Description:

Zipnote is part of a collection of command line archivers. It is used to write the comments in the zipfile to stdout.

Zip is the archiver, unzip the extracter, zipsplit turns a single archive into a multi-volume archive, and zipcloak deals with encrypting (default) and decrypting (-d) existing archives.

Compatable with pkzip/unzip (DOS) and bzip (LINUX et al). Full detail is available at the urls (below)

Note: there are also a wide range of products called "zipnote", such as an e-mail-to-postcard service and a Palm OS utility.
