===================
Purpose:
--------
This patch provides Zip 2.0 file extraction capabilities to users
of XTree for Windows version 1.5. It will not operate on earlier
versions of XTree for Windows.
Once this patch is successfully applied, you will be able to
extract and view files in Zip 2.0 archive files (in addition
to Zip 1.1 archive files). "Multi-floppy" Zip 2.0 files are not
yet supported.

program directory (usually C:\XTREEWIN).

This patch is an Alpha-level update. It has not undergone XTree's normal
reliability testing and is not feature-complete. This release is made
available to XTree users in order to access Zip 2.0 files outside of our
upgrade cycle. XTree assumes no liability for problems caused by this
update and cannot provide technical support for Zip-related problems once
the patch has been applied.
YOU APPLY AND USE THIS PATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
