What is ZipIt?
ZipIt is a Macintosh program that zips and unzips
archives in a format fully compatible with PKZip for the IBM and zip
implementations on other systems.
ZipIt is a Macintosh program
ZipIt features a complete Macintosh
interface. In version 2.0, the ZipIt interface has been completely overhauled.
Now easier to use than even before, ZipIt makes file compression fun.
Mac OS X users will love the fact that ZipIt runs natively on OS X.
ZipIt also takes full advantage of the Aqua user interface.
Zip archives
A zip archive is any file that ends with the extension
'.zip'. The zip format is popular on the IBM, and is widely used as an
interplatform compression format. In addition, ZipIt can compress Macintosh
applications and documents without losing any of their data. ZipIt is best used
when transferring compressed documents to and from other computer types. Some
examples are: text files, TIFF pictures, Excel databases, and QWK message
packets, to name just a very few. Note that files that end in '.Z' or '.gz' are
not ZipIt files, even though Netscape may give them a ZipIt icon.
ZipIt is fully compatible with all versions of PKZip on the IBM, Info-ZIP on Unix, and zip implementations on other
platforms.
Shareware
ZipIt is $20 shareware. You are encouraged to try it out
before paying. All features are available in the unregistered version. Once you register, you will
receive a password that will cause the seven-second registration screen to stop
appearing. In addition, your
password will enable the encryption capabilities of ZipIt.
