I did go there and got both the bin and src. Then found out that the package is 1.93a compatible. But with the pointer to info-zip, I went to ftp.3com.com and got the sources for zip11 and unzip50. zip11 works great, but I have problem with the unzip. Both the unzip in the FreeBSD package and the unzip50 from info-zip strips 12 hours off the date-time stamp of the files being unzipped. Can anyone give me a pointer as to why this is happening? I am running NetBSD 0.9 and compiled the unzip50 with 'make bsd'. Thanks in advance. -- TSgt Jim Cooper Armstrong Laboratory/MIS Brooks AFB, TX
