The announcement appended below was posted to c.b.i.p.d; I'm reposting it here because it may be of interest to folks. Although the message doesn't mention it, unzip 4.1 does, in fact, compile under OS/2. Use the "msc_os2" Makefile target and the .def file in the included OS/2 archive. I suspect an already-compiled version will be uploaded shortly. [It's possible that the internal archives--for OS/2, VMS, Mac, etc.-- were mistakenly left in .zip format for all the versions listed below, not just unzip41.zip. So y'all might wait a couple days before snarfing this, while I check in with our Fearless Leader. Anyone running a DOS box who does NOT have an unzipper yet can just grab the DOS executable at the same time.] Greg _____________________ I have uploaded version 4.1 of the Info-ZIP project's generic unzip utility to SIMTEL20: pd1:<misc.unix> UNZIP41.ARC Generic unzip v4.1 for free public distribution UNZIP41.TAR-Z Same as above, but compressed tar format pd1:<misc.vaxvms> UNZIP41.ARC Generic unzip v4.1 for free public distribution pd1:<msdos.zip> UNZIP41.EXE Info-ZIP's free UNZIP v4.1 for MS-DOS UNZIP41.ZIP C source code for free Unix/VMS/MS-DOS UNZIP UNZIP41.EXE is a self-extracting archive created via LHA. It contains an MSDOS executable of Info-ZIP's generic unzip utility (compiled via Borland's Turbo C v2.0), plus unzip.man and short text file. This version of unzip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes, minis, and micros (to include MSDOS, Atari ST (kinda), and Macintosh). Although highly compatible with Phil Katz's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, our objective has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Please note that UNZIP41.ARC, UNZIP41.TAR-Z, and UNZIP41.ZIP all contain the same files. They were uploaded in three different formats for your convenience.

I just checked: all the archive formats are consistent--that is, you won't need unzip to unpack unzip. :-) Greg

I just thought that I would mention that the new version of UNZIP for Os/2 does in fact work well with HPFS. If you have long file names on unix, and zip them up, you can unzip them properly on an HPFS Drive. (No 8.3 limitation) As yet there is not (At least that I've managed to get working) a zipper that will deal with special names in HPFS, but at least the unzipper works.

As a matter of fact there are. CLHARC version 1.03 handels nicely long HPFS filenames and directory trees. CLHAR103.LZH is available from funic.funet.fi and also from other OS/2 ftp sites. ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Kari Likovuori Fax: +358-0-7084441 - - University of Helsinki Phone: +358-0-7084364 - - Computing Centre DECnet: HYLK::LIKOVUORI - - Teollisuuskatu 23 Internet: likovuori@cc.helsinki.fi - - SF-00510 Helsinki kari@nic.funet.fi - - FINLAND EARN/Bitnet: likovuori@FINUH - ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Kari Likovuori Fax: +358-0-7084441 - - University of Helsinki Phone: +358-0-7084364 - - Computing Centre DECnet: HYLK::LIKOVUORI -

If you want to help, It is the same Info-Zip newsgroup as for the Unzipper. I have not managed to figure out how to modify the zipper to compile correctly on my OS/2 machine yet, and the file handling is not suitable for OS/2 at all right now.. (Uses DosFindFirst and DosFindNext in Dos, and I'm not positive what it does in Unix) Wim. -- | wbonner@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu | The Loft BBS | 27313853@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu | (509)335-4339 | 72561.3135@CompuServe.com | USR HST Dual Standard HST/V.32
