   1999?  Yow.  Buy an update or two.  They're cheap.

   For example.  Actually, Zip 2.32 ("June 19th 2006") added
"-VV".  And when you get Zip 3.0 and UnZip 6.0 installed, take
a minute or two to read [.vms]NOTES.TXT, which explains how
these things are handled nowadays (that is, for the past few
years).

   If you have any complaints about non-obsolete versions of
these programs, please re-complain.
