| Issue |
What are the file compression and decompression tools/methods for QNX4? Are there any similar tools to PKZIP and PKUNZIP for DOS.
|
| Solution |
The QNX tools for file compression are all documented in the QNX OS Utilities References. Here is a quick list.
cbpe - Use Byte-Pair Encoding to compress or decompress a file (QNX)
.bpe extension.
freeze - compress and uncompress files (UNIX)
.F extension.
melt - uncompress frozen files (UNIX)
.F extension.
gzip/gunzip/zcat - compress or expand files (GNU)
.gz or .GZ also recognizes .tgz and .taz as shorthands for .tar.gz or .tar.GZ.
There is also an PK-ZIP compatible archiver available for QNX in the Free Software section /usr/free/qnx4/os/utils/archivers/zip21.tgz. |
