This package contains Unzip 5.0p1, the latest version of the Info-ZIP free generic Unzip utility, as compiled for the Macintosh. This version is compatible with PKZip 2.04c, PKWare's latest release for MSDOS, as well as with Info-ZIP's own Zip 1.9p1 utility. The contents of this package are as follows: README.MAC - Lists contents and describes how to compile Unzip 5.0p1 for the Macintosh. Unzip - A version of Unzip 5.0p1 designed to run under MPW. Compiled using MPW C 3.2. Unzip 5.0p1 - A standalone version of Unzip 5.0p1. Compiled using Think C 5.0. Source - A folder containing the complete source to Unzip 5.0p1. The contents of this folder are exactly as distributed by Info-ZIP. In order to build either version of Unzip on the Macintosh, a couple of preliminary steps are first necessary: a) Move the contents of the MAC folder with the exception of the Contents file into the same folder as the rest of the source files. b) Using BinHex 4.0 (or some compatible utility), convert the files "thinkc.hqx" and "thinkc_rsrc.hqx" into their Macintosh form, producing the files "unzip.thinkc" and "unzip.thinkc.rsrc", respectively. The first file is not needed if you are only producing the MPW version of Unzip but the second file is, despite the name. You are now ready to build Unzip. The MPW version of Unzip 5.0p1 can be built with either the Aztec C 5.2a or the MPW C 3.2 compilers under MPW using the makefiles "aztec.make" or "mpw.make", respectively. Simply rename the appropriate makefile to "unzip.make" and do an MPW "build". The standalone version of UnZip 5.0p1 can be built using Think C 5.0. Open the project file "unzip.thinkc" and use the "Build Application" command from the "..." menu. See the "README" file in the "Source" directory for more detailed info on Unzip itself as well as where to send suggestions and bug reports. Enjoy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antoine Verheijen antoine@sysmail.ucs.ualberta.ca Computing and Network Services University of Alberta, Canada
