- Some of the new features of PKZip 2.04c are, supposedly much better
- compression, faster compression, multiple volumes capabilities, support
- for XMS/EMS, autodetect of CPU type, a minimized version of pkzip and unzip
- that takes less memory (fewer options though)...
-
- To make this clear, 1,93a was the alpha version. 3.05 does NOT exist, so
- it's a hack. 2.04c IS released from PKWare and my best suggestion is to
- get it directly from PKWare BBS at (414)354-8670
