hp-ux compression utility

[robert dodd_2]

Hi All

Do any of you know if there is a utility similar to this

http://h30097.www3.hp.com/demos/ossc/html/zip.htm

which has compression, is compatible with windows zip products, and runs on HP-UX v11

Kind Regards

Robert

This is ditributed as source so all you need to do download and run make and it should compile for HP-UX.

On the flip side you can get UNIX utilities (tar, cpio, gzip, etc) already built and ready to run on your windows.

Hi Robert,

Here's the URL for the depoted zip 2.3 on the porting center:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Misc/zip-2.3/

And here's unzip 5.51:

HTH,
Jeff

It has to be added to the box after installation. Other utilities are just Unix to Unix protable. Nothing as such compatible to Windos zip or winzip. Although i have seen it with SUN, i havent come across on HP.

Thanks
