Zipping and unzipping; packing and unpacking files directly on your BlackBerry is not available by default.

There is a quite new application called Ziplorer which fills this gap and brings real zip compatiblity to the BlackBerry. This means:

• Pack several files into one single .zip file.
• Unpack any .zip file no matter it has one file, more files or even a directory structure in it.

Simply install Ziplorer on your BlackBerry and start it. It is easy to use if you figured out that you need to press the Berry-Button (Menu) and select “Enter Dir” to go into a directory.

So how would you proceed if someone sends you a zip file via email? Here it is:

1. Take a look at the email you received and save the zip file to your BlackBerry.
2. Open Ziplorer.
3. Navigate to the directory you saved the zip file to.
4. Select the zip file (so it is marked).
5. Open the menu with the “Berry-Button” and select “Unzip”.
6. Now select the location (only version 2.0) and confirm. Before version 2.0 the file was automatically saved to your user’s home directory.

Now you got the files from the zip file in the directory you upacked them to. This is pretty easy, huh?
