Info-ZIP's zip for BeOS
KNOWN BUGS
- None! (as of zip 2.21)
- building on x86 BeOS generates a hell of a lot of bugs; I'm not going to
worry about them until Be fixes their headers though...
FEATURES
- stores BeOS file attributes, compressing them if possible (as of 2.21,
this works properly for symbolic links, too; as of 2.3, this works
properly for symbolic links whether you're storing them as links or not)
- zip files are created with the correct file type (application/zip)
- supports both Metrowerks CodeWarrior (PowerPC platform) and GNU C
(x86 platform), automatically picking the default compiler for each
architecture
Please report any bugs to the Zip-Bugs mailing list; our email address is
zip-bugs@lists.wku.edu. If it's something BeOS-specific, you could email
me directly.

latest zip and unzip information, FAQs, source code and ready-to-run
executables.
