Nevertheless, software for creating archives, or extracting files from archives, in the format common to one operating system can often be found on other operating systems.
For this reason, it is common for archive formats to include an indigenous compression method; that is, the archive is always compressed, as a matter of course.
Software supporting the archive format automatically handles the compression and decompression; the user is generally unaware that the archive has been compressed.

 Keys to the kingdom - Penn Printout, Feb 95
The disadvantage to these self-extracting archives is that, since they are binary executables, they cannot be unarchived on other operating system platforms without software emulation of the operating system under which they were created.
The most popular file formats are archive formats, which are designed to maintain some external features of a collection of files, most often their placement in a directory structure.
PC and Macintosh archives are typically generated by an archive program that supports compression, so although in the general case they need not be compressed, they almost always are.

Extracting the files from a shell archive requires that sed be accessible.
The individual files can be extracted by redirecting the shell archive into the shell.

 Infectable Objects Part Four- Viruses in Archive Files and Compressed Files
Self-extracting archives usually work by including a decompression program with the archive, and this program itself can be infected.
Because any archive file can contain one or more already-archived files inside it, a virus scanner must be able to not only decipher the contents of an archival file, but also to subsequently scan inside each of the compressed files inside the main compressed file.
We can think of it, and other archive files, as a container into which we squish one or more files, reducing their size as they are added to the file.

 WinZip
Although WinZip 8.0 can create spanned Zip archive on self-extracting files --as it does all other file types--you need to unzip the archive first using WinZip before you can run the self-extracting files, which defeats the purpose of software-independent self-unzipping.
WinZip will begin compressing the file(s) onto the zip or floppy disk(s) and when it finishes, detailed information about the zipped file(s) included in the archive will be shown in the Main Window.
This assumes that you want to unzip a zipped archive from a floppy disk(s) onto the hard drive of your own computer, and that your floppy and hard drives are A: and C:, respectively.
