- Come on...he said ZIPCODE not PKZIP...Zipcode just compiles a c=64/c=128
- disk into 4 separate files, calling them:
- 1!Filename
- 2!Filename
- 3!Filename
- 4!Filename
-
- Then, when you DL these type files you load up Unzip and you unzip them
- from there. Pretty simple. There are many versions floating around out
- there. There is ZIPCODE which is a whole disk and there are smaller
- utils which are like 26 blocks that do the same thing. Like '81unzip...
- If you need 'em, let me know. I have'em all.
