Hello!  Welcome to the download area for demonstration copies of
Computronics ZIP software for Unix systems.  ZIP is a file and
directory compression utility fully compatible with PKZIP through
version 2.04g.

To use ZIP you will need three files:

* This README file, which you can download as an ASCII file as
  /pub/zip/README

* The ZIP manual, which is available in text form or as a ready
  to print Postscript file, or as an Acrobat PDF file.  If you
  have the Acrobat Reader, use the file /pub/zip/zip_manual.pdf
  If you prefer a Postscript file, use the file: 
  /pub/zip/zip_manual.ps   If you need a text version of the
  manual, download the ASCII file /pub/zip/zip_manual.txt

* You will also need the software itself.  There are directories
  for each Unix platform.  Find the one appropriate for your
  system and then look for the proper file in that directory.
  This will be a file named: zip_platform.cpio.Z.  In this name,
  "platform" is the system type, such as hpux or aix.  Thus for
  ZIP for hpux the proper file will be zip_hpux.cpio.Z

Finally, before installing the software, you need to execute the
command on your Unix system:

zcat zip_platform.cpio.Z | cpio -icmvdu  

(Use the proper version and platform, as discussed above).  At this time,
you will have a directory called zip and you can install it as
documented in the ZIP manual.

that you need when you get to the appropriate installation step.

Thank you!
