- Zip was released in August; it does everything PKZIP 2.04c does,
- with the exception of multi-disk archives (which is poorly imple-
- mented in PKZIP anyway).
-
- I'll be sending out UnZip 5.0p1 in two or three days. It's under-
- going final testing now. (5.0 is able to unpack most PKZIP 2.04c
- files as is, but this will fix the two known incompatibilities. As
- with Zip, diskette-spanning archives will not be supported just yet.)
