- >> So where's Info-Zip's version of it?
-
- Well, once we get a copy of the new PKZIP, we'll make sure that it is
- compatible with our Zip 1.9 and Unzip 5.0, as they promised. We expect
- this to be so, in which case you already have it.
-
- The main thing that PKZIP 2.0xx will have that Info-zip doesn't is
- multi-volume archives. Once we see how PKWare implemented that, we
- will duplicate that functionality in Zip 2.0 and a subsequent version
- of Unzip.
