   Thanks for the link. I've downloaded a few of the files there and will be   
   adding them to the filebase here.

   I notice there is no exe replacement in the first fix for OS2. Is the OS2   
   version also affected by this problem with rep packets? Maybe the other fix   
   there is used for OS2?

   It does run under linux. On my 64 bit linux I have problems with pkunzip.   
   DPMI is no longer supported (in a 64 bit OS, I think) so I have to remember   
   how to disable DPMI with pkunzip or maybe switch to unzip.

   It works well and has been maintained and supported for a long time now.   
   It's handy for me on linux.. no unzip or pkunzip issues.. :)
