'UnZip' is a small zipfile extract utility. It is written to be as
small portable as possible and is intended to be starting point for
implementation of .ZIP files in non-IBM environments.
Source code is provided in C and Turbo Pascal. If you port this
program to a non-IBM system, I would appreciate a copy of the ported
source and exe files.
Usage
-----
unzip filename ;C version
unz filename ;pascal version
Example
-------
unzip test
unzip test.z
Revision history
----------------
3-8-89
Moved operating specific code to a block of lines starting around
line 180. Added code to swap bytes on host machines that store the
high order bytes in lower address locations than the low order bytes.
3-6-89
Corrected end-of-file detection in both shrink and reduce expanders.
Resulting files should now always have the correct size. Added
".ZIP" default to unzip.c to match calling conventions of unz.pas.
3-5-89
First fully operational release. Does not implement CRC
verification, but should correctly unzip all compression methods.
3-3-89
Initial alpha test release. The 'unshrink' procedure is now working
partially. It stops when the 'partial clear' code is received (this
happens after about 30k of text has already been seen). Look for a
fix to this last unshrink bug in the next week.

SourceWare: What is it?
-----------------------
SourceWare is my name for a unique concept in user supported
software.
Programs distributed under the SourceWare concept always offer
complete source code.
This package can be freely distributed so long as it is not modified
or sold for profit. If you find that this program is valuable, you
can send me a donation for what you think it is worth. I suggest
about $10.

Why SourceWare?
---------------
Why do I include source code? Why isn't the donation mandatory? The
value of good software should be self-evident. The source code is
the key to complete understanding of a program. You can read it to
find out how things are done. You can also change it to suit your
needs, so long as you do not distribute the modified version without
my consent.
Copyright
---------
If you modify this program, I would appreciate a copy of the new
source code. I am holding the copyright on the source code, so
please don't delete my name from the program files or from the
documentation.
SUPPORT
=======
I work very hard to produce a software package of the highest quality
and functionality. I try to look into all reported bugs, and will
generally fix reported problems within a few days.
Since this is user supported software under the SourceWare concept, I
don't expect you to contribute if you don't like it or if it doesn't
meet your needs.
If you have any questions, bugs, or suggestions, please contact me
