- You probably need to get the info zip archive from hobbes. It is found
- in the directory pub/os2/2.0/archivers. There is both the zip and the
- unzip programs. They are 32 bit and pretty good. I've found that a lot
- of hobbes zip files are done with this utility. It has better compression
- than pkzip (in the current release). Since the pkware products updates were
- delayed, I gather they went with info zip since it did a better job.
