zip/unzip . Take them from garbo.uwasa.fi:/unix/arcers . It can
easily be built on any Unix I know (also a part of FreeBSD's ports
collection) and on NT. If given `-k' option, zip will create an
archive suitable for pkunzip. Not as efficient as gzip, though,
but handles multiple files and, again, is compatible with pkzip/pkunzip.
