Subj: New PKZip Finally! :-(

As usual, PKWARE is right on-time with their "new" versions of software
designed to run under an OS that will be obsolete in a month.  Last time
they released PKZIP for Windows 3.1 (their -first- Windows-based app)
just before Windows 95 was released.
NicoMak's Winzip has it all over them.  PKWARE is all washed up. This
latest release is proof of it.

I'm glad you addressed this also to ALL.  I personally have no idea what 
exists or not for 98.  I'm not likely to ever find out for myself. I do know 
that much of what we have used in the way of utilities over time in the 
various 95 environments won't work in 98.  Not even the newest iteration of 
CleanSweep, which I bought just recently.  Good luck in your search.

Give Nuts & Bolts a look-see. Much better program IMO. And it doesn't seem to 
have all the bugs that Symantec has.
