- A plug here for the public domain version of zip/unzip (by the InfoZip
- group) - this is a program that works very well, AND exists in versions for
- several operating systems (I use it with UNIX on the Sun at work and with
- (4)dos on a 386SX clone at home - it even has a switch for converting text
- formats) - much better than PKZip 1.1 and a buggy 2.04. I think it ought to
- be more widely used than it is. It is PKZip compatible.
