Please forgive me if this topic may have been discussed...


In using the new v. 1.01 of Phil Katz's ZIP archives, I have curiously noted
that the ZIP2EXE.EXE program, even though it shows a new release number and
date, does NOT handle the "imploding" method of compression introduced in 
v. 1.01.  I ZIPped a few files using the -ex command, and then used ZIP2EXE
to make them executable,
and the message I got from the program when I tried to run was:
"PKSFX: Warning!  I can't handle the archive *****.ZIP!"  Or something like
that....

Has anyone else had this problem, or did I just get a bad archive of 1.01?

Thanks,
