Subject: Info-ZIP's free UNZIP v4.1 now available from SIMTEL20 (repost)
Keywords: zip, unzip, compression
 
Of most interest to y'all will be the unzip sources (unzip41.arc)
and unzip ready-to-run executable (unzip41.exe, incredibly enough).
If you just snarf the latter, please also grab the two text files
unzip41.doc (a Unix-style [boo hiss] man page) and unzip41.notes
(VMS-specific notes written by yours truly; much useless informa-
tion therein, plus some very important stuff thrown in for bonus
irritation value).
 
The current version is much more compatible with various VMS file
types, but it still can't do variable-length records without help
(that's one of the important parts in unzip41.notes).  Fixed-length
512 (ftp, Kermit "set file type fixed") and stream-LF (Zmodem, BSD
uudecode) are fine, however.  If there are some Real (tm) VMS C pro-
grammers out there who'd like to work on this, feel free to join the
Info-ZIP project (e-mail to info-zip-request@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil)
--to the best of my knowledge, there's only one other VMSer involved,
and he's swamped.  I surpassed "swamped" a long time ago.
