ZIP

SprinterVersion: 0.1.0
Source code

ZIP.EXE is a PKZIP-compatible archiver for Sprinter DSS 1.70 and newer. It creates and updates ordinary single-disk ZIP archives and complements the UNZIP.EXE extractor.

Features

  • archive creation from files, directories, and wildcard sources, with optional recursion;
  • Store (-0) and Deflate (-1…-9), plus automatic selection of the smaller result;
  • adding and replacing files without recompressing retained records;
  • deletion of archive entries by mask;
  • repeatable exclusion masks;
  • preservation of CRC-32, DOS date/time, and archive comments;
  • transactional updates using temporary and backup files, with interrupted-update recovery;
  • cancellation of long operations with Esc or Ctrl+C.

Usage

zip.exe [options] <archive[.zip]> <source> [source ...]
zip.exe -d [-q] [-x <mask>]... <archive[.zip]> <archive-mask> ...

The utility uses classic ZIP fields. ZIP64, encryption, split archives, and dynamic Huffman blocks are not currently supported; newly compressed records use fixed Huffman blocks.
