   About two weeks ago Phil Katz made a presentation to the Milwaukee IBM
PC users group on file compression, which included a demo of his latest
(PK361). After the meeting I asked him about new developments.

He said that:
	a Vax version (in assembler?) will be released and
	a Un*x version with full source code. As well as
	a programmer's tool kit for file compression
	         (and presumably PKWare file format reading and writing).
	the price would remain the same. 
	source code for no other implementations besides Un*x would likely
  	  be released.

No firm dates were given. This was all two weeks ago and I could have
misheard anything he said. So I disclaim everything.

I wish Phil Katz himself would post something. He DOES read this group and
has an account at the same site I am at (loginid:katz). Use the below addresses.
