I am curious if anyone knows of pkzip/unzip software that runs on Unix and is compatible with the programs of the same name on DOS. What I want to do is be able to ZIP files on my DOS machine, upload them to Unix account, and then UNZIP them for use (many are big text files). Similarly, I would like to be able to compress files on my Unix system before downloading them (at 2400 baud) to my DOS machine. Thoughts, anyone? Thanks, Ziad Munson muns@midway.uchicago.edu

Try UNZIP41.TAR-Z from the SIMTEL archives (anonymous ftp at
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil). It's located in the PD1:<misc.unix> directory.

Please execuse my igornance with this news system, this is the first time I have used it. So I'm sorry I don't know how to send the unix end of lharc to you. Darren Crane dcrane@hubcap.clemson.edu

I haven't heard of PKZIP running on Unix, but LHARC runs on DOS and on Unix. Besides that, it's free. LHARC compresses about as small as PKZIP, but takes somewhat longer.
