- More impressions on the new PKZip... it's fast! It took slightly more
- than half the time ARJ 2.30 did to compress my MOD directory (a good
- mix of text, executables, and sound files) down to about 800K. ARJ
- beat it by 1.5K, but that's nothing at that size.
-
- Also, info-zip folks: several files which I downloaded from
- archive.toronto.edu which had been packed with Info-Zip failed with
- CRC errors when I unpacked them with PKUnzip 2.04c. Unzip handled the
- same files with no problem. I don't have any files I know were packed
- with 1.93a around to test the new one it with.
