  Could you explain this please?  I use pkzip25 in a DOS window on
w2k and XP.  It announces itself
PKZIP(R)  Version 2.50  FAST!  Compression Utility for Windows 95/NT  4-15-1998
Copyright 1989-1998 PKWARE Inc.  All Rights Reserved. Shareware Version
and has no problems with long file names.  It is a single program with
-add and -extract parameters, rather than a pkzip and separate pkunzip.
(Except for long file names, it's a step down from their capabilities.)
Is there a different program pair also with version number 2.50?
