Product Description:

Installs zip 2.32 and unzip 5.52 files.

I noticed some time ago that there are a lot of machines out there without a copy of the zip and unzip binaries that Apple installs as part of their Developer Tools. As these tools are very useful, and several people, including myself, have written applications or scripts that depend at least in part on this binaries, I've built an installer.

Note, I didn't make the binaries, I'm just redistributing them because they can be hard to find and install if you're not "in the know".

These binaries are meant to be used from the Terminal and include no GUI, let alone an Aqua one. For your convenience, I have included a drag-and-drop AppleScript that will allow you to use the tools without going to the Terminal.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.1 now has an installer that works under OS X 10.4. It also includes new versions from zip (2.32) and unzip (5.52) .

Works great in Tiger now, thanks for the update. Works much better than any of the GUI ZIP tools. Documentation is fine, if you're downloading a command line utility you probably already know essentially how to use it anyway.
