- PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>CHANGES.DOC Last revised: March 29, 1993
-
- WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil switches to ZIP 2.0
-
- Effective April 2, 1993 many of the new ZIP files uploaded to SIMTEL20
- will be in the public domain ZIP version 2.0 format. After that date
- the index files SIMIBM.ZIP and SIMLIST.ZIP will be created in the new
- format.
-
- SIMTEL20 has standardized on the Info-ZIP group's ZIP and UNZIP because
- they are freely distributable and they have no restrictions on exporting.
- The latest version of Info-ZIP's ZIP and UNZIP can always be found in
- directory PD1:<MSDOS.ZIP> and will always have the name "Info-ZIP" in
- the description to make them easy to locate.
-
- PKWare's PKZIP 2.x will not be offered due to export restrictions.
- Older versions of PKZIP will be deleted to avoid confusion due to
- the fact that they cannot handle the ZIP version 2.0 format files.
