A ubiquitous file compression program.

• Also unzip

• I don’t use the GUI version, I use 7zip for that, or the built-in manager for Windows (various versions)

(1) ico file

1. Taken from Firefall – (2014 game) 1.7.1962 via Steam:

   • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Firefall\system\bin\unzip32.dll

–

• I prefer 7zip
• (date not recorded) – On Linux, I began preferring tar and bzip2[doesn’t exist]
• (from the beginning of my use of Linux) – On Linux, I use tar and gzip
• For a while i preferred something i think was called “ultra compressor”

• (dates not recorded) – I’ve used this on every platform I’ve ever touched; no notes were taken.

Noting all the versions doesn’t make any sense, since I use compatible programs on various platforms and operating systems across a lot of desktops, laptops, and servers. For example:

• UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Debian. Original by Info-ZIP.

  • 2024-12-29 – Windows Subsystem for Linux 2

• UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler. Send

  • 2024-12-29 – Some other host, Linux.

• BusyBox v1.36.1 (2024-06-12 11:52:11 UTC) multi-call binary.

  • 2024-12-29 – GoDaddy, Linux.
