Using SecureZIP for Mac Unzipping ZIP Files. To open (also known as extract) a ZIP archive and put the files in a folder: Note: All SecureZIP functions are available from the Services menu within Finder. Double-click the ZIP you want to open OR control-click on the file and select SecureZIP: Extract. ZIP extension desingates a popular archiving format, mainstream on Microsoft Windows systems. ZIP format specifications are maintained by PKWare which originally developed the format as part of Phil Katz's compression utility PKZip (1989), and it is currently undergoing evaluation for ISO/IEC standardization.

PKZIP for DOS
How do I ZIP files that are larger than one diskette onto multiple diskettes?
Unzip Utility For Mac
To do this, you would use the below syntax.
Example:
The -& is the important part of the above line and is telling pkzip to place your files onto multiple disks.
Will I be able to unzip a program with WinZip I zipped in PKZIP?
Assuming the file was zipped correctly, any file with the .zip extension can be pkunziped, and unzipped in WinZip or another compression utility.
Do you have a listing of available switches used at the command line?

How PKZIP and most other compression software work
How does PKZIP work? PKZIP uses several methods of compressing data by using seek out and eliminate redundant information within a file. With the redundant material removed, the file takes up less space. And because the information was redundant, PKUNZIP can restore that material when it unzips your file.
For example, consider the line below:
Normally the above statement would take 44 or more bytes of disk space because of the amount of words in the document. But this simple line contains a surprising amount of repetition. The letters 'in' and the space after the word 'in' are repeated at the ends of the words 'rain' and 'Spain' in the sentence. The letters 'ain' occurs four times, the two-character sequence 'n' plus a space occurs twice, and the three-character sequence 'he' plus a space occurs twice. What if you replaced each duplicate occurrence of one of these strings with a special code, called a token, that would stand for the duplicated numbers? Each token would contain a much shorter number combination that told you how many characters (including spaces) to count backwards in the string and how may characters were duplicated. Then the line would look like:
Data compression takes advantage of the way data is represented in the computer. The string's original form can be reduced to representative tokens. If the token is used repeatedly in a file (long strings of the character 0, for instance), that information can be stored in fewer bytes than the original string. Later, the representational list of tokens (compressed file) can be expanded to the original form ('uncompressed' file), without losing any of the original data.

Pkzip Unzip
The key to data compression is the ability to search a string of bytes, identify any sequences of repeated data, and represent the repeated data as tokens. Binary files often have long strings of zeros, and repeated sequences of machine data, which can be efficiently compressed as representative tokens.
