I was afraid to admit that I used PKZip in Dos, or that I lost my
virginity with a Tandy TRS-80 with 4 floppy drives chained together!
Well, it's out now. Considering the entire computer timeline, I'm still
pretty youthful - no Cobol or Pascal experience other than school!

WoW!!! Does _that_ sentence make me feel old! I never thought of PKZip
as being a _Windows_ app! I thought it was a DOS app! Did it actually
migrate to Windows? What about WinZip? I don't really know... I moved to
Mac back when Windows 3.0 came out... I figured that if I was going to
pay money to play with the imposter, I would rather spend my money and
get the real thing, so I migrated to Mac... But in any case, PKZip
brings back memories of DOS 5, local bulletin board services, and....
:-)

LOL! Yes true it was orginally a DOS app. Then came WinZip. I also
have such memories, although I rember quite a bit further back than DOS
5 lol.
And yes there is something "funny" about unstuffing on windows. You
need to set the options to all "never" under cross platform tab. You
may have to click the "more" buttion at the bottom to see the tab.
Sometimes the default settings work fine, other times not, I guess it
has to do with the version of Stuffit that was used to create the
archive in the first place. But if you set everything to "never" you
shouldn't have a problem (unless the archive is corrupted in the first
place).
