As of about 5PM, this last Thursday Eve., March 22, 1990, Phil Katz has a new version of PKZIP/PKUNZIP. The new version is PKZ110. His new implode has a slight edge over the older one. I had about 4M worth of ZIPped files, and this came down to 3.3M, when rezipped! I have seen compressions of 98%! It is available on the PKWare Support board @ 414-352-7176. I am also sure it is available via Compuserv and a few other places. Since I am not at a place where I can set it up for ftp, I can not have it available to you. Also, the speed of compression has again increased. I don't know how he does it, but he does! The program is already available on most of Milwaukee's BBS's (as Milwaukee is Phil Katz's home area.) So, if you can't get on PKWare BBS, most IBM Milwaukee ones will have it. -- Timothy Winslow/N9ICD To tim@lakesys.lakesys.com Each or: uunet!marque!lakesys!tim His or: csd4.csd.uwm.edu!lakesys.lakesys.com!tim Own

Please do *not* post it "here" (in comp.sys.ibm.pc) - comp.binaries.ibm.pc is the appropriate place for such postings.

The new version is PKZ110. His new implode has a I just wanted to inform everyone that although the new version is a little bit to a lotta bit faster, his revamped implode method seems to be 100% compatible with ver 1.02. 1.02 will unzip a file that was zipped by 1.10! The documentation doesn't mention this (as far as could could tell) so I thot I'd let y'all know. Brentley Smith bsmith@cis.ohio-state.edu
