Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Question: Does BSD Unix have "zip" and "unzip" ? Red Hat Linux (they use that at my ISP, and I had Red Hat running briefly on a 386) has "zip" and "unzip", which work with and are compatible with the same .zip archives made by DOS pkzip and windows Winzip. So I can compress/uncompress archives in either operating system and the .zip files are interchangable. I hope BSD Unix has "zip". ALSO : Red Hat Linux had "Midnight Commander" - a linux version of the DOS "Norton Commander"... I can't imagine using DOS or linux without that! Could you run these in BSD Unix ? I am told that BSD Unix has a linux emulator. Can the linux emulator be used to run these programs ? _| ___| Rhyader _____| ~~~+~~~ ________| ___________| --------------|-------------- |----------- rhyader@surfari.net |-------- |----- http://www.surfari.net/~rhyader |--- |- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
