- Sounds like the files were compressed with Pkzip 1.92A (alpha release).
- You might try to get a copy of this public alpha release and try that.

- Why not use ZIP and UNZIP for the PC istself? It is easily available,
- fast and compatible. I use it on PC, HP-UX, Ultrix and VAX/VMS and it
- works. Splendidly.
-
- Get it from garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/arcers (or so I seem to remember).
