Nothing special. But depending on the compression techniques used, it's a wasted effort, since it won't save more space having a compressed file on a compressed file system.

What is a series of instructions telling a computer how to read a compressed file?

A series of instructions telling a computer how to read a compressed file is typically referred to as a decompression algorithm. This algorithm processes the compressed data, interpreting its format and reconstructing the original file by reversing the compression process. Common decompression algorithms include ZIP, GZIP, and LZ77, each designed for specific compression techniques. The computer executes these instructions to restore the file to its usable form.

What are zip file?

The ZIP file type is primarily associated with 'Compressed Archive File'. A .ZIP file is a compressed archive. It can contain only one file or many files in multiple directories. ZIP utilities allow you to extract single files or a complete directory structure. The ZIP file format is a common archive and compression standard. This module provides tools to create, read, write, append, and list a ZIP file. Any advanced use of this module will require an understanding of the format, as defined in PKZIP Application Note. here you can find more information on this subject http://how-to-zip-a-file.com/#about

What does unzip mean?

A group of files compressed into one file using the "ZIP" algorithm is known as a zip file. This file can be read as a single file and is handy for sending or uploading said group of files as a single file. To unzip means the reversal of this process, the re-creation of individual, uncompressed, files and folders from a ZIP archive.You usually unzip a zip file when you receive a compressed file so the files function as they would in their normal uncompressed format.For example: You download a program you want to install, and the package is a zip file. You should firstly "unzip" or extract the files so you can run it properly.Note that ZIP and UNZIP are often used synonymous to compressing and archiving (ZIP) and decompressing and unpackaging (or: extracting) (UNZIP). However, ZIP (UNZIP) refer to just one representative of a whole range of algorithms used for the same purpose (that of combining multiple files into a compressed archive, and reversing that effect).
