Hi,

does anybody know if ther is any zip/unzip program running on Nokia 770 (IT2006) under development or still ready?
Can't find one in the maemo IT2006 software list and wonder why such a essential program is not one of the first which has been made available for IT2006.
Would be great if unzipping files downloaded from internet directly to the N770 were possible.

If you have a choice between the zip and tgz (or tar.gz) archives, pick the latter - at least you can uncompress it in xterm using command line 'tar'.

Thank's for the hint. But e.g. in case of SuperTux the levels are only available in .zip format :-(
But good to know to have an alternative (sometimes).

Hi.
I have made the packages, since an application that I am porting needed them.

Links:
zip

unzip

This packages only have binaries zip and unzip, no others more complex, to save space.

Regards.
