Internet PacKage is an application with a set of functionalities that are coded with file compression and decompression specifications similar to the standards found in the Debian package algorithm. This tool is generally classified as a file compression and decompression application, and support along with development has been discontinued for Internet PacKage as of this writing. This file compression and decompression program can be used to create IPK archives that contain files and folders selected by the user, and the content of these IPK files can be extracted through the corresponding functionalities that are embedded into Internet PacKage for decompressing IPK archives. These IPK files are used as installers of applications that were developed for compatible handheld devices, and for file archives that need to be transmitted to and from supported computers and these handheld devices.
