How do I get UnZip (or Zip)?
Short answer: ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ : either cd into an appropriate subdirectory and grab an appropriate executable distribution, or else get the source code from the src subdirectory and compile your own. Long answer: do something similar to the following. This is for a Unix-like, text-mode ftp client, but others will work similarly. (The stuff after “//” is comments; don’t type any of it. This example assumes you want UnZip for a Windows 9x or NT system, but the procedure is similar for other systems.) ftp ftp.info-zip.org // run the ftp program and connect to Walnut Creek anonymous // username for anonftp you@your.email.addr // use your real e-mail address for password cd /pub/infozip // change into the Info-ZIP subdirectory dir // list the contents of the subdirectory cd WIN32 // change into the WIN32 subdirectory dir // list the contents of the subdirectory bin // set transfer mode to binary (IMPORTANT!) get unz552xN.exe // get self-extracting Win32 UnZip 5.51 archiv
