  18. Well there are 2 things that you could do. The first is what Timo will
  19. probably say. Read the FAQ posted on Saturdays. Or you can archie a file
  20. called pkz110.exe or one called pkunzip.exe.  Pkunzip is one file contained in
  21. the self extracting file pkz110.exe which also contains pkzip and some other 
  22. text files. (Timo: have 1.93 or 2.?? been accepted as a new standard yet?)
