(of their own product.) They buy these ads way in advance. They've been running for months, and tell you that PKZIP 2.0 is available now. They spent thousands of dollars on advertising because they thought the product would be out by them (shades of many games which advertise for xmas then miss the deadline completely). PKWare has stated that there will never be a 2.0 version in one of their releases. -- Chopped cabbage - it's not just a good idea... it's the slaw
