- According to a message stamped on the outside of the manual for PKZip,
- which I received about two weeks ago after finally registering, "PKZIP
- version 2.0 for MS-DOS anticipated shipping date is within the next
- several months due to hardware faults discovered in newer 80386 & 80486
- machines." I take this to mean that PKZIP version 2 is unavailable
- unless you have a beta version.
