Hi Patrick,
I was interested to see your e-mail that talked about the port of
InfoZip to the 400. Up until recently we've had a distributor
arrangement with ASI to sell PKZIP but it's not been worth the hassle so
we've been pushing people towards gzip (even though it's IFS only and
doesn't unzip .zip archives). I'd looked around at porting something ZIP
compatible myself but it never made it to priority status. So what's the
status of this? I'd be happy to give it a test run if needed.
