As of about 5PM, this last Thursday Eve., March 22, 1990, Phil Katz has a new
version of PKZIP/PKUNZIP.  The new version is PKZ110.  His new implode has a
slight edge over the older one.  I had about 4M worth of ZIPped files, and this
came down to 3.3M, when rezipped!  I have seen compressions of 98%!  It is
available on the PKWare Support board @ 414-352-7176.  I am also sure it is
available via Compuserv and a few other places.  Since I am not at a place
where I can set it up for ftp, I can not have it available to you.  Also,
the speed of compression has again increased.  I don't know how he does it,
but he does!  The program is already available on most of Milwaukee's BBS's
(as Milwaukee is Phil Katz's home area.)  So, if you can't get on PKWare BBS,
most IBM Milwaukee ones will have it.
