+ Zip 3.0 is the first Zip update adding large file support. For now Zip 2.3x
2
+ remains available and supported, but users should switch to this new release.
3
+
4
+ Testing for Zip 3.0 has focused mainly on Unix, VMS, Max OS X, and Win32,
5
+ and some other ports may not be fully supported yet. If you find your
6
+ favorite port is broke, send us the details or, better, send bug fixes. It's
7
+ possible that support for some older ports may be dropped in the future.

20
+ Zip 3.0 is a compression and file packaging utility. It is compatible with
21
+ PKZIP 2.04g (Phil Katz ZIP) for MSDOS systems. There is a companion to zip
22
+ called unzip (of course) which you should be able to find in the same place
23
+ you got zip. See the file 'WHERE' for details on ftp sites and mail
24
+ servers.
25
+
26
+ So far zip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes,
27
+ minis, and micros including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows, Atari, Amiga,
28
+ BeOS and VM/CMS. Although highly compatible with PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP
29
+ utilities of MSDOS fame, our primary objective has been one of portability
30
+ and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features not found in the PKWare version
31
+ include creation of zip files in a pipe or on a device; VMS, BeOS and OS/2
32
+ extended file attributes; conversion from Unix to MSDOS text file format; and,
33
+ of course, the ability to run on most of your favorite operating systems. And
34
+ it's free.
35
+
36
+ See the file zip30.ann for a summary of new features in Zip 3.0 and WhatsNew
37
+ for the detailed list of new features and changes since Zip 2.32. The file
38
+ CHANGES details all day-to-day changes during development.
39
+
40
+ Notes:
41
+
42
+ Multi-volume support. This version does not support multi-volume spanned
43
+ archives as in pkzip 2.04g, and there is no intention at this point to support
44
+ spanned archives, but Zip 3.0 supports split archives. A split archive is an
45
+ archive split into a set of files, each file a piece of the archive and each
46
+ file using an extension, such as .z02 as in the file name archive.z02, that
47
+ provides the order of the splits. In contrast, a spanned archive is the
48
+ original multi-floppy archive supported by pkzip 2.0g where the split order
49
+ is contained in the volume labels. The contents of split and spanned archives
50
+ are mostly identical and there is a simple procedure to convert between the
51
+ formats. Many current unzips now support split archives.
52
+
53
+ Zip64 support. This version supports Zip64 archives as described in the
54
+ PKWare AppNote. These archives use additional fields to support archives
55
+ greater than 2 GB and files in archives over the 2 GB previous limit (4 GB
56
+ on some ports). The Zip64 format also allows more than 64k entries in an
57
+ archive. Support by the OS for files larger than 4 GB is needed for Zip to
58
+ create and read large files and archives. On Unix, Win32, and some other
59
+ ports, large file and Zip64 support is automatically checked for and
60
+ compiled in if available. Use of Zip64 by Zip is automatic and to maximize
61
+ backward compatibility the Zip64 fields will only be used if needed. A
62
+ Zip64 archive requires a pkzip 4.5 compatible unzip, such as UnZip 6.0.
63
+
64
+ Unicode support. This version has initial Unicode support. This allows
65
+ paths and names of files in other character sets to be accurately recreated
66
+ on OS that have sufficient character set support. On Win32, if wide
67
+ character calls are supported (not Win 9x unless Unicode support has been
68
+ added) all files (including paths with illegal characters in the current
69
+ character set) should now be readable by zip. Unicode support is provided
70
+ using a new set of UTF-8 path and comment extra fields and a new UTF-8 bit
71
+ for flagging when the current character set is already UTF-8. Zip 3.0
72
+ maintains backward compatibility with older archives and is mostly compliant
73
+ with the new Unicode additions in the latest PKWare AppNote. The exception
74
+ is UTF-8 comments, which are not supported if UTF-8 is not the native
75
+ character set, but should be fully implemented in Zip 3.1.
