- Possibly the file's creator got fooled by the notorious "v2.01" hack of PKZIP,
- which was really the v1.93 alpha release. Yes, it is a bad idea, even
- if v2.0 is available as shareware. The release date for 2.0 was either
- Sept. or Oct, and putting up a file in v2 format this soon after release
- is ridiculous. You might try unzipping it with v1.93 alpha.
