Date: 1 Nov 1993 20:56:17 -0600 Organization: Armstrong Laboratory, Brooks AFB, TX Lines: 21 Message-ID: <2b4i8v$hqg@hrd769.brooks.af.mil> NNTP-Posting-Host: hrd769.brooks.af.mil I am a newbie with the whole UNIX thing. At times I do not know which end is up, so be gentle with me. I have a requirement to unzip and zip files in PKZIP 1.1 format. I have looked thru the man page on gunzip, but it appears as though it does not support PKZIP files. In fact, it says to use unzip for those files. I have searched sun-lamp high and low for unzip, but the only thing that comes up is unzip.c in the gzip sources. If I look at this file, it has the header info for PKZIP. So! What is the story? Does gunzip handle PKZIP files and, if not, where does one find unzip for NetBSD. -- TSgt Jim Cooper Armstrong Laboratory/MIS Brooks AFB, TX
