Does anyone know how / which version of (PK)zip / (PK)unzip for OS/2 kan be used for (de-)compressing my mail pakkets in Fmail/2?? I'm still using the MSDOS (pk-)(un-)zip for this job. I'd like to get the OS/2 version running. The OS/2 unzippers just don't "see" the zipfiles for some reason. Any clues why this happens??? Thanks in advance.

Here are the names, sizes and dates on mine. ZIP.EXE 96304 09-19-93 UNZIP.EXE 95797 08-29-94 And the COMPRESS.CFG snippet: Archiver ZIP Extension ZIP Ident 0,504b0304 ; "PK^c^d" DOS Add cmd /c pkzip -a -es %a %f OS2 Add zip -k -9 -j %a %f DOS Extract cmd /c pkunzip -n %a %f OS2 Extract unzip -o -j -C -qq %a %f DOS View cmd /c pkzip -vbe %a OS2 View unzip -v %a End Archiver Works great here, and of course, I don't need to use the DOS versions from PKWARE.

My ports are 16550a, go figure why doom said 8250... vx00.sys is loading, no problems except installing OS/2 Warp 3. Previously, when I switched, I went to an evaluation of server 3 and now, I can't get warp 3 to install. It installed on my old machine fine... It reboots after the first part and crashes. I've been waiting since Monday for them to call and have been calling every day, but nothing. Forced me to dig up winzip and run nder 95 until I get it working.

Any clues SV> this happens??? The current public version of pkunzip for OS/2 does not support the 2.04x compression format. I recommend using Info-ZIP's UNZIP.EXE. It works marginally well. PkWare is working on a PKZIP/2. Speaking as a beta tester, it works very well. It is 32-bit, supports long filenames, and EAs. The parameters are very nice as well. C.
