- From the steady stream of such observations over the last year
- that I've seen here and on Compuserve, I am sure that its PHONY.
-
- Latest announcements on Compuserve from PKZIP say that they
- expect to ship the real new pkzip to customers early Jan, and
- post it on BBS's shortly thereafter. I don't know by what
- name/version they are calling the real one.
-
- The warning of such is available, for example as
- MSDOS/ZIP/WARN201.ZIP on my favorite wuarchive mirror.
