- I have been following (at arm's length) the discussion on the new
- PKZIP (pkz204c.exe in the /msdos/zip directories at SIMTEL and
- mirrors) on the usenet group comp.compression. There has been a sort
- of bug-finding bonanza, and LOTS of comments like: (Q) Hasn't PKWare
- heard of beta testing? (A) Yes: we're the beta testers! I have tried
- it too, and it is fast. Some might want to be aware that there are
- still problems in the public release.
