The default program used to unzip packages is 'pkunzip'. By default I mean that if you do not have this program then emacs will complain about not being able to find 'pkunzip' when you try to unzip a file. Please consider using InfoZip's 'unzip' instead of PKWARE's 'pkunzip'. The program 'unzip' is 'free' while 'pkunzip' is 'non-free'. I had 'unzip' on my system but emacs do not notice until I changed the variable archive-zip-use-pkzip to nil. Now that there is a 'free' easy to download version of 'unzip' there is no more reason to have any reference to 'pkunzip' a 'non-free' program. -- Shayne Steele Graduate Student in Computer Science at FSU steele@cs.fsu.edu http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~steele/ With great abilities come great responsibilities. -- Stan Lee
