- Seems that appnote.txt had a hardwhare bug in the infinite
- compression routine. They are trying very hard to
- retrocompile it to appnote.doc.
-
- Also, there has appeared a deal with WEB, to use their
- compression routines in the next release of pkzip x.x.
-
- Rumor has it that they have decided to wait until a time
- machine is invented, then they can create pkzip, go back in
- time and release it in september 1991.
