PKZip Creator Dies -- "Phillip W. Katz died of complications from chronic
alcoholism, according to the Milwaukee medical examiner's records. Katz's
file-compression software is used around the world. 'In early days,
compression was all done with software because there was no hardware to do
this stuff,' said computer science professor Leonard Levine at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. 'So Katz put together a program called
PKZip, the Phil Katz zip program.' The compression software made
communication between computers faster and less expensive." Of all the
'programs' on the planet, PKUnZip has to be one of the more well-known
binaries.
Rest in Peace, Phil, many thanks to you.

Inertia. It's not just an object at rest tends to stay at rest; it's
also an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
