Since PKZIP1.lzh completely supercedes PKAZIP.lzh and ZIP.lzh in Lib 5, why not get rid of the old ones (free up the libarary space and don't fool new users into getting the old ZIP), and rename the new one to PkaZip.lzh or ZIP.lzh. – Emb

I'm one of those who just downloaded PKAZIP.LZH. What are the advantages of PKZIP1.lzh over the former? John

According to the "readme" there are a couple of bugs that might cause problems in certain situations. PKZIP1.lzh also has a program that "fixes" bad ZIP files so you can recover stuff from them. – Emb
