[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Where can I find ZIP

tim@lenti.med.umn.edu (10/29/90)

Is there an ftp site where I can find the ZIP program for
file compression and uncompression?

I am trying to extract the executable from "umoria.zip"

E-mail would be appreciated

Thanks,

/pc/pd2/pkz110eu.exe at uwasa.fi (and Simtel20)

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send
prerecorded instructions on request (provided that your email
address is reachable).

If I may follow up with a clarification here, having just obtained the
files in question from simtel20...

When you ftp the file, be sure you are in 'binary' mode.
After getting pkz110eu.exe you execute that file by itself.
This will 'explode' the file into about 15 individual files that you
will actually use to compress and uncompress (i.e. more .EXE files).
One of the files is a manual which you can use for further reference.

I hope this helps,
Laurel
