Zipfile Extract Utility

'UnZip' is a small Zipfile extract utility. It is written to be as
small and portable as possible -- ideal as a starting point for handling
.ZIP files in non-IBM environments.

Source code is provided in C and Turbo Pascal. If you port this program
to a non-IBM system, I would appreciate a copy of the ported source and
exec files.


Usage
-----
unzip filename[.zip]


Revision history
----------------

3-3-89
Initial alpha test release.

3-5-89
First fully operational release. Does not implement CRC verification,
but should correctly unzip all compression methods.

3-6-89
Corrected end-of-file detection in both shrink and reduce expanders.
Resulting files should now always have the correct size. Added ".ZIP"
default to unzip.c to match calling conventions of unz.pas.

3-8-89
Moved machine and operating-system specific code to a block starting
around line 180. Added code to swap bytes on host machines that
store the high order bytes in lower address locations than the low
order bytes.

3-15-89
Added CRC checking in UNZIP.C. Speeded operation by about 150%.

I'm spending my time on the C version now and don't plan to do any
further work on the pascal. If you're using the pascal version
please contact me.
