	There is a beta version of zip for unix at simtel.  It is
completely in C and requires no special agreements with Phil Katz.
If anyone is interested in playing with the source (which works
fine and dandy, just a bit slow right now), it is in:

wsmr-simtel20.army.mil

PS:[W8SDZ.ZIP]zip05.zip

there is also a release version of unzip for unix, probably called
unzip401.tar.Z or unzip401.arc

(Don't forget to use tenex rather than binary mode when talking to
simtel).
