- I am using the zip/unzip binaries from tsx-11(or banjo?). The zipping
- /unzipping speed is far slower than the pkzip/pkunzip DOS version,
- especially for large files (>= 100k). Anyone has the same problem?
-
- BTW, a little warning. I used a shareware program called zipsplit
- to split zip file made by Linux zip in DOS and when I wanted to
- unzip the sub-zipped files in Linux, the unzip won't do it.
