   I'm rather curious about it as well;  as I was not aware of any version of
PKZIP being available for linux, much less with a version number that high...

   Did have a chance to do a quick google search on it;  only came up with a
few hits, some of which actually had an sfx extension...  Isn't that
something for the Mac?

   I'm used to the info-zip versions of zip & unzip;  I think I still have
copies of the dos versions (&, possibly, OS/2) of pkzip around, but
don't really use 'em.  I use the info-zip versions for all OS's (linux,
dos, win32, os/2, etc) I use or have used...
