People using Macs should be aware of the program found at:

What is ZipIt?
ZipIt is a Macintosh program that zips and unzips archives in a format
fully compatible with PKZip for the IBM and zip implementations on other
systems. 
ZipIt is a Macintosh program
ZipIt features a complete Macintosh interface. In version 2.0, the ZipIt
interface has been completely overhauled. Now easier to use than even
before, ZipIt makes file compression fun. 

Mac OS X users will love the fact that ZipIt runs natively on OS X. ZipIt
also takes full advantage of the Aqua user interface. 

Zip archives
A zip archive is any file that ends with the extension '.zip'. The zip
format is popular on the IBM, and is widely used as an interplatform
compression format. In addition, ZipIt can compress Macintosh applications
and documents without losing any of their data. ZipIt is best used when
transferring compressed documents to and from other computer types. Some
examples are: text files, TIFF pictures, Excel databases, and QWK message
packets, to name just a very few. Note that files that end in '.Z' or '.gz'
are not ZipIt files, even though Netscape may give them a ZipIt icon. 

ZipIt is fully compatible with all versions of PKZip on the IBM, Info-ZIP
on Unix, and zip implementations on other platforms. 

Shareware
ZipIt is $20 shareware. You are encouraged to try it out before paying. All
features are available in the unregistered version. Once you register, you
will receive a password that will cause the seven-second registration
screen to stop appearing. In addition, your password will enable the
encryption capabilities of ZipIt.
