I ran mpxplay -sct and it identified a SBP card (Soundblaster Pro). I

Also, Info-Zip has a zipinfo binary. The verbose output (-v) might
tell you something.

This quick message to announce a new release of uHex, my hex editor
targeted to DOS and x86 (which also happen to work on other systems, but
who cares about non-DOS systems anyway).
Big credits go to Alexey Voskov, who contributed some very nice patches
to this release of uHex.
