have you tried gzip/gunzip - which is already included with hpux?

[Helen French]

Hi Preet:

There is no PKZIP/PKUNZIP utilities in HP-UX. You 've got lot of other commands/utilities in HP, which perform the same functions - gzip, unzip, gunzip, compress etc.

These commands are part of the OS and you can do 'man' for details:

# man gzip

Also check this document too:

HTH,

Hi Preet


Do a man gzip , there is no pkzip stuuf , however you can use gzip , zcat or tar to do the same .

In case you want to uncompress the files from some other source , but genreally most of them would be in either of the formats available already on HPUX.

The links I posted are *exactly* pkzip and pkunzip for unix! Create an archive like

zip -9 -b /tmp -@ archive.zip
and use winzip or any M$ written bloat to look in it. Don't tell the poor user it does not exist.

Better still, these are *FREE* uncommercial ports.

Hi There are no PKZIP and PKUNZIP available for HP-UX. The equivelent product which HP-UX supports are gzip,gunzip....etc....there are few more products available. You can also fine it on HP archive and porting site...

Dear Colleagues,

Many thanks for all your replies. I tried using uncompress, gunzip, zcat to unpack my file (it was an Oracle web portal patch file with a .zip extension) but it reported an error with all these utilities. However I downloaded the unzip utility from the link posted by procura and this works perfectly!

Thanks again people - much appreciated as always.

Best Regards,
Preet :-)

Now fully supported from perl

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Archive::Zip version 1.00
From: Ned Konz
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 08:37:08 -0700
Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.modules
User-Agent: KNode/0.7.1

Archive::Zip version 1.00 has been released.

From the README:

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate,
read, and write Zip archive files.

Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files
or strings (using IO::Scalar). Once created, they can be written to
files, streams, or strings.

Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and
enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or
other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or
uncompressed as needed. Members can be created from members in existing
Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings.
Directory trees can be added or extracted simply using the
Archive::Zip::Tree module.

This module uses the Compress::Zlib library to read and write the
compressed streams inside the files. Note that versions of Compress::Zlib
prior to 1.06 truncate data and should not be used.

Compress::Zlib prior to 1.08 caused crashes on some Windows systems.

Examples and helper libraries are given to show how:
* zip files can be read and written to strings
* zip files can be written in chunks to arbitrary functions

CHANGES SINCE VERSION 0.11:

- Added writeScalar.pl and readScalar.pl to show use of IO::Scalar
- Fixed docs
- Fixed bug with EOCD signature on block boundary
- Made it work with IO::Scalar as file handles
- added readFromFileHandle()
- remove guess at seekability for Windows compatibility
- Added several examples:
- examples/calcSizes.pl
How to find out how big a zip file will be before writing it
- examples/readScalar.pl
shows how to use IO::Scalar as the source of a zip read
- examples/unzipAll.pl
uses Archive::Zip::Tree to unzip an entire zip
- examples/writeScalar.pl
shows how to use IO::Scalar as the destination of a zip write
- examples/zipGrep.pl
Searches for text in zip files
- Changed required version of Compress::Zlib to 1.08
- Added detection and repair of zips with added garbage (as caused by
the Sircam worm)
- Added more documentation for FAQ-type questions, though few seem to
actually read the documentation.
- Fixed problem with stat vs lstat
- Changed version number to 1.00 for PHB compatibility