76
+
77
+ 16-bit OS support. Though Zip 3.0 is designed to support the latest zip
78
+ standards and modern OS, some effort has been made to maintain support
79
+ for older and smaller systems. If you find Zip 3.0 does not fit on or
80
+ otherwise does not work well on a particular OS, send in the details and
81
+ we might be able to help.
82
+
83
+ Compression methods. In addition to the standard store and deflate methods,
84
+ Zip now can use the bzip2 compression format using the bzip2 library. Though
85
+ bzip2 compression generally takes longer, in many cases using bzip2 results
86
+ in much better compression. However, many unzips may not yet support
87
+ bzip2 compressed entries in archives, so test your unzip first before using
88
+ bzip2 compression.
89
+
90
+ Installation. Please read the file INSTALL for information on how to compile
91
+ and install zip, zipsplit, zipcloak, and zipnote and please read the manual
92
+ pages ZIP.txt, ZIPSPLIT.txt, ZIPCLOAK.txt, and ZIPNOTE.txt for information on
93
+ how to use them. Also, if you are using MSDOS or Windows, note that text
94
+ files in the distribution are generally in Unix line end format (LF only)
95
+ and Windows and DOS users will need to either convert the files as needed to
96
+ DOS line ends (CR LF) or extract the distribution contents using unzip -a.
97
+
98
+ Utilities. At this point zipsplit, zipcloak, and zipnote should work with
99
+ large files, but they currently do not handle split archives. A work around
100
+ is to use zip to convert a split archive to a single file archive and then use
101
+ the utilities on that archive.
102
+
103
+ Encryption. This version supports standard zip encryption. Until recently
104
+ the encryption code was distributed separately because of the US export
105
+ regulations but now is part of the main distribution. See crypt.c for
106
+ details. Decryption can be made with unzip 5.0p1 or later, or with zipcloak.
107
+
108
+ Bug reports. All bug reports or patches should go to zip-bugs via the web
109
+ site contact form at http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html (we have discontinued
110
+ the old email address zip-bugs@lists.wku.edu because of too much spam lately)
111
+ and suggestions for new features can be submitted there also (although we don't
112
+ promise to use all of them). We also are on SourceForge at
113
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/ and now automatically get Bug Reports
114
+ and Feature Requests submitted there. In addition, a new Info-ZIP discussion
115
+ forum is available as well. See below. Though bug reports can be posted there,
116
+ we don't have automatic monitoring of all postings set up yet so you may want
117
+ to use the web form or SoureForge for a quicker response. A good approach may
118
+ be to post the details on the forum so others can benefit from the posting,
119
+ then use the web reply form to let us know you did that if you don't get a
120
+ reply in a reasonable time.
121
+
122
+ Ports. If you're considering a port, please check in with zip-bugs FIRST,
123
+ since the code is constantly being updated behind the scenes. We'll
124
+ arrange to give you access to the latest source.
125
+
126
+ Discussion group. If you'd like to keep up to date with our Zip (and companion
127
+ UnZip utility) development, join the ranks of BETA testers, add your own
128
+ thoughts and contributions, etc., check out the new discussion forum. This is
129
+ the latest offering, after the various Info-ZIP mailing-lists on
130
+ mxserver@lists.wku.edu (courtesy of Hunter Goatley) were no longer available
131
+ and the temporary QuickTopic discussion group for Info-ZIP issues at
132
+ http://www.quicktopic.com/27/H/V6ZQZ54uKNL died a horrible death due to large
133
+ amounts of spam. The new discussion forum is now available at
134
+ http://www.info-zip.org/board/board.pl (thanks again to Hunter Goatley) and
135
+ can be used to discuss issues, request features, and is one place new betas
136
+ and releases are announced. It also is a place to post bug reports, and
137
+ patches can be submitted as attachments. However, we don't yet get
138
+ automatic notification of all postings there so try one of the other methods
139
+ if you don't get a response. You can also post Bug Reports and Feature
140
+ Requests at Source Forge. However, the web site contact form remains
141
+ available if you would rather not post on the public forums.
