UnZip for DOS (ver 6.0) Abandoned Freeware The Info-ZIP UnZip decompressor utility will decompress .ZIP compressed archive files. UnZip is similar to the popular (but not fully Y2k compliant) commercial PkUnzip ver2.04g decompression software from PKWARE. A 386 or better (32bit) computer with DPMI is required. The filename = UNZIP.zip Please note that the command line switches differ from PkUnzip. Unlike PkUnzip, you do -NOT- need to specify the "-d" switch (by default this utility preserves stored directory structures when decompressing). Typical command line usage => unzip --------------------- Zip for DOS (ver 2.32) Abandoned Freeware Sure, there are indeed better (faster/tighter) compression algorithms, but since storage space is no longer an issue of concern, compressors are now just needed to create single-file archives. For that purpose, the industry standard *.ZIP format is both sufficient and desirable. The Info-ZIP Zip compressor utility will create .ZIP compressed archive files. Zip is similar to the popular (but not fully Y2k compliant) commercial PkZip ver2.04g compression software from PKWARE. The filename = ZIP.zip Please note that the command line switches differ from PkZip. Typical command line usage => zip -r *.* +++++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTE for both programs: If there is no "TZ" (Time Zone) Environment variable, the software will issue a warning message. TZ uses the following structure: TZ=zzz[+/-]d[d][lll] where "zzz" is a required three-character string with the name of the current time zone, "[+/-]d[d]" is a required field with an optionally signed number of one or two digits specifying the local time zone's difference from GMT in hours, and "lll"is an optional three-character field with the name of the local time zone during daylight savings time. Adding the Time Zone using "set" should happen in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and is good practice (because other apps now also read the TZ settings). For example, the following command sets the time zone to Pacific Time: set TZ=PST8PDT ========================= CWSDPMI (release 7) Freeware Included is a complementary DPMI service for V2 of DJGPP. Note though that the DPMI services that come with memory management software will probably also work, precluding the need for this software. file = CSDPMI7B.zip
