Zipping up files in AIX UNIX
I need the command to add single pdf's to one zip file. I have tried gzip but all I can achieve is each file individually being zipped. This zip file then needs to be compatable with a windows unzip application such as winzip.

Hi.

As far as I know there is no (native) tool to "zip" multiple files into a single archive.

Normally you would create an archive using tar and then gzip the .tar file.

A tool like WinRAR can handle .tar.gz files on Windows, and although I never use it, I presume WinZip can too.

Standard commandline zip and unzip has almost certainly been ported to AIX as well, though it may need to be installed.

Code:
tar cvf - *.pdf |gzip > allpdf.tar.gz

if you have Java installed cheat and use the jar command . Smilie

it works just like the tar command.

Code:
jar cvf mypdfs.zip *.pdf
