[comp.sys.mac] unZIPper

ralph@lzfme.att.com (Ralph Brandi) (07/07/89)

Does anybody know of a program for the Mac that will decompress
files compressed in the IBM .ZIP format?  On a couple of the BBS' I
frequent, people are kind enough to upload incredibly useful text
files in a format that restricts their use to people with PCs; I'd
really like to have access to this information.  Thanks.

Work flows toward the competent until they are submerged.

I don't have a program, but if anyone wants to write one, I have the
code in C to do it, which I will send to anyone interested.  Why don't
I write it?  I've discovered the great outdoors, and the little fresh
air that is actually left after we've mutilated it.  PCBOARD based
BBS' have a repack feature in proDOOR, which allows you to extract files
from one archive and "repack" them in another (or the same).  I've talked
with the guy who wrote proDOOR, and he soon will be adding a SIT view
module.  (I sent him the code last week)
