Which package for pkzipped files?

[Richard Lyon]

Hello,

I have an archive file created on a windows machine with pkzip. Which debian 
package is most suitable for extracting files from this archive? There is no 
password protection on the file.

Regards ...

Go into dselect and type '/' and then 'zip'.  This should find you the
packages 'zip' and 'unzip', which can deal with PkZIP files.

Get zip-crypt_*.deb and unzip-crypt_*.deb.

You should find that they will also work on PKZip encrypted files. I
presume that they have no trouble with later (windoze) versions of PKZip -
I've yet to encounter a (zip) file that they could not extract from unless
that file was corrupted.

You should be able to source the files from one or more of the following
sites:

non-us.debian.org   - in Germany (I think)
mirror.aarnet.edu.au- here in Oz
debian.vicnet.net.au- in Vic, here in Oz
ftp.au.debian.org   - in WA (I think), here in Oz

No doubt there are a hundred other plces as well.