142
+
143
+ Frequently asked questions on zip and unzip:
144
+
145
+ Q. When unzipping I get an error message about "compression method 8".
146
+
147
+ A. This is standard deflate, which has been around for awhile. Please
148
+ get a current version of unzip. See the file 'WHERE' for details.
149
+
150
+
151
+ Q. How about "compression method 12"?
152
+
153
+ A. Compression method 12 is bzip2 and requires a relatively modern unzip.
154
+ Please get the latest version of unzip.
155
+
156
+
157
+ Q. I can't extract this zip file that I just downloaded. I get
158
+ "zipfile is part of multi-disk archive" or some other message.
159
+
160
+ A. Please make sure that you made the transfer in binary mode. Check
161
+ in particular that your copy has exactly the same size as the original.
162
+ Note that the above message also may actually mean you have only part
163
+ of a multi-part archive. Also note that UnZip 5.x does not and UnZip 6.0
164
+ probably won't have multi-disk (split) archive support. A work around
165
+ is to use Zip 3.0 to convert the split archive to a single-file archive
166
+ then use UnZip on that archive. As a last result, if there's something
167
+ readable in what you have, zip -FF should be able to recover it.
168
+
169
+
170
+ Q. When running unzip, I get a message about "End-of-central-directory
171
+ signature not found".
172
+
173
+ A. This usually means that your zip archive is damaged, or that you
174
+ have an uncompressed file with the same name in the same directory.
175
+ In the first case, it makes more sense to contact the person you
176
+ obtained the zip file from rather than the Info-ZIP software
177
+ developers, and to make sure that your copy is strictly identical to
178
+ the original. In the second case, use "unzip zipfile.zip" instead
179
+ of "unzip zipfile", to let unzip know which file is the zip archive
180
+ you want to extract.
181
+
182
+
183
+ Q. Why doesn't zip do <something> just like PKZIP does?
184
+
185
+ A. Zip is not a PKZIP clone and is not intended to be one. In some
186
+ cases we feel PKZIP does not do the right thing (e.g., not
187
+ including pathnames by default); in some cases the operating system
188
+ itself is responsible (e.g., under Unix it is the shell which
189
+ expands wildcards, not zip). Info-ZIP's and PKWARE's zipfiles
190
+ are interchangeable, not the programs.
191
+
192
+ For example, if you are used to the following PKZIP command:
193
+ pkzip -rP foo *.c
194
+ you must use instead on Unix:
195
+ zip -R foo "*.c"
196
+ (the quotes are needed to let the shell know that it should
197
+ not expand the *.c argument but instead pass it on to the program,
198
+ but are not needed on ports that do not expand file paths like
199
+ MSDOS)
200
+
201
+
202
+ Q. Can I distribute zip and unzip sources and/or executables?
203
+
204
+ A. You may redistribute the latest official distributions without any
205
+ modification, without even asking us for permission. You can charge
206
+ for the cost of the media (CDROM, diskettes, etc...) and a small copying
207
+ fee. If you want to distribute modified versions please contact us at
208
+ www.Info-ZIP.org first. You must not distribute beta versions.
209
+ The latest official distributions are always on ftp.Info-ZIP.org in
210
+ directory /pub/infozip and subdirectories and at SourceForge.
211
+
212
+
213
+ Q. Can I use the executables of zip and unzip to distribute my software?
214
+
215
+ A. Yes, so long as it is made clear in the product documentation that
216
+ zip or unzip are not being sold, that the source code is freely
217
+ available, and that there are no extra or hidden charges resulting
218
+ from its use by or inclusion with the commercial product. See the
219
+ Info-ZIP license for more. Here is an example of a suitable notice:
220
+
221
+ NOTE: <Product> is packaged on this CD using Info-ZIP's compression
222
+ utility. The installation program uses UnZip to read zip files from
223
+ the CD. Info-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip and related utilities) is
224
+ freely distributed under the Info-ZIP license and can be obtained as
225
+ source code or executables from various anonymous-ftp sites,
226
+ including ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip.
