- -247> The current version is 1.10 (PKZIP110.EXE). If you've seen a
- -248> version 2.01, it's a hack (possibly from a beta-test version of
- -249> PKZIP 2.0) and is not authorized by PKWARE, Inc. You can get the
- -250> authorized version from Simtel as PD1:<MSDOS.ZIP>ZIP110EU.EXE. This
- -251> is the same as the standard version except it doesn't offer
- -252> authenticity verification (the -AV indicators) because of U.S. law.

- -258> I saw PKWARE's ad in the 28 April {PC Magazine} announcing PKZIP
- -259> 2.0, but as a registered user I've not yet received any information
- -260> that it's actually available.
- +256> Since early 1992, PKWARE has been running ads in computer magazines
- +257> announcing 2.0; but it seems to be vaporware. The latest actual
- +258> version, 1.93, is a test version not in general release, and not
- +259> guaranteed compatible with the eventual official release. Several
- +260> versions that have been called 2.0 are actually hacked versions of
- +261> that beta-test version and are completely unauthorized.
-
- +330> BC++ 3.1 is now the current version; this information on 3.0 will be
- +331> removed from the next FAQ list (replaced, I hope, with 3.1 info).
