I was just reading another list and on it was a mention of unzip 3.0. Was this ever posted to the net? The newst version I have is 2.1 and I havent seen any newer versions (2.1 is dated Sept. 89). Can someone tell me where I may find 3.0? Thanks. Bruce (bkahn@archive.rtp.dg.com)

I don't recall if 3.0 was posted or not, but it is available on Simtel, at least (the nominal clearinghouse for the unzip project). I can't find any record of where I picked it up, but I believe it was directory pd2:[unix-c.arc-progs], in one of several formats (ZIP, ARC, tar.Z). The disk may have changed to pd3 some while back; my source for this is a bit old. Simtel, btw, is 26.2.0.74. The nominal coordinator for unzip releases is David Kirschbaum, also known as kirsch@usasoc.soc.mil; you might inquire with him as to the plans for posting the next update. To get on the unzip mailing list, send a message to Info-ZIP-Request@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil. It's been rather quiet recently, but a number of the contributors may have been students who have no net access during the summer. Or maybe the program is just perfect in its most recent incarnation. :) Greg

About a 1/3 of the time, if the embedded files are in a dir tree, I get some corrupted files. Haven't seen any obvious relationship, but it seems to be data dependent, and seems to occur most frequently in textual areas where there are lots of whitespace. This be on our UTS 2.0.1 systems (basically SVR3), running on our Amdahl mainframes. BTW ... seems to me I saw in an article somewhere that v3.1 was available now (or maybe RSN), but I haven't tried to locate it. Or maybe I was daydreaming this ... :-) /kim -- UUCP: kim@uts.amdahl.com -OR- ked01@juts.ccc.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,uunet,oliveb,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
