*** 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,
