ZIP 代表什么(压缩格式,而不是邮政编码)
有谁知道 PKZIP 和 GZIP 等程序中过去和现在使用的缩写 ZIP 代表什么? 有一种名为 Lempel-Ziv-Welch-Algorithm (LZW) 的压缩算法,也许是 Ziv 与其他人 ZIP 一起发明的?
我找不到任何关于它的信息,也许它不是缩写,而是它只是意味着“压缩文件”,但我认为最初还有更多关于它的信息。
Does anybody know for what the acronym ZIP stands for which was and is used in programs like PKZIP and GZIP?
There is a compression algorithm named Lempel-Ziv-Welch-Algorithm (LZW) maybe the guy named Ziv invented together with other people ZIP?
I cannot find anything about it, maybe its not an abbreviation but instead it just means "to zip files" but I think originally there was more about it..

ZIP 不是单一的算法; ZIP 存档中可以使用多种可能的压缩算法(有时甚至同一存档中可以使用多种不同的算法)。 PKZIP中的PK代表作者Phil Katz,但“zip”只是产品的名称,而不是缩写。
ZIP is not a single algorithm; there are many possible compression algorithms which may be used in ZIP archives (sometimes even several different algorithms in the same archive). The PK in PKZIP stands for the author Phil Katz, but the “zip” is just the name of the product, not an acronym.
