Does anyone know where I can FTP a copy of PKZIP v1.1 with the virus protection
thing built in? The copy I got off SIMTEL-20 doesn't have this feature.
Or am I doing something wrong?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For that reason Keith at simtel and I, here, have decided to offer only the sanitized version without encryption. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

This was discussed at length when 1.10 came out, but the summary is that some silly US law forbids exporting the version with encryption to Europe. That's why sites like Simtel20 and garbo.uwasa.fi have only the European version. But look around in local BBSes, whether in US or in Europe. You are bound to find the proper version. To make matters worse, PKWare sends out both versions under the same name pkz110.exe. The renaming to pkz110eu.exe is entirely my (un:-)doing in collaboration with Keith Petersen. Incidentally, this also leads to the annoying situation that PKWare won't sell its security envelope to European program developer's. The legislator, and the international computer community clearly live on different planets. ...................................................................
