- Short: Zip/Unzip for PPC, based on InfoZip.
- Author: Gabriele Greco
- Uploader: ggreco@iol.it
- Type: util/arc
-
- This is a quick port of Zip and UnZip from the InfoZip project, you can
- find the 68k binaries and the documentation on this directory in the
- archives Zip.lha and UnZip.lha. You can find more info about the InfoZip
- project at: http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
-
- The executables are ELF binaries, use the "ElfLoadSeg" patch or one of the
- various runelf starters to run it, it's tested only with ppc.library 45.20.
-
- I made this quick port since I need a quick and powerful archiver/dearchiver.
-
- The tests I've made shows that "zip -9" is on my 604e 180mhz about 3 times
- quicker than the 68k version on my 060/50mhz, I think this peformances can
- be improved a lot but I've not time to minimize context switches and the
- results are already very good (about 15 times quicker than a stock 4000/040).
-
- With unzip -t I was able to check a 25mb zip file in less than 15 seconds.
-
- I do this port in a few hours so maybe there is some bug, please send me
- a detailed report if you have some problem.
-
- Thanks to Steve Krueger for his great SAS/C PPC compiler!
