- Hello all,
-
- I just recently returned to the Usenet mail world as my school term began
- again in January. As such, I'm not sure if the following news made it here
- or not:
-
- The latest release of the CS-DOS Extra Utilities Pack V4.0 includes a
- complete unzipping system which can handle most v1.x PKWARE style ZIP files.
- In other words, its an unzipper for the CBM world.
-
- Note that it runs under CS-DOS on the 128; don't ask for a C64 or 128 native
- mode version, as it won't be coming.
-
- I'm currently working on a zipper as well, which will simply STORE files
- without compression. This will be so that users who MUST transfer ZIP files
- will be able to (some QWRRK users?). Expect this to be released in the next
- month or so.
-
- There was corrupt version of the current Pack floating around locally here
- in Toronto. However, the copy on GEnie, and two major Fido sites (Diamond
- Bar and The Enterprise BBS's) are just fine. Be sure to follow the
- documentation exactly in the file for BVUNZIP (that's its name,
- incidentaly).
-
- The filename is CS-XTRA4.LZH, and I hope to put it on cco.caltech.edu
- tonight in the pub/rknop/INCOMING subdirectory. I assume Rob will then move
- it to /pub/rknop/cs-dos.
-
- I appreciate all comments and suggestions, as well as your experiences with
- the package. Like the documentation says, it is a first effort, and I was
- rushed to get it out. Hence it is not as complete as I would have liked it
- to be (eg. not many options for different things). Your suggestions will
- help to define what V2.0 of BVUNZIP will look like. :))
-
- Enjoy!
-
- ...Bruce
