- To clarify what Nico said:

- >> InfoZIP 1.9, InfoUNZIP 5.0. These are portable PKZIP clones which are
- >> compatible with PKZIP 1.1, PKZIP 1.93a and PKZIP 2.0 (according to PKWARE).
-
- True, but InfoZIP 1.9 is not compatible with pkUNzip 1.1--InfoZIP 1.9 only
- uses the newer compression method introduced by PKZIP 1.93 and (the ever-
- promised) PKZIP 2.x. There is also an InfoZIP 1.1 for generating zip
- files compatible with PKUNZIP 1.1.
-
- InfoUNZIP 5.0 works with all the formats (1.1 and 1.93).
