-247>    The current version is 1.10 (PKZIP110.EXE).  If you've seen a
-248>    version 2.01, it's a hack (possibly from a beta-test version of
-249>    PKZIP 2.0) and is not authorized by PKWARE, Inc.  You can get the
-250>    authorized version from Simtel as PD1:<MSDOS.ZIP>ZIP110EU.EXE.  This
-251>    is the same as the standard version except it doesn't offer
-252>    authenticity verification (the -AV indicators) because of U.S. law.

-258>    I saw PKWARE's ad in the 28 April {PC Magazine} announcing PKZIP
-259>    2.0, but as a registered user I've not yet received any information
-260>    that it's actually available.
+256>    Since early 1992, PKWARE has been running ads in computer magazines
+257>    announcing 2.0; but it seems to be vaporware.  The latest actual
+258>    version, 1.93, is a test version not in general release, and not
+259>    guaranteed compatible with the eventual official release.  Several
+260>    versions that have been called 2.0 are actually hacked versions of
+261>    that beta-test version and are completely unauthorized.

+330>    BC++ 3.1 is now the current version; this information on 3.0 will be
+331>    removed from the next FAQ list (replaced, I hope, with 3.1 info).
