The following code used another command 'gzip' to zip up a file on Unix.
Winzip has no trouble extracting the file when it has been ftp'd as a
BINARY file.   By adding other options you should be able to extract files
from an archive.

Hope this helps

  | Is there a zip utility that would convert PC based zipped files

  +----------------------------------------------------------------

Most Solaris boxes that I've been on have 'zip' and 'unzip'
installed.  Here is a brief exerpt from the unzip man page:

NAME
     unzip - list, test and extract compressed  files  in  a  ZIP
     archive

SYNOPSIS
     unzip     [-Z]     [-cflptuvz[abjnoqsCLMVX$]]     file[.zip]
     [file(s) ...]  [-x xfile(s) ...] [-d exdir]

DESCRIPTION
     unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP  archive.
     The  default  behavior  (with no options) is to extract into
     the current directory  (and  subdirectories  below  it)  all
     files  from the specified ZIP archive.  A companion program,
     zip  (available   from   http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/),
     creates  ZIP  archives;  both  programs  are compatible with
     archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP  for  MS-DOS,
     but  in  many cases the program options or default behaviors
     differ.

Best regards to list,

Bob
