1.18 01/16/2000 - A++ ZIP no longer relies on Outlook new mail notification facilities to uncompress attachments in the incoming messages (Outlook 97 was really flaky in this respect); extended MAPI notifications are used instead.
On dial-up connections, Outlook starts up faster now: A++ ZIP checks for unread messages in the Inbox on a separate execution thread.

1.17 12/15/99 - On start-up, A++ ZIP now checks all unread messages in the Inbox and unzips the attachments if necessary. Added a menu item "File | Decompress Attachments" to decompress attachments in the selected messages.

1.16 12/01/99 - Fixed access violation when A++ ZIP is running under an account in Windows NT with access rights insufficient for writing to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive.

1.15 11/08/99 - Additional option: the user can be prompted whether the attachments should be compressed on a per message basis

1.14 10/23/99 - A++ ZIP can now be installed silently without any user interaction

1.13 08/05/99 - Fixed bugs:

    Filenames with characters from the upper half of the ASCII table (umlaut, etc) are now handled correctly

1.12 04/07/1999 - Fixed bugs:

    Forwarding messages with attachments worked inconsistently  

1.11 03/29/1999 - Fixed bugs:

    Automatically decompressing password protected ZIP files causes protected files to be extracted with zero size

    Disabling and then enabling A++ ZIP via Tools | Options | Other | Advanced | Add-in manager caused an access violation.

1.1 02/04/1999 - A major rewrite. A++ ZIP now does not use any external DLLs.

1.0  11/05/1998 - First version
