But unzip (at least) does exist for Unix courtesy of the Info-ZIP project - I use it on my machine regularly. Try wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/unix-c or something like that for the package unzip41.tar-z. From comments in the unzip package, it looks like there is (or soon will be) a zip program. I have had zero problems bringing stuff from my 386 at home and unzipping it on the sun4's we have at work. Because I rarely transport things from work to home, my present lack of zip is not a big deal (I use tar and compress if I have to). -- Mike Ressler - Infrared Photon Jockey ressler@galileo.ifa.hawaii.edu If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger sledgehammer.

LHARC compresses about as small as PKZIP, but >takes somewhat longer. There is a free working UNZIP for Unix - unzip41, which was recently posted to comp.sources.misc. The Info-ZIP group has a working free ZIP program for Unix. It's still in Beta test. If you would like to help in Beta testing and porting, send email to Info-ZIP-Request@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL asking to be added to the mailing list.
