Just in case you were wondering about this, the latest version
of Phil Katz's file compression utilities (PKZIP and PKUNZIP v1.10)
should run fine on DEC Rainbows. This comes straight from Phil
himself:
----- snip, snip, snip -----
PKZIP, PKUNZIP, PKSFX, PKSFXjr, ZIP2EXE, PKZIPFIX, etc. should
all be 100% MS-DOS generic. None of the software makes any
BIOS calls or directly manipulates any hardware or I/O devices.
As far as I know, the software should work just fine on
DEC-Rainbows, Sanyo's, Epson's, and other non IBM compatible
MS-DOS computers.

I've used PKZIP and PKUNZIP on the Rainbow under DOS 2.11 and 3.10b. It seems to work just fine, apart from being slower than when I run it on that 25 MHz 386 that used to be in my office :-) Phil>As far as I know, the software should work just fine on Phil>DEC-Rainbows, Sanyo's, Epson's, and other non IBM compatible Phil>MS-DOS computers. Can't speak for the other PCs listed, but I haven't had any problems with it on the Rainbow. That usually is a good indication that it will work anywhere. Keep up the good work Phil.
