As a matter of fact there are two version past the one you have.  There is 
PKZIP101 and PKZIP102.  The author has choosen to change the method of
compression making the version incompatible.  But the good news is 
PKUNZIP101 and 102 will unzip the earlier versions.  Sorry but I can't send
it but try and check SIMTEL20 they should have it.  If it becomes a problem
then send me mail (without FTP I don't know what I can do)
