I use a 2 drive, no HD Toshiba, with 640 kb RAM, and am using pkzip and
pkunzip v. 2.03g with no problem at all. The program fits easily on a 720
kb diskette, and on a HD diskette I even have space for a uuencoder and
uudecoder program, plus a "front-end" menu program for pkware. It can be
downloaded from the Simtel20 database via anonymous ftp in subdirectory
pd1:[msdos.zip]. The Simtel address is:

wsmr-simtel20.army.mil

The program comes in a self-extracting format. It is of course the
shareware version. For $45.00 you can register the program and get a
complete manual as well as upgrades when they become available.

Re: PKUnzip:
 
I've never tried unzipping to a floppy, but the *documentation* on
my current copy of PKUnzip says it's perfectly possible: just specify
a path to unzip to.  You have 2 options:
 
a) Assuming the zipped file is in A:, from the B> prompt write
   unzip a:filename -- the files will go onto B:
 
   This is the way I do it, only from the C> prompt, so the files
   go into the current directory on C:
 
b) From the A> prompt, write: unzip filename b:
   The documentation says this should work, if I remember correctly;
   but I've never done it this way and would recommend the first method.
 
To unzip subdirectories you have to add the -d flag (unzip -d a:filename).
 
Ask Archie where PKUnzip is, if your site only has a version that
requires a hard disk; you'll probably dig up a couple of versions back
from the newest one. My own version is perhaps a year old, and as
said it specifically documents using it on a 2-floppy system as well
as a hard disk. Only problem is that a lot of packages contain more
stuff than will fit on one floppy, and PKUnzip has no provision for
changing disks in the middle.

Surely Newman's line is a version of what I thought was a fairly standard
expression, "sin against the light"; I immediately thought of its use by
Mr. Deasy, referring to the Jews, in chapter 2 of Joyce's *Ulysses*:
     --They sinned against the light, Mr. Deasy said gravely.  And you
     can see the darkness in their eyes.  And that is why they are
     wanderers on the earth to this day {lines 361-63 in the Corrected
     Text}.
But having spent a few minutes looking for a common source (admittedly a
desultory look at 11:30PM Sunday night), I'm not sure how standard it is.
Gifford's note (in *Ulysses Annotated*) isn't very helpful:
     In the first chapter of the Gospel of John, John the Baptist
     is "sent to bear witness of that Light {Jesus}.  That was the
     true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world"
     (1:8-9).  Mr. Deasy's phrase rests on the assumption that the
     Jews not only refused that Light (Jesus' presence and message)
     also demanded that it be extinguished by crucifixion {p. 38}.
I'd be interested in hearing any other responses, publically or privately,
to this query.
 
By the bye, I'm working on Arthur Henry Hallam, Tennyson, Browning and
Joyce.

I encourage you to write to Dr. Sheridan Gilley, Department of
Theology, University of Durham, U.K., who I am sure can
'enlighten' you.

For those of you trying to contact HiDES, I believe that the
correct email address is HII005@IBM.SOUTHAMPTON.AC.UK.
This is the address of the director, Dr Frank Colson.
