Hi folks,

   I was logon to a local BBS today and I seen a copy of PKWARE
pkunzip version 2.01.  Is this a "phony" hacked version of
pkunzip or is it legitimate?  I recall a hacked version
circulating about one year ago and I wonder if this is the
same one so I could warn the SysOps.

BTW, I also recall PKWARE posted an official statement of
a hacked copy.  Is this announcement still available from ftp
so I can get it and send it to the SysOps.

Thanks.
