WarpZip is the latest in Zip and OS/2 "Packed" file management for the OS/2 Warp family. Beneath WarpZip's stunning interface lie revolutionary and powerful functions that will save both time and effort and boost your productivity.
WarpZip comes fully functional for your evaluation. The installation program lets you decide where files go and writes it's own uninstallation script for you at that time. It will not leave files behind after an uninstall unless you want it to.
The new WarpZip v3.6 is available for download and evaluation from the PillarSoft website.
OTHER NOTES
We have had quite a bit of trouble with our website and e-mail delivery since our providers server changes a few months ago. After a lengthy battle with Network Solutions, we have finally gotten our other nameserver updated and it appears that the website is working for the half of the world that couldn't access it before. We are getting the other half of our mail again too!
Please excuse us for any inconvenience you may have suffered in the interim and rest assured that we are still here. :-)
We have updated the PillarSoft Suite archive with the latest version of WarpZip (short announcement preceded this one) as well so feel free to update from the PillarSoft website. WarpZip and most of the programs contained in the PillarSoft Suite are available for evaluation purposes and may be purchased via BMTMicro.com.

It should be possible to decompress them without installing the demo - but I don't know how (I'm not so familar with Windows).
This PM utility strips HTML codes from Web pages, leaving only the text and optionally the URLs. While the layout of tables and lists is lost during stripping, data is sorted to separate lines for legibility. It now translates iso8859-1 character codes (windows codepage) to codepage 437 or codepage 850 character codes.
Although Netscape will save a web page as plain ascii text, it also saves the layout of the page. Using PMStripper as the HTML source viewer with Netscape will make it easier obtain just the text of an article posted on a web page.
New in PMStripper 1.26
Added accelerator keys Alt+1 , Alt+2, Alt+3, Alt+C, and Ctrl+E
Alt+1 toggles the "discard the first 100 lines" option and then reloads the source file
Alt+2 toggles the "discard the first 200 lines" option and then reloads the source file
Alt+3 toggles the "discard the first 300 lines" option and then reloads the source file. Alt+C performs the same function as ALT+3. Since "discard the first 300 lines" works best for the CNN site, I selected Alt+C as a reminder.
Ctrl+E marks the text from the current cursor position to the end of text.
The following key combinations work in PMStripper and many other OS/2 applications.
New in PMStripper 1.25
Added menu entries under "Strip Options" to discard the first 100, 200, or 300 lines. Using one of these options may eliminate most of unwanted text from sidebar links that appear on the left side of many web pages. On some sites (such as CNN.com) the sidebar links can result in several pages of text and blank lines that are not part of the wanted information on a web page.
New in PMStripper 1.24
Added 'Translate iso8859-1 character codes' option under 'Strip Options'. Fixed bug in how html comments are stripped.
New in PMStripper 1.23
Added 'Hard code word wrap' menu item under "File" on the menubar. This option adds CR-LF pairs to each line in the display window to make the current word wrap permanent. This should make it easier to print the stripped text.
