- It is my experience that PKUNZIP will notify you that the file didn't
- inflate correctly but the file is fine. Your mileage may vary.

- If ANY file spans 2 disks, it'll report a CRC error for the file that's
- being completed. I restored 4 disks today and got a message every time
- I put in a new disk, but the files were fine.
