s3uzip10.zip (35K)

This archive contains an EPOC binary for version 1.0 of Unzip
for the Series 3, plus some documentation.

This port is based on the Samuel H. Smith / Info-ZIP team source
code, as distributed in UNZIP50.ZIP in free_software/sources.

Version 1.0 is a quick-and-dirty port for the Series 3; It should
be considered a beta at this stage. However it does cope with all
the PKzip compression methods, including that used by versions
2.0x.

Thanks to colly@cix of Psion for a workaround that solved a
problem with EPOC memory allocation.

To use, you need version 1.1 of RUN.APP (included in the archive)
as the front-end for the UNZIP.IMG file. UnZip requires
considerable free memory to run, so its not suitable for
unzipping other than small files to the internal drive.

See the enclosed file RUN.DOC for brief notes on installing and
using the RUN utility. Here are some examples of the use of the
'Initial path' parameter with UnZip:

  Command line:  -v a:\transfer\myzip
  Initial path:

  Command line:  -v myzip
  Initial path:  a:\transfer

Where only a listing of the archive contents is requested, the
two forms above are identical. Where an archive extraction is
specified however, the 'Initial path' parameter specifies the
directory to which the files archived should be extracted. For
example:

  Command line:  a:\transfer\myzip
  Initial path:  b:\

will cause the files in MYZIP.ZIP in the specified directory to
be extracted to the root directory of drive B. Note that the full
path name of the archive must be specified on the command line.
