if unix was any more fun they would make it a game pack for playstation.Many times you like to group files and folders into a single file(archive), The motivation for that is sometimes because you like efficiently (smaller space, fast upload) to send the group of files and folder over the internet (mail, ftp.etc)as a single file, in other cases you just want to upload the group of files and folder to a web-server or a cloud storage in a single operation, you can find many other methods and technics how to do so, but one of the most simple and the efficient ways is by using the traditional ZIP command Go ahead open your terminal and try man moreMore is less, or is that less the opposite of more I don't know. You can find man pages for all of these and more. I know of a hand full tar, gzip, gunzip, zip, unzip, bzip2, bunzip2, bzip2recover, compress, uncopress, pax, cpio.

But I do know there are many unix archiving unarchiving tools some are named for what they do and what type files they work on. unzip filename.zipGuess what! Archive: csr005.zip creating: csr005/ extracting: csr005/csr005-03-the-apartment-the-moon-is-full.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-01-the-apartment-alone-now.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-02-the-apartment-dig-a-hole.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-05-the-apartment-ooh-what-fun.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-04-the-apartment-flowing.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005.jpg extracting: csr005/threeforks-slimart.jpg New Music, iTunes here we come.So what was the deal? I don't have a clue as to why double clicking did not work. I may have to give up and down load again. gunzip filename.zipunknown suffix - ignoredMaybe This is a lost cause. Bash (terminal) called me a dummy and said the file had bad obsolescent base-64 headers. tar -xvf filename.zip Works for almost anything on a redhat linux box, but no joy this time. Rather than burn more bandwidth, I open terminal and try my favorite can opener. I get tried of waiting and cancel the job. When I tried the double clicking a unarchiving window opens and I can tell my machine is chewing on what should be in a blink, a done deal (I mean go get a drink, come back and every thing has slowed because of this effort kind of job).

And reasons to use different tools, example: I just down loaded a new free album from and some thing was funky about the zip archive I got. There definitely is more than one way to skin this cat.
