Fair enough.  But being able to unzip 1.10 files with 2.04C is not
totally insignificant.  Also, do not forget what Keith said about
the Info-ZIP products.  They can be used to unpack 2.04C files both
on Unix and on MsDos.  (To be accurate, on Unix the fully, all-out
compatible version of Info-ZIP's unzip is still on the way).  These
points do not contradict what you say, but should not be ingnored
either.

At the moment you are most certainly right.  It will take some time
for the new version to disseminate (even assuming the the bugs will
be corrected).

I have a CAM co-moderator's dilemma in here.  These discussions
concern a very intresting recent upload to an MsDos FTP archive and
problems of and views on the said program.  This makes this a fully
relevant subject in comp.archives.msdos.d.  However, since the most
discussions on this subject go on in comp.compression, I have
pointed the potential followups of this posting to comp.compression. 
That is anyway where this seems to be at right now. 

   All the best, Timo
