Re: zip and unzip from Info-ZIP version update


Chuck:

My sincerest apologies.  Clearly I made a mistake.  Cygwin does have
the current version of zip.

Is there any timeframe for unzip 6.0?  I started down this path
because unzip does not currently have multi-part support.  I
downloaded WinRAR, but I would prefer an open source solution if you
know of any.

Kindest regards,


Paul Watson
