        PKZIP 2.04c is now released and on the PKWARE BBS (414-354-8670)

        Some reports have come in the certain version of Norton Anti-Virus
        are reporting PKZIP 2.04 to have the Maltese Amoeba virus.

        THESE REPORTS ARE FALSE! If the version of Norton is upgraded to
        a newer version the false reports cease.

        The correct files size,date and time should be:

        PKZ204C.EXE     188818  12-28-92        2:04
                        SIZE    DATE            TIME

        If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact
        me here at pkware.inc@mixcom.com
