PKWARE Introduces PKZIP for VMS

PKWARE introduces PKZIP for VMS, offering multi-platform support for the
popular PKZIP data compression utilities.

PKZIP for VMS is cross-platform compatible with PKZIP for DOS and OS/2.
PKWARE's patented data compression technology makes it the TIGHTEST data
compression program available!

PKZIP for VMS supports the extended VMS file attributes for each file added
to a .ZIP file, and will restore those attributes when the file is
extracted with PKZIP for VMS. The attributes include the record
attributes, file characteristics, the creation, revision, expiration and
backup dates, number of file revisions, file protection, and owner and
journal flags.

Directory tree structures can also be stored, retaining the subdirectory
hierarchy, and permitting more than one file with the same name in a .ZIP
file.

Extensive help can be integrated into the VMS help library through a
provided help file for PKZIP for VMS. Easy to use documentation includes a
step-by-step tutorial, as well as detailed information on all program
aspects.

Data integrity is ensured by the use of a 32-bit CRC (Cyclic Redundancy
Check), which is significantly more reliable than a 16-bit CRC. The CRC is
generated by PKZIP during creation of the new .ZIP file, and is used by
PKZIP upon extraction to verify that the data has not been corrupted.

PKZIP allows you to select high speed or high compression, with the default
method of compression being a balance between the two. The result of
compression is an average savings in disk storage space of 50-70%, with
some files compressing to 1/10th their original size.
