:: Well;  I've been poking around some bbs's that contain alot of IBM
:: files (Yuck, I cleaned by keys when I was done) and most of them seem
:: to use a ZIP format.  Now, is there a utility that unZIP's these files
:: on the amiga?  While I'm at it are there any that will undo SIT and
:: PIT files?
:   
: I haven't seen one yet, but the author of ZIP made provision for it.
: It looks like the archive file that ZIP creates contains information about
: which machine it was created on.  One of the valid values is for Amiga.
: 
: I think PKWARE is the creator of ZIP.  You may wish to contact them.
 
	I downloaded the Amiga version of UnZIP from Plink just this
weekend... Do it should be showing up on a board near you RSN...
