- README.AMI file for unz51d3i (where "i" := "internationa version")
-
- THE EXECUTABLES IN THIS DIRECTORY DO NOT CONTAIN THE ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION
- FEATURE. (USA users may obtain unz51d3x from a local source if they want
- encryption).
-
- This is the file, README.AMI, which MUST ACCOMPANY the beta release files for
- UnZip 5.1D3 for Amiga. DO NOT REMOVE THIS FILE OR SPLIT UP THE ARCHIVE.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- This is AMIGA BETA RELEASE 3 of Info-Zip software, made available to the
- Amiga community for testing and individual use. However, since this software
- is being released in Beta form, there may still be some bugs. Info-Zip is
- allowing the Amiga port to be released early, because this is the first full
- Amiga port, and testing has gone well. Please realize that until officially
- released, source code for this version will not be publicly available, and
- there may be features provided which are not yet available for other
- platforms. When reporting bugs, please use the address below.
-
- Here are a few items to at least acknowledge before hauling this utility
- into your system and going wild over its inherent beauty and usefulness:
-
- - It is still BETA test quality. There could still be bugs. We will
- upload the Finished Product to BIX, Fred Fish, and Aminet as soon as
- it becomes available.
-
- - A version of Zip 1.9L will be similarly released.
-
- - The source code for this version is not readily available because it
- has not been officially released. In fact, these source patches haven't
- been applied to the master base yet.
-
- - There may be some UnZip features available here that are not yet
- available in the "official" releases for other platforms which are
- widely available on the Internet.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- General Description:

- UnZip 5.1d can process ZIP archive made by Zip running on a variety
- of other platforms, including PKZIP 1.93a and 2.04g.
-
- FUnZip is a specialized utility capable of reading from standard input
- and writing to standard output. It will take the first Zip file it

- detail are supported.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- These programs only run via the CLI, but can work with IconX.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- These executables were built with SAS/C version 6.2, with full optimization.
- I will always support the latest SAS compiler, plus one revision back.
- Currently, I support SAS 6.2 and 5.10b. Paul Kienitz keeps the code
- compatible with Manx Aztec C, and has provided some significant enhancements.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I have fully tested these executables with Enforcer and Mungwall running.
- No access violations, no illegal references, just clean execution.
-
- NOTE: It may be neccessary to increase the AmigaDOS stack to 16000.
- Once we know exactly what the stack requirement is, we will perform
- this from within the program.