227
+
228
+
229
+ Q. Can I use the source code of zip and unzip in my commercial application?
230
+
231
+ A. Yes, as long as the conditions in the Info-ZIP license are met. We
232
+ recommend you include in your product documentation an acknowledgment
233
+ and note that the original compression sources are available at
234
+ www.Info-ZIP.org. If you have special requirements contact us.

6
+
7
+ The files described below contain the encryption/decryption code for Zip 2.31,
8
+ UnZip 5.52, and WiZ 5.02 (and later). These files are included in the main
9
+ source distributions for all of these now, but the encryption patch is still
10
+ available for earlier versions of these. This file both describes the history
11
+ of the encryption package and notes the current conditions for use. Check
12
+ the comments at the top of crypt.c and crypt.h for additional information.
13
+
14
+ As of version 2.9, this encryption source code is copyrighted by Info-ZIP;
15
+ see the enclosed LICENSE file for details. Older versions remain in the pub-
16
+ lic domain. Zcrypt was originally written in Europe and, as of April 2000,
17
+ can be freely distributed from the US as well as other countries.
18
+
19
+ (The ability to export from the US is new and is due to a change in the Bureau
20
+ of Export Administration's regulations, as published in Volume 65, Number
21
+ 10, of the Federal Register [14 January 2000]. Info-ZIP filed the required
22
+ notification via e-mail on 9 April 2000; see the USexport.msg file in this
23
+ archive. However, as of June 2002, it can now be freely distributed in both
24
+ source and object forms from any country, including the USA under License
25
+ Exception TSU of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (section 740.13(e))
26
+ of 6 June 2002.)
27

28
+ LIKE ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS FREE, ZIP, UNZIP AND THEIR ASSOCIATED
29
+ UTILITIES ARE PROVIDED AS IS AND COME WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
30
+ EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHORS BE LIABLE
31
+ FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
32
+
33
+ The encryption code is a direct transcription of the algorithm from
34
+ Roger Schlafly, described by Phil Katz in the file appnote.txt. This
35
+ file is distributed with the PKZIP program (even in the version without
36
+ encryption capabilities). Note that the encryption will probably resist
37
+ attacks by amateurs if the password is well chosen and long enough (at
38
+ least 8 characters) but it will probably not resist attacks by experts.
39
+ Paul Kocher has made available information concerning a known-plaintext
40
+ attack for the PKWARE encryption scheme; see http://www.cryptography.com/
41
+ for details.) Short passwords consisting of lowercase letters only can be
42
+ recovered in a few hours on any workstation. But for casual cryptography
43
+ designed to keep your mother from reading your mail, it's OK.
44
+
45
+ For more serious encryption, check into PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), a
46
+ public-key-based encryption system available from various Internet sites.
47
+ PGP has Zip and UnZip built into it. The most recent version at the time
48
+ this was originally written was 6.5, although older versions were still
49
+ widespread. At the time of this writing there are now GPG, PGP Universal
50
+ 2.0, and various others based on OpenPGP.
51
+
52
+ We are looking at adding AES strong encryption to future versions of Zip and
53
+ UnZip.
54
+
55
+ Zip 2.3x and UnZip 5.5x and later are compatible with PKZIP 2.04g. (Thanks
56
+ to Phil Katz for accepting our suggested minor changes to the zipfile format.)
57
+
58
+ IMPORTANT NOTE:
59
+
60
+ Zip archives produced by Zip 2.0 or later must not be *updated* by
61
+ Zip 1.1 or PKZIP 1.10 or PKZIP 1.93a, if they contain encrypted members
62
+ or if they have been produced in a pipe or on a non-seekable device.
