       If you press Enter on a .ZIP, .ARJ, .RAR, or a .LZH file, Wiretap
       will unpack the archive into a subdirectory with a filename common
       to the archive name. This will only work if the decompressor is in
       your MS-DOS path variable.

A list of Known Bugs:

       Smooth scrolling looks a bit jerky on some monitors, and on
       all computers in a dos box under Microsoft Windows (tm).
       To remedy this, simply select "Normal" scrolling by pressing F5.

       Ansivga's colors mess up sometimes, but for some reason fix
       themselves after you scroll down a few times. I've traced this into
       a bug in pascal. The C++ version does not inherit this problem.

       You cannot smoothscroll in 28,30,or 50 line text modes. I have
       gotten 50 to work, working on 28 and 30.

       Working on support for RIP, FLI, BMP, JPG, GIF, and PCX. Also adding
       support for passing filenames to external viewers.
