README.AMI for zip19Lxi.zip, where "i" := "international"
THIS DISTRIBUTION DOES NOT CONTAIN THE RESTRICTED ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION
FEATURE. Users in the US can obtain that version from archives locally.
This is the file, README.AMI, which MUST ACCOMPANY the beta release files for
Zip 1.9L for Amiga. DO NOT REMOVE THIS FILE OR SPLIT UP THE ARCHIVE.
=============================================================================
This is an AMIGA BETA RELEASE 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 UnZip 5.1D is being 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:
Zip 1.9L can produce ZIP archives which can be read by UnZip running on
a variety of other platforms, including PKUNZIP 1.93a and 2.04g.
ZipSplit is a utility which can split one large Zip archive into a set
of multiple zip files, not to exceed a certain size. Each one can be
independently restored by regular zip utilities.
ZipNote allows the extraction, editing, and replacement of Zip file
comments. This is useful for documenting individual files within
a zip archive.
ZipCloak is a tool which can encrypt/decrypt all entries within a zip file
relative to a given password. Zip and UnZip themselves have encryption
and decryption capabilities, but ZipCloak allows you to operate on
a Zip file after it has been made.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These programs only run via the CLI, but can be "faked" from the workbench
with IconX or similar utility.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These executables were built with SAS/C version 6.2, using 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: You may require to increase your stack (try stack 16000).
Also, wild card selection in Zip is only supported at WB 2.04
and above, since it uses routines from asl.library.
