Transferring A File to zip with Mac
mobrien_12:
If you compile the unix version its pretty easy from what I remember... like ./configure make etc.
It's a command line program.
Put the zip and unzip files into a directory in your path.
In command line, type "zip" by itself and it will give you a mini-man page
Zipping files is easy from the command line
zip foo.zip *
will zip everything in the current dirctory, making a file called foo.zip

Shouldn't there be some really easy GUI tool for this?

There probably is a gui in the maczip program, but since I havn't used it I cannot offer advice on it.
And the command line I posted isn't hard by any stretch.
hm_murdock:
also, have no fear. Panther will make .zip files for you when it comes out. It can archive folders to .zip directly from the Finder
Pissed_Macman:
That's good to know. But for now I give up on this whole thing.
