  FEATURES

  The PKZIP 2 software utilities include many features.  Here are just a few
  of them:

  Improved  Compression.  PKZIP  2 implements  a  new compression  algorithm
  called Deflating.  Deflating  has varying levels of  compression and speed
  available,  allowing  you to  specify  the  method  of compression  to  be
  employed.  Both  the speed  and amount  of compression  are improved  over
  previous versions of PKZIP.

  Multi-volume archive support.  PKZIP 2 can create .ZIP files larger than a
  single floppy disk.

  Subdirectory storage.  PKZIP 2 can find and store subdirectory pathnames
  within a .ZIP file.  Files can then be restored to their original
  subdirectories, or they may be re-created.  Storage includes empty
  subdirectories.

  Automatic detection and utilization of 80386 and 80486 CPU's, EMS and XMS
  memory, Novell Netware, and 32-bit DPMI.  PKZIP 2 gets the most out of
  your machine by using the power of modern CPU's.  EMS and XMS support
  offer the ability to process more files with less available conventional
  memory.  Novell Netware and 32-bit DPMI support offer speed improvements.

  The above features also allow you to get the best performance when in a
  DOS session under OS/2 or Windows.  OS/2 and Windows offer EMS, XMS and
  32-bit DPMI without your using extra drivers.

  Memory Requirements.  PKZIP requires a minimum of 183K of conventional
  memory.  If EMS is available, the conventional memory requirement is 85K.
  PKUNZIP requires 90K of conventional memory.  PKSFX requires a minumum of
  71K of memory.

  Easy to use configuration program.  PKZIP 2 can be configured to best suit
  your needs through the use of the PKCFG program.

  PKSFX Junior and PKUNZIP Junior.  These "Junior" programs use very little
  memory and are extremely small.  Although they are reduced in ability,
  their small size makes them very useful.

  Password Encryption.  Sensitive data files can be scrambled with password
  protection.  The security of this feature has been improved in PKZIP 2.

  Authenticity Verification.  Users requiring authentication of archive
  files may request an Authenticity Verification code.  This allows users to
  create .ZIP files which reveal tampering.