63
+ The old versions of Zip or PKZIP would destroy the zip structure. The
64
+ old versions can list the contents of the zipfile but cannot extract
65
+ it anyway (because of the new compression algorithm). If you do not
66
+ use encryption and compress regular disk files, you need not worry about
67
+ this problem.

87

91

92

93
+ using the zcrypt sources:
94
+
95
+ (1) Get the main sources (e.g., Zip 2.3) and unpack into a working
96
+ directory, as usual.
97
+
98
+ (2) Overwrite the dummy crypt.c and crypt.h from the main sources with
99
+ the versions from this package. If you want to overwrite directly
100
+ out of the zcrypt29 archive, do not use UnZip's freshen/updating
101
+ option; the dummy files may be newer than the real sources in
102
+ zcrypt29. ("unzip -o zcrypt29 -d /your/working/dir" will do the
103
+ Right Thing in most cases, although it may overwrite a newer WHERE
104
+ file under some circumstances.)
105
+
106
+ (3) Read the main INSTALL document and compile normally! No makefile
107
+ changes are necessary on account of the zcrypt sources. You can
108
+ check that the version you just compiled has encryption or decryption
109
+ support enabled by typing "zip -v" or "unzip -v" and verifying that
110
+ the last "special compilation option" says encryption or decryption
111
+ is included.
112
+
113
+ Encryption enables new "-e" and "-P password" options in Zip, and a new
114
+ "-P password" option in UnZip--see the normal Zip and UnZip documentation
115
+ for details. (Note that passing a plaintext password on the command line
116
+ is potentially much more insecure than being prompted for it interactively,
117
+ which is the default for UnZip and for Zip with "-e". Also note that the
118
+ interactive method allows UnZip to deal with archives that use different
119
+ passwords for different files.)

51
+ New things in Zip 3.0h
52
+
53
+ - Allow -@ and -x to work together.
54
+ - Unicode code cleanup.
55
+ - Allow forcing use of UTF-8 storage in standard path and comment.
56
+ - Update symbolic link checks.
57
+ - Add support for storing 32-bit UIDs/GIDs using new extra field.
58
+ Backward compatible support for the old 16-bit UID/GID extra field
59
+ remains if Zip is compiled on an OS that has 16-bit UID/GID
60
+ storage.
61
+ - Update VMS notes.
62
+ - Directory scan using -AS (include only files with Windows archive
63
+ bit set) now ignores archive bit on directories to include all files
64
+ with archive bit set in all directories. Also, to avoid empty
65
+ directories being created, -AS now does not store directory
66
+ entries.
67
+ - Add Unix IBM support.
68
+ - Change -W to -ws to free -W for later use.
69
+ - Fix large file support for MinGW.
70
+ - Fix large file support for bzip2.
71
+ - Fix compile error in ZipCloak when UNICODE_SUPPORT is not enabled.
72
+ - Fix Unicode bug in ZipCloak involving Unicode paths.
73
+ - Long Unicode escapes changed from #Lxxxxxxxx to #Lxxxxxx to shorten
74
+ paths with escaped Unicode.
75
+ - Bug fixes.
76
+
77
+
78
+ New things in Zip 3.0g
79
+
80
+ - Add split support to VB project for Zip64.
81
+ - Disable reading of Unix FIFOs unless new -FI option used to avoid an
82
+ archiving operation stopping when it hits an active unfed FIFO.
83
+ - The "[list]" wildcard expression (regular expression matching of any
84
+ character or range of characters in list) is now disabled on DOS and
85
+ Windows as it has caused confusion when filenames have [ and ] in
86
+ them. The new -RE option reenables it.
87
+ - Add negation to many display options such as -dc and -db.
88
+ - Allow -FF to read and fix archives having local entries that appear
89
+ after central directory entries.
90
+ - Bug fixes.
