We should be OK with the current demo distribution as long as everyone uses the included files as they are supposed to. The full release build will probably be with the newer unzip since it is just a minor warning message and doesn't break stuff. But it will help with those who manually try to do things (only up to a point though :) ).
Cheers, jim

Actually yes AND no... Infounzip needs the signal extensions but will function properly (well sort of) without them :-)

Phoebus,
Just what is this "(well sort of)" behavior you are describing?
Your installer is C based right? Well with the signal extensions you can verify that the commands that you fed unzip were executed properly and that the return code was 0. Otherwise you have no means to know (other than visually confirming it) that the installation/unzipping process was completed the way it was supposed to
the copy of unzip that I included with the demo, I get some warning about non-qdos extensions or something but that is just a warning and hopefully will be ignored by everyone.
