- Another bug has shown up in PKZ204C (I can't believe how buggy this
- is), confirmed by several people (including on CompuServe) and tried
- by me. If you backup your hard disk with the "-&" option you may lose
- some of your data.
-
- If the very last file compressed spans two floppy disks, it will not
- decompress correctly. If there is an additional file at the end, it
- seems to work fine.
-
- Given all the bugs, I'd strongly suggest doing a "pkunzip -t" on
- anything important you make.
