zipped file

   1. <tool, compression, file format> To create a compressed
   {archive} (a "zip file") from one or more files using
   {PKWare}'s {PKZIP} or a compatible {archiver}.  Its use is
   spreading from {MS-DOS} now that portable implementations of
   the {algorithm} have been written.

   zip is also the name of a {Unix} archiving utility compatible
   with {PKZIP}.  {unzip} is the corresponding de-archiver.

   See also {gzip}, {tar and feather}.
