I stand corrected :( -- but only on part of my statement.

I consider that any product that is 'wholly reliant' on the PKWARE
compression algorithm is PKZIP with different clothes on and is thus part of
the family irrespective as to what name it has been called.

It's like vacuum cleaners here in the UK. They are generically known as
HOOVER's even though HOOVER is a registered trade mark. Sort of a de-facto
standard.

Slight correction... the freeware zip/unzip for MPE/iX are not PKZIP,
which is shareware as far as I recall (i.e. pay if you like and use it).

The zip/unzip download for MPE/iX can be found at several places, for
example ftp://ftp.nha.co.za and http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
(the latter according to a quick google search).
