- I think that *no* OS/2 reader will work with PKZip 2.04, period, because
- 2.04C is a *DOS* zipper. OS/2 readers will only work with OS/2 zippers.
- An OS/2 version of PKZip 2.04 is said to be in the works.
-
- In an earlier version of MR/2 (don't remember which one, but it was around
- 1.1), I was using the DOS PKUNZIP to unpack messages. All I had to do was
- call that particular program (I use pkunzip2 to refer to the OS/2 version,
- and pkunzip to refer to the DOS version). As far as I can tell, all MR/2
- does is call the program, so it opens up a DOS window and chugs along.
-
- But, like I said, this was an older version.
