- This is just a guess, but what I think happened is that you got ahold
-
- of a file packed with the "Info-Zip" archiver and then tried to unpack
- it with the PKUnZip program. Info-Zip uses an odd "imploding" routine
- that PKZip can't handle. This might cause the premature EOF.
-
- The solution is to find a copy of the Info-Zip unpacker or to get
- your Sysop to repack the file with normal PKZip. I found Info-Zip
- for OS/2 on an OS/2 BBS -- but of course, this was after I downloaded
- the C2 archive again just to make sure it was okay :-).
