This document details the Info-Zip's Zip v3.0 and UnZip v6.0 kits available for OpenVMS IA64 and AXP based systems, provided by VMS Software Inc. (VSI).

Info-ZIP is an Internet-based workgroup formed in 1990 that develops free, portable, high-quality Zip and UnZip compressor-archiver utilities compatible with the DOS-based PKZIP.

VSI provides these utilities as a convenience for its OpenVMS customers but clarifies that it makes no claim to the Info-Zip code and does not offer software support for them. Users needing support, bug reporting, documentation, FAQs, or source files are directed to the Info-Zip SourceForge website.

VSI offers several download packages, including:

• Sources, documentation, build scripts, and pre-built executables for UnZip v6.0 and Zip v3.0 (including SFX versions for creating self-extracting executables).
• Zipped object files and executables for OpenVMS/Alpha platforms, compiled with "Large File Support" (greater than 2GB).
• A specific self-extracting archive containing pre-compiled and linked Zip v3.0 and UnZip v6.0 executables for OpenVMS AXP v8.4-2L1, also with "Large File Support."
