ZIP files may contain comments that can be read from within WinZip, such as:

* Software installation instructions and release notes
* Software development team production credits
* A plug for where the software package was downloaded

WinZip can be configured to automatically display such comments, or you can read them by selecting "View" - "Comment" or pressing SHIFT+G.

A "Comment" dialog box will appear displaying the ZIP file's comments, if any.

* Click the "Font" box to change fonts so the comment is more readable.

* To change the comment, simply replace the text and click "Save".

* To clear the comment, click the "Clear" button.

When done, click "Close" to close the "Comment" dialog box.
