Unzip Librarian

Dilwyn Jones’s Unzip Librarian 1.00 pointer frontend for the original Info-ZIP UnZip 5.32 engine. Text, binary, empty-file and QDOS executable extraction were verified. Use a spare destination disk: the original engine may overwrite files. Minimum RAM is unknown; tests used 2 MiB. Tested environment: Minerva 1.98a1, 2048 KiB, Toolkit II and environment Pointer. Physical hardware and full validation have not been tested. See the supplied original README for operation and remaining limits.
