         [ The following description of this submission indicates
           that both executable images and object files are included
           in this submission.  The object files are being sent as a
           separate part (similar to a patch) so that those sites
           wishing to compile the routines themselves need not use
           the time (or expense) of downloading them.  The
           executables have been removed altogether since they can
           be built locally, either by compiling and linking or
           obtaining the object files and linking. ]

Zip v1.9 and UnZip v5.0 are the latest releases from the Info-ZIP
group.  Zip and UnZip are file archivers that employ compression to
save disk space.  They are compatible with PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP
for MS-DOS.

Zip v1.9 and UnZip v5.0 feature the long-awaited saving and restoring
of VMS file attributes for VMS .ZIP archives!!!  They also support
"deflating" and "inflating" of files, for even greater compression
over the "imploding/exploding" algorithm.

This distribution includes the sources for Zip and UnZip, which will
compile under VMS, UNIX, DOS, OS/2, NT, Amiga, and Atari.  VMS .OBJs
and .EXE files are included for those without a C compiler (either
VAX C or GNU C); they are encoded using the MTFU program, also
available from vmsnet.sources archives, ftp.spc.edu (under
[.MACRO32]), and FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET (send SEND MFTU in the body
of a mail message).
