UNZIP 4.1 source code for the Atari ST
======================================

The source code for UNZIP 4.1 (or later) is available through
anonymous ftp from:

	simtel20.army.mil	misc/unix/unzip41.*
or	wuarchive.wustl.edu	mirrors/misc/unix/unzip41.*

I have compiled unzip.prg with TURBO C 2.0 for the ATARI ST, probably
the best C compiler available for the Atari ST.

My modifications to unzip:

1) ATARIST.PAT
	- an alignment problem in the data (unzip.c)

	- set '\' as the path character for the Atari ST (mapname.c)

	- additions to unzip.h so that Turbo C for the Atari ST is  happy.
	  I think I didn't break anythig else, at least the Sun's version
	  compiles just as before.
	  I commented massively in unzip.h because the configuration
          is not well thought out.  The last time I generated the ST
          version I threw out all the mess, the result of which was that
          my version wasn't distributed.  I hope that will fit in better
          this time.  If anybody cares about the comments, just clean up
          the code (together with comments).

2) OPTIMIZE.PAT
	This patch is general and not related to the Atari ST.
	It speeds up the processing by as much as 30% by
	eliminating many function calls, optimizing some
	macros and using a ULONG bitbuffer.  The claimed
	performance gain is on a Sun, using unzip -t some-file.
	I didn't measure the speed on the Atari ST.

3) SYMLINK.PAT
	This applies to unix systems only.  Unzip does extract
	symbolic links correctly now.

4) UNIXBLAN.PAT
	On Unix systems, file names may contain blanks.
	If they do, why not allow them to be restored exactly?
	For all other systems still change the blanks to '_'.

Due to historic reasons the order these patches were applied is
 3 - 4 - 1 - 2.  However they do not overlap and can therefore be
applied independently.

I am providing UNZIP.PRG for the Atari ST as UNZIP41.ARC
for those who don't have any unzipper yet.

Special features:
=================

 Unzip.prg uses a special version of the startup file which is capable
 of recognizing extended parameters a la Beckemeyer/Mark Williams shell,
 using the "ARGV=" Environment variable.

 Although the Turbo C compiler is quite good, the libs are buggy!
 Therefore I cannot garantee that any unzip.prg compiled with Turbo C
 will ever run successfully. Mine seems to be ok., but I have fixed
 various problems for my lib. Especially the stat() was making trouble.

However, if someone wants to compile it the same way I did,
there are essentially 3 ways:
- using a shell, and the command line compiler TCC,
  as indicated by the script 'MAKEIT',

- using some sort of make and 'MAKEFILE.ST'
  This and the previous case both require also 'TLINK.OPT'

- using the interactive version 'TC' of Turbo C and
  the supplied 'UNZIP.PRJ'.

Please read the note above about problems which might arise
when you recompile unzip on your Atari.
