That means he'll have to write the pure windows version or license to code to have somebody do it.

Phil are you listening?!! There is a beta version of zip for unix at simtel. It is completely in C and requires no special agreements with Phil Katz. If anyone is interested in playing with the source (which works fine and dandy, just a bit slow right now), it is in: wsmr-simtel20.army.mil PS:[W8SDZ.ZIP]zip05.zip there is also a release version of unzip for unix, probably called unzip401.tar.Z or unzip401.arc (Don't forget to use tenex rather than binary mode when talking to simtel). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm not sure what I mean, so I'm going to listen to what I say." whelan@ (uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu || uhunix.BITNET || nextsrv.wslab.hawaii.edu)
