WHAT DOES UNZIP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Zip (file format)

.ZIP is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. A.ZIP file may contain one or more files or folders that may have been compressed. The.ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms. The format was originally created in 1989 by Phil Katz, and was first implemented in PKWARE, Inc.'s PKZIP utility, as a replacement for the previous ARC compression format by Thom Henderson. The.ZIP format is now supported by many software utilities other than PKZIP. Microsoft has included built-in.ZIP support in versions of Microsoft Windows since 1998. Apple has included built-in.ZIP support in Mac OS X 10.3 and later. Most free operating systems have built in support for.ZIP in similar manners to Windows and Mac OS X..ZIP files generally use the file extensions ".zip" or ".ZIP" and the MIME media type application/zip. ZIP is used as a base file format by many programs, usually under a different name. When navigating a file system via a user interface, graphical icons representing.ZIP files often appear as a document or other object prominently featuring a zipper.
