Can someone tell me where I can find something that describes the format of a ZIP file? Thanks in advance, Randy Jones

There's a text file there with the information you want. It also contains some of the pertinent algorithms. J.R.Fernandez P.S. The above is true for release 1.10. I'm not sure if it's true for the earlier releases.

The original distribution file for PKZip (current version is PKZ110.EXE or
PKZ110EU.EXE, if you believe in US export control regulations) contains
a full documentation of reading and extracting Zip format files. It does
NOT contain a description of how to create one, though :-(
But I hear someone, somewhere is already working on that. Keep it up...

Your mail bounces. You asked for documentation on ZIP files. There is a text file in the shareware version of pkz110.exe called appnote.txt. I believe it contains all the information that you are asking for. If you or anyone else is interested in receiving this file send your request via e-mail and include a valid e-mail address. ~jack_ [=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=] [ Jack C.
