Some of the new features of PKZip 2.04c are, supposedly much better compression, faster compression, multiple volumes capabilities, support for XMS/EMS, autodetect of CPU type, a minimized version of pkzip and unzip that takes less memory (fewer options though)... To make this clear, 1,93a was the alpha version. 3.05 does NOT exist, so it's a hack. 2.04c IS released from PKWare and my best suggestion is to get it directly from PKWare BBS at (414)354-8670 >Tim Irvin >**************************************************************************** >"In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that > for religious rights." -- James Madison, Federalist #51 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ricardo Stella stella@gandalf.rutgers.edu RUCS-US Manager - IML-SERC stella@remus.rutgers.edu Hill 118 - (908)932-2491 ...suave...
