2qwk! in ZIP format

[BRIAN.HAMMACK@rook.wa.com (brian hammack)]

 SP cracked the whip and commanded of Greg:

| What is Zip format?  How do I unpack it?  And why the heck
| wasn't it shrunk with ShrinkIt like everything else?

 a| RTFM.

<rotfl, since I wrote the darn docs>  And Greg, Shrink It _was_ used, on
the files inside the ZIP.  It's a ZIP of SHK files, in udder wurds.

 a|         Since QWK packets are normally encoded in .ZIP format,
  |         You will need a .ZIP extractor to use them.
  |         Because of that, we feel it is legitimate to compress
  |         this software in .ZIP format.

And if you compare the PKZIP.EXE compressed file (done on Tom's PCT) to
the same stuff compressed with Shrink It alone, or Angel (if more than
one file COULD be done by Angel at a time), it's MUCHO smaller.

 a| it's Pkzip, or compatible... from the IBM world.  i know certain
  | unix things can handle this format, as can UNZIP for //e

Isn't UNZIP only compatable with PKZip 1.1, not 2.04?

 a| (ANGEL really does require a //e for some things, although it
  | -should- be patchable for a II+...)

If you can defeat the 65C02 MouseText which Angel (and 2qwk!) uses.
