 From the command line, type:

   CALL PKZSETLIB your_pkzip_lib

 (Where "your_pkzip_lib" is the name of the PKZIP library you restored.
  This will link the objects to your PKZIP library name.)
