About two weeks ago Phil Katz made a presentation to the Milwaukee IBM PC users group on file compression, which included a demo of his latest (PK361). After the meeting I asked him about new developments. He said that: a Vax version (in assembler?) will be released and a Un*x version with full source code. As well as a programmer's tool kit for file compression (and presumably PKWare file format reading and writing). the price would remain the same. source code for no other implementations besides Un*x would likely be released. No firm dates were given. This was all two weeks ago and I could have misheard anything he said. So I disclaim everything. I wish Phil Katz himself would post something. He DOES read this group and has an account at the same site I am at (loginid:katz).

The next data compression and archiving software from PKWare
can be pre-ordered. The order *MUST* state it is for the
*NEW* MS-DOS version.
Send $47 to PKWare - the address is available from
the current software and documents.
PKWare indicated the software will be available for more than
MS-DOS (UNIX, VAX, etc.), but I am not aware of a price for
versions other than the MS-DOS version, or a delivery date
for any of the software.
