*** Description

Zip 2.1 is a compression and file packaging utility.  It is compatible with 
PKZIP 2.04g (Phil Katz ZIP) for MSDOS systems.  There is a companion to zip
called unzip (of course) which you should be able to find the same place
you got zip.

*** Installation

  1)  transfer the archive to your hp3000 (ftp, samba, reflection)
  2)  uncompress the archive (uncompress, gzip)
  3)  extract the archive (mover, tar)

  *** NOTE ***
  i)   The archive contains absolute file names, if this is not what you want
       you are on your own.
  ii)  All the binaries have been linked to hpbin.sys.
       eg:  zip.hpbin.sys = /usr/local/bin/zip
  iiI) read the documentaion in /usr/local/doc/unzip


*** Configuration

  1)  modify your PATH variable to include /usr/local/bin
  2)  modify your MANPATH variable to include /usr/local/man

  *** NOTE ***
  i)  Both of these variables can be modified in /etc/profile.
  ii) The default /etc/profile does not include a MANPATH variable.
      To correctly add the variable add the following line
        MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/local/man
        export MANPATH


*** Testing

  1)  zip <archive name> <file1> <file1> <file3> ...
  2)  unzip -t <archive name>

Have fun and good luck,
