UnZip with System 6
Is there any software that will unzip .zip files under System 6? I tried all the stuffits, but they need System 7 for the versions that unzip .zips.
There is an old shareware program called "ZipIt 1.3.5" that seems to work.
I don't currently have a convenient way to upload something that is on a Sys-6 machine (working on that).

Just a general note, but if you are looking for quick answers and downloads, the System 6 Heaven site is always a good starting point. The 68000 Mac Internet FAQ is also a useful resource when you are trying to bring something "new" (OK, about 1995 vintage) to a 68K Mac on System 6.
I think I'll get the book from Amazon, since it's so cheap.
Have you tried the ZipIt web page? http://www.maczipit.com/download.html
Its by the same author that is listed in the 1.3.5 splash screen.
He lists a version 1.4 that works on Macs earlier than Sys 8.6. Since its shareware there is no harm in trying it. If that doesn't work you can contact the author and ask if he can supply version 1.3.5 which does work on Sys 6.0.8

It didn't work, which is a good thing because I already ordered the book with 1.3.5 on CD-ROM.