91
+
92
+
93
+ New things in Zip 3.0f
94
+
95
+ - bzip2 - The bzip2 compression method looks supported for at least
96
+ Windows, Unix, and VMS using the bzip2 library. A new option, -Z cm,
97
+ selects the compression method.
98
+
99
+ - Split archives - Can now use -s to create a split archive. The
100
+ default is to update split files as the archive is being written,
101
+ which requires all splits to remain open until the archive is done.
102
+ This should be no problem when writing the archive to a hard drive,
103
+ for example, and this approach creates archives that should be
104
+ supported by all unzips that support splits. Adding the -sp option
105
+ enables split pause mode that instead writes splits that do not
106
+ need updating and pauses Zip after each split. This allows splits
107
+ to be written directly to removable media, however -sp archives
108
+ may not be as universally compatible.
109
+
110
+ - Unicode support - Zip now stores Unicode paths that should be more
111
+ portable across character sets and languages. The unzip must have
112
+ Unicode support enabled or the Unicode paths are ignored. If
113
+ reading an archive with Unicode paths, unsupported characters are
114
+ replaced by #Uxxxx and #Lxxxxxxxx escapes in the file name. Option
115
+ -UN controls how Unicode is handled. Also, on systems where the
116
+ current character set is UTF-8, preliminary support for the new
117
+ General Purpose Bit Flag, bit 11, UTF-8 flag, that indicates UTF-8
118
+ is stored in the path and comment fields is implemented for paths.
119
+ - Unicode on Win32 - On WIN32 systems that support the wide character
120
+ calls (mainly NT and later systems using NTFS), when UNICODE SUPPORT
121
+ is enabled Zip will now do directory scans using Unicode and convert
122
+ the Unicode paths to the local character set for storage in the standard
123
+ path field and store UTF-8 in the Unicode extra field. This allows
124
+ directory scans to complete successfully regardless of the character
125
+ set the path is in. On Win9x systems wide character scans are not
126
+ generally supported and Zip automatically uses a local character scan
127
+ instead.
128
+
129
+ - Keep extra fields option - The default operation has been, and continues
130
+ to be, to read then strip old extra fields when reading entries from an
131
+ existing archive and then recreate the extra fields that Zip knows about.
132
+ Extra fields specific to each operating system get added by default also.
133
+ The new option -X- (negated -X) keeps any old extra fields, copying
134
+ them to the updated archive unchanged (unless Zip has updated them).
135
+ The unnegated -X still strips most all extra fields except Zip64,
136
+ Unicode, and UT time.
137
+
138
+ - License - minor updates to the license.
139
+
140
+ - Windows OEM - When compiled with WIN32_OEM (the default for WIN32),
141
+ Zip on WIN32 now stores OEM paths, which should be more compatible
142
+ with other zips and should fix some character set problems.
143
+ - Windows Archive Bit support - On Windows can now use new -AS
144
+ (include if archive bit set) option to select files with the DOS
145
+ archive bit set and use new -AC (clear archive bits) option to clear
146
+ the archive bits on files after the archive has been created.
147
+ But -DF is probably better.
148
+
149
+ - Difference mode - A new option -DF (--dif) creates an output archive
150
+ that includes only files changed or new since the input archive was
151
+ created. Can use to create incremental backups.
152
+ - File Sync - The new option -FS enables File Sync, a new mode that
153
+ synchronizes the entries in an archive with the files on the file
154
+ system, adding updating, and deleting entries as needed. This
155
+ should create the same results as creating a new archive, but
156
+ since existing entries are copied, may be much faster.
157
+
158
+ - Copy Mode - A new --out option allows creating a new archive with a
159
+ different name than the input archive, leaving the input archive
160
+ unchanged. This allows updating split archives. It also allows
161
+ for a new copy mode to select entries in one archive and copy them
162
+ directly to a new archive.
163
+ - Empty archives - Now an empty archive is created when -i or -i@ is used
164
+ and the file patterns given do not match anything. This has been
165
+ requested to support scripts.
