PKzip compressed archives
PKzip is a popular archive format for Windows.
Most likely, an extractor for .zip files is already installed on your
computer (double-click on a .zip file to find out).
We are aware of the following unpacking tools:

including shareware versions of PKZIP 2.60.
- UnZip
- A freely available zip file extractor for Windows, Macintosh,
and all versions of Unix. Binaries are also available.
Note: our archives contain so-called long file names,
which must be preserved when extracting the archive.
