                                      About Info-ZIP

   Info-ZIP is a diverse, Internet-based workgroup of about 20 primary authors and
   over one hundred beta-testers, formed in 1990 as a mailing list hosted by Keith
   Petersen on the original SimTel site at the White Sands Missile Range in New
   Mexico.

   Info-ZIP's purpose is to provide free, portable, high-quality versions of the
   [6]Zip and [7]UnZip compressor-archiver utilities that are compatible with the
   DOS-based PKZIP by [8]PKWARE, Inc.

   Info-ZIP supports hardware from microcomputers all the way up to Cray
   supercomputers, running on almost all versions of Unix, VMS, OS/2, Windows
   9x/NT/etc. (a.k.a. Win32), Windows 3.x, Windows CE, MS-DOS, AmigaDOS, Atari TOS,
   Acorn RISC OS, BeOS, Mac OS, SMS/QDOS, MVS and OS/390 OE, VM/CMS, FlexOS, Tandem
   NSK and Human68K (Japanese). There is also some (old) support for LynxOS,
   TOPS-20, AOS/VS and Novell NLMs. Shared libraries (DLLs) are available for Unix,
   OS/2, Win32 and Win16, and graphical interfaces are available for Win32, Win16,
   WinCE and Mac OS.

   Info-ZIP code has been incorporated into a number of third-party products as
   well, both commercial and freeware. Some of the more interesting ones (well,
   historically speaking) include the use of [9]UnZip code in the unzip.dll
   distributed with IBM's OS/2 Warp BonusPak and WebExplorer, as part of the
   reinstallation code for the IBM Aptivas preloaded with OS/2 Warp, and as part of
   IBM's Infoprint product. Sun used Info-ZIP's self-extractor to distribute the NT
   version of their HotJava browser, Novell uses UnZip for NetWare 6 installation,
   and SAP includes it in Business One. Various Windows products such as WinZip and
   the DynaZIP DLLs incorporate Info-ZIP code, too. And let us not forget Pretty
   Good Privacy (PGP), an excellent encryption program that uses Info-ZIP code as a
   first step in encrypting files. Info-ZIP's primary compression engine has also
   been spun off into the free [10]zlib compression library, used in
   Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, the Linux kernel, Windows, Java, virtually all
   [11]PNG-supporting software, and countless other products.

   Info-ZIP can be reached by a web-based form, but you'll have to read our
   [12]Frequently Asked Questions page to find out how. Our two primary web sites
   are hosted by our very own Hunter Goatley and by the most excellent
   [13]SourceForge. Secondary distribution sites are hosted by the [14]Comprehensive
   TeX Archive Network.

   If you're brave enough, you can check out the [56]Info-ZIP Rogue's Gallery and
   see what some of us (used to) look like. It's fairly hideous.

   Former members of the core Info-ZIP group (i.e., those who no longer even pretend
   to be active) include:

     * [57]Mark Adler (US); original Zip author; UnZip decompression
     * [58]John Bush (US); Amiga, Solaris
     * Karl Davis (Australia); Acorn RISC OS
     * Harald Denker (Germany); Atari, MVS
     * [59]Jean-loup Gailly (France); Zip compression; former Zip
       maintainer/co-author; Unix, DOS [aussi [60]en français]
     * Robert Heath (US); Windows GUI

     * David Kirschbaum (US); original UnZip maintainer
     * Igor Mandrichenko (Russia/Ukraine); VMS
     * [62]Sergio Monesi (Italy); Acorn RISC OS
     * [63]Rainer Nausedat (Germany); 64KB deflate
     * George Petrov (Netherlands); MVS, VM/CMS
     * [64]Greg Roelofs (US); former UnZip maintainer/co-author; Unix, OS/2, DOS,
       early VMS port
     * Antoine Verheijen (Canada); Macintosh
     * [65]Rich Wales (US); original Zip co-author

   In addition, Info-ZIP would like to tip our collective hat to [66]Samuel H.
   Smith, the gentleman who wrote the original MS-DOS unzip on which Info-ZIP's
   UnZip 3.0 was based--and who kindly made the source code available for free. Even
   though virtually all of his code has by now been rewritten from scratch, Info-ZIP
   still owes Mr. Smith a debt of gratitude for getting us into this mess. A package
   of virtual chocolate-chip cookies is in the e-mail. :-)
