About:
UnZip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive, commonly found on DOS and Windows systems. A companion program, Zip, creates ZIP archives; both are part of the Info-ZIP project. Both programs are compatible with archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP or Nico Mak's WinZip, but in many cases the program options or default behaviors differ.

That is incorrect. The zlib in-memory, deflate/inflate compression library is there (or at http://www.zlib.org/), but Zip and UnZip are separate (and older) command-line utilities for processing zipfiles. They live at http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ (web pages) and ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ (files).

Note that UnZip can use zlib, but this is optional.
