[comp.windows.ms.programmer] ZIP on Unix

umross27@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Chris Ross) (02/20/91)

This is probably the wrong place to post but it is relevant.  Often I 
download stuff from CICA/etc to the UNIX box here at the University.  
However, CICA uses .ZIP and not .zoo so I have to download all the files
simply to read the .readme files and figure out what I really want.

What I would like is simply a program that lists the contents of the .zip
file.  Not an extractor (though that would be nice too ;-) ) But something
that lets one look at what is in the .zip file.

Thanks in advance.

Check out wuarchive.wustl.edu (anonymous).  The file you want is 
unzip.tar-z and is in the mirrors/unix-c/file-mgmt directory.  There 
is also an arc-progs directory with arc and zoo, why zip is in another 
is a mistery to me.

I installed it and it works great.  Test/List and Extract.
