Many of the files posted to c.b.i.p are in ZIP format. I understand that this can be converted with PKUNZIP. Sigh, annoying I know, but would some kind soul please e-mail me a copy of this. If possible, a copy of PKZIP would also be appreciated. Thank-you. Richard B. Mosher mdivax1!rmosher@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca

First please consider this: 7. ***** Q: Someone email me a .zip extractor (or something equally common) A: This is not a flame but a friendly piece of advice for you, and others occasionally posting similar wishes concerning easily available shareware and PD programs. Better still than making an offhand request that may end up with several kind netters duplicating each others' efforts for your benefit by rushing to email your request to you, how about doing the work yourself and getting it from an ftp site, or a BBS near you. At our site the extractors can be found in the /pc/pd2 directory. For .zip files use pkz110eu.exe. The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email address cannot be reached by a simple email reply, and you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server anyway.) If you are in North America, first try a North American mail server to cut down the overseas traffic. If you don't know what directory to look at for the program you would like to have, first get the file lists: /pc/INDEX /pc/ts/0dir-ts /pc/ts/tsarc113.txt ...................................................................

I have asked the same question of the net a couple of times and *never* got a response from anyone on the subject of PKUNZIP. I still don't have it. I don't have ftp capability and many others that make these requests don't have it either. I have tried many times to access this file via email according to instructions on the net and *never* got a response back from the so-called server. Worse, I never even get it bounced back. It just goes into the proverbial bit bucket. As far as BBS's go,.... I don't know any local BBS's, I don't run DOS, and I haven't had the time to try to fix ecu3 to run on my SCO XENIX 2.3GT OS. I think the poster was quite correct in asking, as he probably won't get a reply anyway. If he does, I would appreciate it if he would send it to me as well. NOTE: If I hadn't tried at least a dozen time to get it for myself and made requests to the net for it as well, I wouldn't be so upset.

It just goes into the proverbial bit bucket. Funny, the server works fine for me and thousands of others. Too bad. >As far as BBS's go,....

If he does, I would appreciate it if he would send it to >me as well. I suggest you read the netiquette postings in news.announce.newusers and then consider revising your personal opinion. Not only does it request that you NOT issue general "send-me" requests, it also advises others to ignore such requests. This may be why you have yet to be successful. Alternatively, rather than ask for copies of the program, ask for people to volunteer to send it to you, pending acknowledgement. Ie. they simply mail to you saying that they have it, and you pick one whom you would like to have send it to you, based on network proximity. For example, email a request to me, and I'll be happy to send it to you. -- ___Mark S.

Worse, I never even get it bounced back. I repeat my offer, frequently posted in this forum: Send e-mail to my SIMTEL20 address below and I will tell you the proper path to use to access the mail servers. I need to receive a message from you in order to see what path it took to get to me, and to see if your mailer might be munging the headers.