166
+
167
+ - Global dots - A new -dg option now displays progress dots as -dd does,
168
+ but instead of displaying them for each file, the dots track the total
169
+ bytes read for the archive. The -dg option also works when -q is used
170
+ to disable most output, which allows for something like zip -qdgds 100m
171
+ to be used to not display specific files but display a dot every 100 MB
172
+ as a global status.
173
+ - Date range - Can now use -t and -tt to set a date range
174
+ - Fix options - Option -F redone and can recover files from an archive
175
+ with a mostly complete central directory more reliably, but no longer
176
+ can handle truncated archives. Option -FF redone and now can salvage
177
+ files from slightly more damaged archives, including truncated archives.
178
+ In some ways -F is less powerful but more stable than it was and -FF will
179
+ be needed where -F in Zip 2.32 was enough. One big change is -F and -FF
180
+ both now support split archives.
181
+ - Console writing - Updates to how messages are written to the console have
182
+ been made including more consistent handling of line breaks.
183
+ - Show Files options - Option -sf lists the files that would be operated
184
+ on. This option can be used alone to list the files in an archive.
185
+ Also see options -su and -sU for showing Unicode paths.
186
+ - UnZip Check - Now check that UnZip 6.00 or later is being used for
187
+ unzip if testing a Zip64 archive. A new option -TT can be used to set
188
+ the unzip to use with the -T check. Currently UnZip does not support
189
+ split archives so split archives can't be tested by UnZip.
190
+ - Streaming - Directories are now handled better when streaming.
191
+ - Case matching - Normally all matching against archive entries is case
192
+ sensitive, so *.BAR will not match or find foo.bar in an archive
193
+ when deleting, copying, or freshening entries (deleting and copying
194
+ only on VMS). New option -ic (--ignore-case) enables case insensitive
195
+ matching. Currently -ic is only implemented on WIN32 and VMS.
196
+
197
+ - Delete date bug fixed - Bug when using -d to delete files while
198
+ using -t or -tt to select the files based on date is fixed
199
+ - Large file encryption bug fixed - Fix for bug that very rarely
200
+ results in bad data being stored when deflating and encrypting
201
+ uncompressable data and resulting in CRC errors when extracting,
202
+ but the chance of error increases with file size (thanks to
203
+ WinZip for finding this bug). See CHANGES for details.
204
+
205
+
206
+ New things in Zip 3.0e
207
+
208
+ - Bugs described in Debian patches 004 (unix configure script update) and
209
+ 005 (large path bug) fixed
210
+ - Various fixes
211
+ - Add optional running stats and also end stats if not all files could
212
+ be read
213
+ - Options -l and -ll now do quick binary check on first buffer and skip
214
+ formatting if first buffer has binary - still check at end to note
215
+ if formatting was done on file that was later determined to be binary,
216
+ but now potential file corruption is generally avoided
217
+ - Main binary check now uses new algorithm that should also treat UTF-8 and
218
+ other similar encodings as text, allowing proper line end translation
219
+ for UTF-8 files
220
+ - When output is not updatable by seeking back and Zip64 is enabled, output
221
+ is forced to Zip64 to avoid possible later need for Zip64 when not enabled
222
+ - More work on splits, but still not usable
223
+ - Fixes for djgpp
224
+ - Add log file capability to save all errors and optionally messages
225
+ - Add code to test for a Zip64 archive when compiled without Zip64 support
226
+ - New VC6 projects for Win32 and WinDLL
227
+ - Updates to extended help
228
+ - Changes to force-zip64 option
229
+ - ZE_BIG error now given also for files too big to read or write
230
+ - Fix file delete bug
231
+ - Update license
232
+ - Update export documentation
233
+ - Add VMS extended filename support
234
+ - Add directory traversal improvements, some for Win32 ports and some for
235
+ all ports, that can result in a 10 times increase in speed in some cases
236
+
237
+
238
+ New things in Zip 3.0d
239
+
240
+ - Some large file crypt fixes
241
+ - Some updates to support WiZ
242
+ - On VMS, changed -V (/VMS) processing to truncate file at EOF, allowing
243
+ greater compatability with non-VMS systems. New -VV (/VMS=ALL) option
244
+ saves all allocated blocks in a file. (Previously, -V did neither.)
