- I may know a solution for this. I've tried to unzip several things with the
- unzipper on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, but they don't work with the stuff I've zipped.
- I use PK-UNZIP 1.93 beta. This works great and gives better compression on
- average than LZH. It may have some new fancy compression in it that the
- OS/2 unzipper doesn't recognize. (oh, I don't know the exact version on the
- PK-ZIP program) I have it, but I don't know how to u/l to ftp-os2. Are we
- allowed to just 'put pkunzip.exe' or what? Let me know if I helped, etc.
