PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>CHANGES.DOC Last revised: March 29, 1993
WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil switches to ZIP 2.0
Effective April 2, 1993 many of the new ZIP files uploaded to SIMTEL20
will be in the public domain ZIP version 2.0 format. After that date
the index files SIMIBM.ZIP and SIMLIST.ZIP will be created in the new
format.
SIMTEL20 has standardized on the Info-ZIP group's ZIP and UNZIP because
they are freely distributable and they have no restrictions on exporting.
The latest version of Info-ZIP's ZIP and UNZIP can always be found in
directory PD1:<MSDOS.ZIP> and will always have the name "Info-ZIP" in
the description to make them easy to locate.
PKWare's PKZIP 2.x will not be offered due to export restrictions.
Older versions of PKZIP will be deleted to avoid confusion due to
the fact that they cannot handle the ZIP version 2.0 format files.
