Typical WZCat Windows Appearance.

WZCat Windows 3.x program was written because I was having trouble keeping track of over 300+ ZIP files and over 2500+ compressed elements contained in those ZIP files. Because I had these files spread over several disk drives and dozens of directories, I would forget that I already had a file or element and would reload it from a BBS, and thus would have a duplicate copy of that file. Using WZCat, you can locate all ZIP files on one or all disk drives or a specific directory, see what elements are in those ZIP files, and even locate duplicate element names. Once you identify these duplicate elements, you can delete the ZIP file or files that hold them.

Requires VBRUN300.DLL.
