A couple of days ago I copied v2.50 to my root directory and started
using it instead of v2.04g
I have just found that Pkunzip v2.50 will not properly reconstruct the
stored directory structure from ZIP files created using v2.04g
e:\arachne\mail\!ar!mdir.zip was created with pkzip v2.04g

None on my mail subdirectories are accessible.
