Ah. Well, given that I don't have access to NT here, I'd
just as soon the behavior you describe the patch as providing
be the behavior, but that's me (and anyway, it's probably
moot for me since I use pkzip 2.50 for DOS anyway); I guess
I was figuring someone else might object, and that making it
optional might quiet them.
