- Same reason you can't use PKUNZIP on most of the zipfiles on hobbes:
- it doesn't support the deflation method used by zip 1.9 and DOS PKZIP
- 1.93. Get the UnZip 5.0 sources from one of the locations listed in
- the "Where" file included with both zip and UnZip (wuarchive.wustl.edu:
- /mirrors/misc/unix probably has a copy).
