zip-2.3: description + notes
zip is a compression and file packaging/archive utility. Although highly
compatible both with PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and
with Info-ZIP's own UnZip, our primary objectives
have been portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features not
found in the PKWARE version include:
- creating zipfiles in a pipe or on a device
- VMS and OS/2 extended file attributes
- conversion between Unix, MS-DOS and Macintosh text file formats
- the ability to run on most of your favorite operating systems.
