  • The ZIP file format is a data compression and archival format. A ZIP file contains one or more files that have been compressed, to reduce their file size, or stored as-is. A number of compression algorithms are permitted in zip files but as of 2008 only DEFLATE is widely used and supported. The format was originally evolved by Phil Katz for PKZIP from the previous ARC compression format by Thom Henderson. However, many software utilities other than PKZIP itself are now available to create, modify, or open ZIP files, notably WinZip, BOMArchiveHelper, KGB Archiver, PicoZip, Info-ZIP, WinRAR, IZArc, 7-Zip, ALZip, TUGZip, PeaZip, Universal Extractor and Zip Genius. Microsoft has included built-in ZIP support in later versions of its Windows operating system. Apple has included built-in ZIP support in Mac OS X 10.3 and later via the BOMArchiveHelper utility. The zip, zipcloak, zipnote, zipsplit tools are used widely in unix-like systems. ZIP files generally use the file extensions ". zip" or ". ZIP" and the MIME media type application/zip. Some software uses the ZIP file format as a wrapper for a large number of small items in a specific structure. Generally when this is done a different file extension is used. Examples of this usage are Java JAR files, Python . egg files, id Software . pk3/. pk4 files, package files for StepMania and Winamp/Windows Media Player skins, XPInstall, as well as OpenDocument and Office Open XML office formats. Both OpenDocument and Office Open XML formats use the JAR file format internally, so files can be easily uncompressed and compressed using tools for ZIP files. Google Earth makes use of KMZ files, which are just KML files in ZIP format. Mozilla Firefox Add-ons are zip files with extension "xpi". Nokia's mobile phone themes are zipped with extension "nth". Sony Ericsson mobile phone themes are zipped with extension "thm". (en)
  • ZIP — популярный формат сжатия данных и архивации файлов. Файл в этом формате обычно имеет расширение . zip и хранит в сжатом или несжатом виде один или несколько файлов, которые можно из него извлечь путём распаковки с помощью специальной программы. ZIP был разработан Филом Кацем для использования в программе PKZIP. Впоследствии появилось множество других утилит, работающих с этим форматом. (ru)
  • Zip är ett filformat som står för komprimerad arkivfil, det vill säga en datafil som är komprimerad och därmed tar mindre lagringsutrymme, och som även kan innehålla många olika filer . Algoritmen som Zip använder heter DEFLATE. Den använder både LZ77-algoritmen och Huffmankodning. Formatet var ursprungligen utvecklat av Phil Katz och hette då PKZIP. Idag finns det en uppsjö av program som använder zipformatet. Bl.a. WinRAR, WinZip, 7-Zip men även Microsoft har integrerat det i sina senare operativsystem. Det finns även en typ av disketter som kallas för ZIP-drive. Dessa rymmer betydligt mer data än vanliga 3½"-disketter Se diskett (sv)

  • Lo ZIP è un formato di compressione dei dati molto diffuso nei computer IBM-PC con sistemi operativi Microsoft e supportato di default nei computer Apple con sistema operativo Mac OS X. Supporta vari algoritmi di compressione, uno dei quali è basato su una variante dell'algoritmo LZW. Ogni file viene compresso separatamente, il che permette di estrarre rapidamente i singoli file (talvolta anche da file parzialmente danneggiati) a discapito della compressione complessiva.Il formato originale supportava un debole schema di protezione con password, attualmente considerato inadeguato. Versioni più recenti dei programmi che gestiscono questo formato spesso supportano algoritmi più recenti e funzionali . Essendo un formato senza perdita di informazioni, viene spesso utilizzato per inviare programmi o file che non possono essere modificati dal processo di compressione. Nato in ambiente DOS, ha trovato con il passare del tempo validi concorrenti in altri formati, come ARJ, RAR, ACE o 7z che offrono un rapporto di compressione maggiore; la sua grande diffusione gli permette tuttavia di essere considerato uno standard de facto per tali sistemi. Ne esistono versioni per Unix e Mac OS, in cui però sono più diffusi altri software, con prestazioni migliori, come ad esempio bzip2, gzip, StuffIt e DiskImage. (it)
