But if you have a program that automatically detects DPMI, and uses it if it
finds it, but causes memory problems when it does, you have a bug. It
doesn't cause problems outside of windows because nothing is emulating DPMI.
It seems to me that the way pkzip2.04 uses DPMI is buggy, I should not have
to tell it not to work with DPMI, it should be able to handle it, but it
can't.

Other then that though, I really like the new version, especially the
multiple disk thing. Makes it really easy to store big zip files!
