- The faster way would be using the public domain versions of ZIP/UNZIP.
- ZIP has currently the version 1.9p1 (patch level 1) and UNZIP has the
- version 5.0.
-
- These programs are fully compatible with PKWares PK(UN)ZIP V1.93alpha,
- AND they are available for several systems (not only PCs). The C-SOURCES
- were distributed by Info-ZIP in the newsgroup comp.sources.misc some
- weeks ago. (So it's not a commercial product, and they may not be used in
- a commercial product).
- )
- It's also true that PKWare has annouced the version V2.0 for PKzip/PKunzip,
- but looking at the work of Info-ZIP, I think that PKWare comes a bit late.
- I don't know, which net-nodes are in your near, but have a look at the
- following files:
- zip19p1.zip
- zip19p1.tar.Z
- unzip50.tar.Z (? .ZIP ?)
-
- Surely they are on wuarchive.wustle.edu and garbo.uwasa.fi .
-
- But I wonder that there are already files packed with V1.9 ???
- My version of muSiCIa.zip had been packed with PK-version 1.1.
- muSiCIa.zip // muZiKa.zip : do we mean the same ?
