LATEST RELEASESZip 3.00 was released on 7 July 2008. WiZ 5.03 was released on 11 March 2005. UnZip 6.0 was released on 29 April 2009. MacZip 1.06 was released on 22 February 2001. See the ​​Zip​​​, ​​UnZip​​​ and ​​WiZ​​ pages for current status and download locations.

In addition, a new set of ​​discussion forums​​​ was set up in October 2007. These replace the older ​​QuickTopic forum​​, which was overrun by spam. (The spam postings have since been deleted, but further posts to the old forum are permanently disabled.)

 

 

Info-ZIP is a diverse, Internet-based workgroup of about 20 primary authors and over one hundred beta-testers, formed in 1990 as a mailing list hosted by Keith Petersen on the original SimTel site at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

Info-ZIP's purpose is to provide free, portable, high-quality versions of the ​​Zip​​​ and ​​UnZip​​ compressor-archiver utilities that are compatible with the DOS-based PKZIP by ​​PKWARE, Inc.​​

Info-ZIP supports hardware from microcomputers all the way up to Cray supercomputers, running on almost all versions of Unix, VMS, OS/2, Windows 9x/NT/etc. (a.k.a. Win32), Windows 3.x, Windows CE, MS-DOS, AmigaDOS, Atari TOS, Acorn RISC OS, BeOS, Mac OS, SMS/QDOS, MVS and OS/390 OE, VM/CMS, FlexOS, Tandem NSK and Human68K (Japanese). There is also some (old) support for LynxOS, TOPS-20, AOS/VS and Novell NLMs. Shared libraries (DLLs) are available for Unix, OS/2, Win32 and Win16, and graphical interfaces are available for Win32, Win16, WinCE and Mac OS.

Info-ZIP code has been incorporated into a number of third-party products as well, both commercial and freeware. Some of the more interesting ones (well, historically speaking) include the use of ​​UnZip​​ code in the unzip.dll distributed with IBM's OS/2 Warp BonusPak and WebExplorer, as part of the reinstallation code for the IBM Aptivas preloaded with OS/2 Warp, and as part of IBM's Infoprint product. Sun used Info-ZIP's self-extractor to distribute the NT version of their HotJava browser, Novell uses UnZip for NetWare 6 installation, and SAP includes it in Business One. Various Windows products such as WinZip and the DynaZIP DLLs incorporate Info-ZIP code, too. And let us not forget Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), an excellent encryption program that uses Info-ZIP code as a first step in encrypting files. Info-ZIP's primary compression engine has also been spun off into the free ​​zlib compression library​​, used in Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, the Linux kernel, WindowsJava, virtually all ​​PNG​​-supporting software, and countless other products.

Info-ZIP can be reached by a web-based form, but you'll have to read our ​​Frequently Asked Questions​​​ page to find out how. Our two primary web sites are hosted by our very own Hunter Goatley and by the most excellent ​​SourceForge​​​. Secondary distribution sites are hosted by the ​​Comprehensive TeX Archive Network​​.

In addition, Info-ZIP would like to tip our collective hat to ​​Samuel H. Smith​​, the gentleman who wrote the original MS-DOS unzip on which Info-ZIP's UnZip 3.0 was based--and who kindly made the source code available for free. Even though virtually all of his code has by now been rewritten from scratch, Info-ZIP still owes Mr. Smith a debt of gratitude for getting us into this mess. A package of virtual chocolate-chip cookies is in the e-mail. About Info-ZIP_unix_07
