There is work on that, and I would guess (but not promise) a limited zip
(possibly just implosion or just shrinking) for Unix in about two months.

No,there is definitely no ZIP for Unix but there IS an UNZIP program for Unix. P.S. Phil Katz of PKZIP fame has been reluctant to release source code for PKZIP.The UNZIP part was done by someone else. Jack Lupic Scarborough,Ont.,CANADA

If this was done, then programs like PKZIP could be run under this emulator, on Unix, and Unix might gain some useful tools that it otherwise couldn't have (because the grinches refuse to release source). -- Ken Hendrickson N8DGN/6 kjh@usc.edu ...!uunet!usc!pollux!kjh

For 386 Unixes, there are a couple of products that do this (VP/ix and DosMerge
come to mind immediately). Both work reasonably well. Read comp.unix.msdos to
find out all about them :-)

There is a program called 'dos' for Sun 386 and Sparc that emulates IBM-AT (CGA/hercules ?). PKZIP would work there (I have tried with some IBM graphics progs, and it works). -- budi -- Budi Rahardjo <rahardj@ccu.umanitoba.ca> <rahard@ee.umanitoba.ca> <rahard@budi.ee.umanitoba.ca> Electrical Engineering - University of Manitoba - Canada

Both work reasonably well. Read comp.unix.msdos to >find out all about them :-) Certainly it can't be difficult to write zip/unzip routines on UNIX. I for one use a unix machine all day (Sun sparc) and get my stuff over the net, then take it home on floppies. A zip for native UNIX would be helpful for me to test the integrity of a file before waiting till I get home that it is corrupt and I have to download it again.

There already is an unzip for Unix. It can be found in most of the archives and is useful for testing and unpacking zip files under unix. A *zip* for unix would be used to create archives for ms-dos users in ZIP format, and I suppose to create archives for unix users using the unix unzip, although that's far less common a use. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473

UNZIP for Unix will do this for you. It's available from SIMTEL20, in directory pd3:<misc.unix>UNZIP310.TAR-Z. It works on many different flavors of Unix.

Since you find it so easy why not knock one off on your lunch hour. About 30 people on the unzip mailing list have been working on getting the unzip right. Making it work on one machine *is* fairly easy, but making it postable is not. The format is highly machine dependent as to byte oreder, bit order, struct padding, and word length. We could really use someone who has a better understanding than we do to show us why we have been struggling so long to get it right. Be sure to have it work on 36, 48, and 64 bit machines...

1. Where would one get it?
2. Does it work with normal ASCII terminals, or does it need a SUN
monitor or X terminal?
