9.6  Using ZIP

This feature allows you to save memory and increase the storage 

capacity of your device by compressing files in the conventional ZIP 

format. You can view and extract archive files received from various 

sources. You can also create new 

*.zip files on your device. 

Start ZIP and Open .zip files

You can use 

ZIP to either archive files or open an existing archive file 

on your device. Each time you start ZIP on your device, it searches for 

files that have the .zip file extension, and displays these files on the 

Archive List screen. 

To start ZIP on your device

1. 

Tap 

Start > Programs > ZIP. 

2. 

Open a file using any of the following:

•

  Select a file and tap 

File > Open 

Archive.

•

  Tap and hold a file and tap 

Open 

Archive.

•

  Double-tap a file.

View Archive List screen

The Archive List screen displays the 

*.zip files on your device in the  

order they are found. While adding files to an archive file, ZIP 

automatically compresses the files before adding them. On the Archive 

List screen, you can use the File menu and View menu. Some of the 

options available on the File menu also appear on the toolbar of the 

Archive List screen.
