Zip is a highly versatile compression and file packaging utility that is compatible with a wide range of operating systems including Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows 9x/NT, Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, BeOS, SMS/QDOS, MVS, VM/CMS and many others. This software is part of the Info-ZIP project and offers a range of features that make it an ideal choice for creating zipfiles in a pipe or on a device.
One of the standout features of Zip is its ability to handle VMS and OS/2 extended file attributes. Additionally, it offers conversion between Unix, MS-DOS and Macintosh text file formats. This software offers the ability to run on most popular operating systems.
The latest release of Zip offers several useful new features and improvements. For example, it now handles cases where -x, -R, and -i patterns are mixed, and includes new example C-Sharp code for using DLLs. There are also some directory-search speedups, and a bug that caused issues when encrypting large uncompressible files has been fixed.
Additional improvements in the latest release of Zip include fixing the Windows NTFS time problem, addressing the VMS logical name parse problem, and adding a new VMS DEBUG option. The VMS help has also been updated, and the software now offers additional features such as the ability to select files for deletion by date.
Other new additions to Zip include the -MM option, which requires each input file pattern to match at least one file, and ensures that all input files are readable. Additionally, Zip now checks for when it tries to exceed seek limit in the output file. Minor changes to compile with Visual C++ 2005 have also been made, and support for Unix FIFOs (named pipes) has been added. Overall, Zip is a powerful and versatile software that offers many useful features for compression and file packaging across a wide variety of operating systems.
