...Phil Katz and PKZip...
I still have my original copy of PKZip with manual. Here is an example of a
"post-vintage" yet historic software killer ap whatever you want to call it.
I agree that this is/was a very important piece of software and should be
recognized. Here's to Phil!
Even though they're off-topic here, I still make a point to archive the
1990-1996 software that I found useful. Many of us back then used to carry
around our super support disk that almost always included pzkip, pkunzip and
pkfix, laplink (ll.exe), and many others. From a preservation standpoint, I
have saved these disks "as they were" because they help put things in
perspective. I also had early Win 3.1 TCPIP windsock, BTRIEVE, editors,
etc. PCTools disks, etc.
