I've recently become aware of some incompatibility between our FreeDOS unzip, Linux unzip and the legacy Pkunzip versions 2.04 and 2.50. I download hundreds of SIMTEL/BBS and other vintage files a month and I know that statistically a percentage of those will be incomplete or have CRC errors. But files that I know are complete are not being uncompressed properly. This almost always shows up in a blank README file. I typically download and unzip with linux but when I noticed this anomaly I switched to FreeDOS unzip and noticed some improvement, but when I switched to pkunzip the number of blank files has dropped dramatically. Has anyone else noticed this?