245
+ - On VMS, pushed 2GB file size limit with -V out to 4GB
246
+ - On VMS (recent, non-VAX), with SET PROCESS /PARSE = EXTEND,
247
+ command-line case is preserved. This obviates quoting upper-case
248
+ options, like -V, when enabled
249
+ - On VMS, fixed problems with mixed-case directory names. Also changed
250
+ to keep ODS5 extended file name escape characters ("^") out of the
251
+ archived names in simple cases
252
+ - Changes to the display dots
253
+ - Option -W should now force wildcard matching to not cross directory
254
+ separators. For example, a/b*r/d will match a/bar/d but not a/ba/r/d
255
+ - Option -nw should turn off all wildcard matching so foo[bar] is matched
256
+ literally and [bar] is not considered a regular expression
257
+ - Atheos port
258
+ - Debugging of Unix and VMS large file ports. Most features may work now
259
+ on these ports for large files. Still need to fix 2 GB to 4 GB when not
260
+ compiled with large file support
261
+ - On VMS, added an open callback function which (where supported) senses
262
+ the process RMS_DEFAULT values for file extend quantity (deq)
263
+ multi-block count (mbc), and multi-buffer count (mbf), and sets the
264
+ FAB/RAB parameters accordingly. The default deq is now much larger
265
+ than before (16384 blocks, was none), and the default mbc is now 127
266
+ (up from 64), speeding creation of a large archive file. The "-v"
267
+ option shows some of the activity. On old VMS versions, RMS_DEFAULT
268
+ sensing (GETJPI) fails (silently, without "-v"), and no changes will
269
+ be made. Even there, (DCL) SET RMS /EXTEND = <big> can help
270
+ performance. RMS_DEFAULT values override built-in default values.
271
+
272
+
273
+ New things in Zip 3.0c
274
+
275
+ - Converted to using 64-bit file environment instead of transitional functions
276
+ like fseeko64 for ports that support it
277
+ - Added "--" argument to read all following arguments as paths
278
+ - Second help page added
279
+ - Binary detection adjusted from 20% binary is binary to 2%
280
+ - When -R and -i used together now -i has precedence over -R
281
+ - Archive names with spaces can now be tested on MSDOS and Win32
282
+
283
+
284
+ New things in Zip 3.0b
285
+
286
+ - Fixed ifdefs so can test base code by compiling with NO_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT, then
287
+ compiling with NO_ZIP64_SUPPORT to test 64-bit file calls (if port enables) but
288
+ otherwise use base code, and compiling normally to enable Zip64 code
289
+ - Unix Zip64 fixes - should now be able to create and read large files
290
+ - WinDLL changes to support Zip64. Zip 3.0 dll named Zip32z64.dll
291
+ - New VB example to show use of Zip32z64.dll
292
+ - New options -sc (show final command line and exit) and -sd (show each
293
+ step zip is doing, a little different than verbose which is still there) added
294
+ to help debug but both or at least -sd might go away in the release
295
+ - Some minor posted bugs fixed (see Changes)
296
+
297
+
298
+ New things in Zip 3.0a
299
+
300
+ - Initial Zip64 support allowing large files and large numbers of files
301
+ - New command line processor
302
+ - Other changes, see file Changes
303
+
304
+
305
+ Note: Zip 2.4 was never released. That code was the start of the Zip 3.0
306
+ effort above.
307
+
308
+
309
+ New things in Zip 2.3
310

332
+ - zip -t mmddyyyy, 4 digit year number for uniqueness of years beyond 2000
333
+ - zip -tt mmddyyyy only includes files before a specified date
