- You may have gotten an early version of the executables; the "_ex" means
- "export," i.e., no decryption. It is necessary to distribute Zip that

- file is irrelevant.

- Heh...problems with the posting. The announcement is in comp.sources.d,
- and there's now a pointer to it in comp.os.os2.apps, among others (which
- is where this whole discussion belongs, btw). The pointer posting also
- makes note of a couple of bugs which have already been discovered (sigh).
