Or continue using version 1.10. I have now thought about the state of the matters, listened what others have had to say in comp.compression in particular, and found myself two, possible three bugs. From an MsDos FTP archive site maintainer's point of view I have no other choice at this stage than not accepting .zip uploads if they have not been made with PKZIP 1.10 or Info-Zip's garbo.uwasa.fi:/unix/arcers/zip10ex.tar.Z. For the time being Garbo uploads packed with pkz204c.zip or zip19p1.tar.Z are discouraged. (There is nothing wrong with zip19p1, mind you!). I can only hope that these problems are ironed out a.s.a.p. All the best, Timo ..................................................................
