First information about the binary distribution of VMS UnZip 5.30
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This archive comes in different variations:
"unz530x-vms-<cpu-compiler>-{obj|exe}.exe",
where <cpu-compiler> is "axp", "vax-decc", or "vax-vaxc", depending on
the environment used for creating the binaries.
...-obj.exe denotes object library distributions that require
a link step on the local machine.
...-exe.exe denotes "ready-to-run" executable distributions, that do
not require additional work. The caveat of these executable distribution
is that they do not run on VMS versions that are older than the system
used for building the executables (typical error message: "shareable
library mismatch").
Contents of the "vms" executables self extracting archives
for UnZip 5.30:
a) common files (documentation etc.):
00binary.vms this file
readme.vms general VMS info about using UnZip and zipfiles
readme what UnZip is; general information
copying copyrights and distribution policy
where pointer to Zip/UnZip support archives
makesfx.com command file to create self-extracting archives
unzip.doc UnZip manual page, human-readable format
unzipsfx.doc UnZipSFX manual page, human-readable format
zipinfo.doc ZipInfo manual page, human-readable format
unzip.hlp UnZip help module, for default command interface
unzip_cli.hlp UnZip help module, for VMSCLI command interface
unzipsfx.hlp UnZipSFX pre-formatted help page
b) object library distributions:
link_unz.com command procedure for the linking step
vms/unzip.opt auxiliary files required for linking step
vms/unzipsfx.opt ...
unzip.<cpu-compiler>-olb Object libraries for UnZip and UnZipSFX,
unzipsfx.<cpu-compiler>-olb default (UNIX-like) command interface
unzip_cli.<cpu-compiler>-olb Object libraries for UnZip and UnZipSFX,
unzipsfx_cli.<cpu-compiler>-olb VMSCLI (DCL like) command interface
c) executable distributions:
unzip.exe UnZip executable, default command interface
unzipsfx.exe UnZipSFX executable
unzip_cli.exe UnZip executable, VMSCLI command interface
In case you decided to fetch the object library distribution, you
have to link the executables on your local site. This requires
installed runtime support for the C runtime library, which may not be
present on older VAX systems (prior to VMS 6).
If you want to use the default (UNIX like command interface, you can
proceed straight ahead after unpacking the distribution.
When you have chosen to use the VMSCLI interface, you have to rename
the "..._cli" object libraries to "unzip.<...>" respective
"unzipsfx.<...>", since the link procedure expects the library to have
the "default" names.
The executables (object libraries) in this archive have been compiled
with the following options enabled:
* [decription support]
The environment used for compilation was:
a) On Alpha AXP : OpenVMS(AXP) 6.2; DEC C V 5.2-003
b1) On VAX : OpenVMS(VAX) 6.1; DEC C V 4.0
b2) alternatively VAX C V 3.2
One final note:
The binary files of the distribution have been archived with "saving all VMS
attributes" enabled. Please do not repack the binary part of the archives on
a non-VMS system, to prevent corruption of the files.
