- This is not the simplest of answers, but it is a superior option to by-hand
- conversions. Under the Info-ZIP suite of utilities (ZIP 1.9 and UNZIP
- 5.0), there is a switch (-a) which properly converts CR/LF to LF on most
- platforms and LF to CR/LF under MS/PC-DOS (in other words, it knows the
- types of <eol> characters which your operating system is probably expecting
- and allows for them). These are the utilities used on Niord in our
- archives and used in the UUENCODEd files sent by FILESERV. The extra
- overhead of ZIP->transfer->UNZIP -a isn't the most pleasing, but it works
- rather well on getting between platforms.
-
- Since I've had a few questions about these utilities lately, I am appending
- the relevant description files for UNZIP, ZIP, and ZIP_PC_COMPILED (which
- are rather lengthy, but.... sorry).

- UNZIP
- -----
- The UNZIP package includes the sources of the 21 August 1992 (version 5.0)
- of UnZip, a (somewhat) PKUNZIP-compatible utility which is useful for
- uncompressing files compressed with ZIP. This version of UnZip has been
- ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes, minis, and micros
- (including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows, Amiga (not tested recently),
- and Macintosh). Although highly compatible with Phil Katz's PKZIP and
- PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the objective has been one of portability
- and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Although highly compatible with
- PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the primary objective
- has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features
- not found in the PKWare version include default extraction of directory
- trees (with a switch to defeat this, rather than the other way around);
- VMS, Macintosh and OS/2 extended file attributes; and, of course, the
- ability to run under most of your favorite operating systems.
-
- The ZIP package also available at this site properly compresses and
- archives files for later handling by ZIP. Both ZIP and UNZIP are supported
- by the Info-Zip project, which continues to improve both products.
-
- Also included is an ancillary programs: ZipInfo. ZipInfo lists technical
- information about a ZIP archive, including information file access
- permissions, encryption status, type of compression, version and operating
- system of compressing program, and the like. The VMS distribution includes
- BILF, a utility to convert files to stream-LF format (option l) or to
- convert files to fixed-length 512-byte binary record format (option b).
-
- New features in this version include support for deflation (the new,
- high-performance compression method introduced in the PKZIP 1.93 alpha);
- much faster decompression; relaxed copyright restrictions, due to rewritten
- code (see COPYING for details); multiple password guessing, for encrypted
- zipfiles; support for options stored in an environment variable, to change
- the default behavior; and a new Unix filter version of UnZip called FUnZip.
- One very notable new feature which will be appreciated by VMS users is the
- parsing of multiple-period filenames to VMS systems. Many bugs were fixed
- as well. The History file details the changes, and BUGS indicates the ones
- which have been identified, but are yet to be addressed or are being
- addressed.
-
- Due to the wide variety of machines supported and large size of the
- distribution, please note which file sets to properly retrieve.
-
- To retrieve the files necessary to compile UNZIP on your operating system,
- include the commands:
- SENDME UNZIP
- and, if necessary
- SENDME "Product set"
- where "Product set" is replaced with the operating system/language-specific
- product below (i.e., UNZIP_AMIGA, UNZIP_ATARI, UNZIP_MAC, UNZIP_MSDOS,
- UNZIP_NT, UNZIP_OS2, or UNZIP_VMS). Note that the UNZIP package alone is
- the base required for all applications and may be adequate for most U*ix
- sites.
-
- The files noted below are available for anonymous ftp retrieval as a
- complete set from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory
- [FILESERV.UNZIP]. The files available include a VMS backup saveset
- (UNZIP-50.BCK), a U*ix compressed tar file (UNZIP-50.TAR_Z; to be saved as
- UnZip50.tar.Z), and in ZIP format (UNZIP-50.ZIP).

- ZIP
- ---
- The ZIP package includes the sources of the 20 August 1992 (version 1.9) of
- ZIP, with patches through patch level 1 (26 August 1992). ZIP is a
- (somewhat) PKZIP-compatible utility which is useful for compressing and
- archiving files. Its compression performance in creating compressed
- recursive archives including directory trees which can later be fully
- recreated with prior file attributes and filedates consistently surpasses
- standard U*ix tar.Z formats. Moreover, these compressed ZIP files may be
- recreated on a number of systems, allowing more modularity and portability
- than compressed tar files.
-
- This version of zip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other
- mainframes, minis, and micros including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows
- NT, Atari, and Macintosh (the latter two have not been tested recently).
- Although highly compatible with PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of
- MSDOS fame, the primary objective has been one of portability and
- other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features not found in the PKWare version
- include creation of zip files in a pipe or on a device, VMS and OS/2
- extended file attributes, conversion from Unix to MSDOS text file format;
- and, of course, the ability to run on most of your favorite operating
- systems. And it's free.
-
- ZIP 1.9 is is compatible with PKZIP 1.93a, except when two features are
- used: encryption or ZIP file created in a pipe or on a non seekable device.
- PKZIP versions of 2.0 will support such files, and unzip 5.0 already
- supports them. (Thanks to Phil Katz for accepting suggested minor changes
- to the zip file format.)
-
- Due to the wide variety of machines supported and large size of the
- distribution, please note which file sets to properly retrieve.
-
- To retrieve the files necessary to compile ZIP on your operating system,
- include the commands:
- SENDME ZIP
- and, if necessary
- SENDME "Product set"
- where "Product set" is replaced with the operating system/language-specific
- product below (i.e., ZIP_ATARI, ZIP_MAC, ZIP_MSDOS, ZIP_NT, ZIP_OS2, or
- ZIP_VMS). Note that the ZIP package alone is the base required for all
- applications and may be adequate for most U*ix sites. To retrieve a
- specific file, such as ZIP.README, include:
- SENDME ZIP.README
- in your mail to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp retrieval of this package, it
- is available on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory
- [FILESERV.ZIP]. The sources are available in a VMS backup saveset
- (ZIP-19P1.BCK), a compressed U*ix tar file (ZIP-19P1.TAR_Z; to be saved as
- Zip19p1.tar.Z), and in ZIP format (ZIP-19P1.ZIP).
-
- PKZIP 1.93a is only an alpha version. If you wish to create zip files
- compatible with the official version of PKZIP (1.10), you must use ZIP 1.0.
- ZIP 1.9 cannot create files with the old compression method (implosion).
- You may retrieve of ZIP 1.0 via e-mail by replacing the word "ZIP" in the
- SENDME commands above with "ZIP10" or via ftp as a compressed tar archive,
- VMS backup saveset, or in ZIP format from Niord in the [FILESERV.ZIP]
- directory. For FILESERV purposes, ZIP 1.0 is wholly contained and you will
- not need an additional "Product set".
