*g* I remember being about ...twelve?... thirteen?... years old when first encountering PKZip at my dad's office, someone was doing a lot of whoohoo about unpacking an archive that was spread over *four* (_whow_) 1,44 Diskettes. I was most impressed about the possibilities, but in the back of my head there was a nagging little voice screaming "the interface truely sucks!". IIRC I had an AMIGA at that time but was about to be converted to 486 under pressure of Wolfenstein 3D. Oh had I we just listened to our families friend the broker in '89 to get me a Mac firsthand...
