That is absolutely correct, PKWare has been advertising the release of
PKZip 2.0 in many popular magazines this month, including Dr.Dobbs Journal.
I think that whoever wrote saying that ther will NEVER be a 2.0 version,
was incorrect in saying so, after all PKWare would not spen thousands
of dollars on false advertising. (of their own product.)
