Zip
Zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows 9x/NT, Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, BeOS, SMS/QDOS, MVS, VM/CMS, and others. It is analogous to a combination of the Unix commands tar(1) and compress(1) and is compatible with PKWARE's PKZIP and Nico Mak's WinZip. It's part of the Info-ZIP project.

Changes: This release adds support for Unix named pipes and adds a new option to detect "soft failures" (e.g., a wildcard pattern failed to match any files). It fixes/enhances the recursion option and fixes an encryption bug, NTFS timestamps, the delete-by-date option, a VMS logical-name parsing problem, and several other issues.
