Zip v2.2 .ZIP archive creator.  Creates .ZIP archives compatible with PKZip
v2.04g.

Note that if you use Zip with QWK or other offline mail readers, you probably
want to use Zip v1.0 or lower, since most BBSs seem to only use PKZip v1.10 or
lower to extract reply packets uploaded, and v1.10 can't unarchive files
archived by Zip v2.1 unless you use the zero compression option.

If anyone requires an earlier version of Zip (the latest one I could still find
is version 0.93), I can upload it.  Just write me and ask.  If anyone has a
version closer or equal to 1.0, please let *me* know!  :)

In addition to the following from the WHATSNEWS text file included in the
archive, it appears that there is no longer a seperate encrypting and
non-encrypting version, and there is no ZipCloak command in the case of the
encrypting version.
