[Sorry, this should have been part of the crosspost, but I missed this group] I have uploaded PKZip 2.04c to wuarchive.wustl.edu in the pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory. It's pkz204c.exe and pkz204c.txt. Before any flames start, this is downloaded directly from the PKWareBBS. So is this announcement: From the PKWare BBS at 1-414-354-8670: Last Update: 01/04/93 ********************************************************************* ******* PKZIP 2.04c is shipping. Please allow 7-10 business ******* ******* days to process and ship orders. It will appear on ******* ******* BBS's shortly here after. ******* ********************************************************************* Do not trust or use any version of PKZIP other than 1.10,1.93, and 2.04c. All other versions currently circulating on BBS's are fakes. These fake programs should be considered hostile and not be trusted, they may contain viruses, trojans, or other tricks. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE MESSAGES ASKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT BUSINESS, CURRENT ORDERS,UPGRADES,ADDRESS CHANGES/CORRECTIONS,ETC AS THE BBS IS NOT SETUP TO HANDLE THESE. IT IS MORE EFFICIENT TO CALL THE OFFICE AND TALK TO A CUSTOMER REPRESENATIVE. OUR NUMBER IS 414-354-8699 WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. -- I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about 'short' and 'cheap'? -- Phyllis Diller

Scan99 and VirX can detect the Maltese Amoeba and they say I (and the files) are fine. -- Don't string too many prepositional phrases together unless you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

Well, contrary to other people's reports, I was very definately infected with the Maltese Amoeba virus. Fortunately, I was able to get a friend to load a new system into my comp, plus the fact that I deleted the infected files out of my system before any more damage could be done. Well here's the damage. My DOS files are gone. Totally scrambled. Also, as a point of interest, the file I received was pkz204.exe and when uncompressed the files passed the verification checks. Which leads me to believe that the virus I had was shipped in the original. Yep, you know what that means. Well, enough for here. Write back on e-mail to me if you have any question as to whether there is a virus on this file. =============================================================================== Jeffrey Imes "It's really tragic how a family can get torn CIS Undergraduate Student apart by something as simple as wild dogs." imes@cis.ohio-state.edu -- Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I downloaded pkz204c.exe, I had vshieldv99 running, I unpacked it, and then ran scan99, and I've been tinkering with PKZIP since. No detected problems as of now.
