- So far I have seen the following problems with PKZIP 2.04c:
-
- - volume labels are not correctly stored (not at all it seems)
- - runing PKUNZIP from a batch files generates CRC errors, crashes etc
- - there seems not to be a way to verify a multivolume archive
- - under OS/2 2.0 the program crashes at random moments
- - there seem to be problems with PKZIP.CFG
- - authenticy verification has been cracked by Paul Kochner in 1 hour
-
- If anyone has more experience, please share them (also correct me if I
- am wrong).
