Is there an updated version of unzip or a real pkzip, pkunzip for xenix? The version of unzip I have always gives crc errors for files that have been zipped on the newer releases of pkzip for dos. Also if such a beast exists, could you tell me where I can FTP it from? Thanks in advance. -- +--------[ Paul Martin at P.S.M.

Is there a PKZIP compatible out there that works under SCO 386 XENIX? If so could someone PLEASE send me a copy. It is desperately need, thank you! Glenn Ford BBS: (301)-972-6131 UUCP: ..uunet!ocsmd!stsim!glenn

Not yet, though I understand that there's one in the making. The only other alternative I can see is using vpix to run the dos version... david -- UUCP: ...!munnari!csource!david INTERNET: david@csource.oz.au Via FidoNet 3:632/348, Central Source ICBS, Melbourne, Australia

We run it under BSD 4.3 with no problems. It "almost" works under Xenix, but requires first installing a set of "standard" directory routines. I have it all ready to do, but am just looking for a spare hour or two or three to do it. Ron. ============================================================================= | Ronald J.

I have arc (with "squueze", aka pkunpak), but I am looking for PKZIP which has MUCH better compression ratio. As much as 20% better in some cases. I know of ZOO, which is OK, and COMPRESS, but Would like to get a PKZIP compatible, as the compression ratio is by far the best I have seen to date.

[ Zip for XENIX ] Maybe there aren't much DOS users around here but: The current PKZIP (1.02) uses a different compression algorithm than the versions before 1.00. This was done to keep up with the competition of LHarc, wich generated smaller files than PKZIP 0.9x. The 'new' ZIP is substantially slower, but still faster than LHarc, and can compress a little smaller than LHarc. (Just my general impressions / tests) The unzip that is available for UNIX only decompresses the old format .ZIP files. I've got it, if anyone wants it, mail me. Meanwhile, I am interested in an (un)zip that can handle the new ZIP format. Anyone? The only decent archiver for UNIX now is zoo, but the compression ratios are not good enough, and the user interface is too clumsy. I'm really looking to switch. Richard (...!hp4nl!neabbs!richard)

Well I hate to put a damper on you, and i must confess I love PKZIP 1.02 but LHarc does compress smaller. I still like ZIP, but I'm growing kinda fond of LHarc.... note it is a tad slower than zip though.
