L.S., Rumors are going around here that versions of PKZ120.EXE (the self-extracting archive containing PKZIP & PKUNZIP version 1.20 with their accompanying other files) exist that contain a trojan or some virus. I have no more information. Can anybody give comments? Some time ago I downloaded a copy from TRICKLE (European shadow of SIMTEL20 more or less) and never observed any strange behavior, nor did virus-scanning reveal any problems. [Ed. As with the case of *all* unfounded rumors, I would like to urge everyone to NOT jump to any conclusions unless/until we have an accurate statement from someone of authority on this matter.] Sincerely, Pim Clotscher Erasmus University Rotterdam Computer Support Group
