  • zip and unzip

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to All on Sun Aug 5 21:28:51 2018
    Hello All,

    What do you folks use to compress and decompress zip files today?

    One of my links is having problems with my inbound mail archives being renamed to bad because pkunzip is running out of memory.

    I suggested that infozip's zip and unzip might work better on his 32 bit windows setup but I am not sure if that is true or not since I use linux. I use infozip's zip and unzip here.

    I am also not sure of the command line for compress.cfg for infozip so if you could post your command line and comments on the above it would be appreciated.

    Ttyl :-),
    Al
