'''Szip''', AKA '''Sunzip'''<ref>V. 1.11 Windows/DOS distribution → README.TXT</ref>, is a file compression utility and compressed file format. It was written by Michael Schindler. Due to changes in the program, there are actually 3 incompatible Szip formats<ref name="newreadme">V. 1.12a, source → readme</ref>:
* the format used from v. 1.00 to v. 1.04;
* then, the format used in version 1.05X and its subversions (the "X" does not stand for anything; this is actually part of the version number<ref name="history" />);
* and then, the format used for version 1.10 (which came immediately after the 1.05Xs<ref name="history" />) and above.
