No idea why you're asking it in a FreeBSD group, but FWIW, there's a freeware package around that supports ZIP files (even to a level where you can fake it so it appears to be created on a DOS box). For FreeBSD, it's in the ports and packages :), for Slowaris, you're on your own... Ask archie for unzip512.tar.Z and zip201.tar.Z. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
