Once a version of PKZIP is available with sources in C for 4.xbsd and
SYS V R2/R3 versions of Unix and proven reliable, I will undertake the
conversion to a TOPS20 version as I did with ARC.  Once that version
is proven reliable, we will see about undertaking the task of
converting our collections.

We will probably not convert the PC/BLUE collection but continue to
carry it as-is.  If ZIP files appear in new releases, they will be
carried as-is without conversion to ARC format.

We will not convert the CP/M collections until a CP/M version of at
least an UNZIP is available.

We will not convert the Macintosh collection.

We will not convert the Ada collection, which will be left in ASCII
format so that we can continue to make tape copies in ANSI standard
label format which does not support 8-bit data.

Finally, the mail archives will not be converted.  They are presently
stored in monthly TOPS20 mail files with the previous years' files
compressed.
