I think Mike has a good idea. I sent a couple of unz551c patches to
Christian some time ago, and I can send to Mike those ones to which
Christian replied with "accepted".

Or better yet, I could prepare an unz551d archive myself, because
making a selection of the accepted patches and sending them to Mike,
or integrating them myself, should take just as much effort.

Christian, did anyone else submit patches to unz551c? If yes, could
you please send them to me, or to Mike? I think I can make an unz551d
bundle this weekend. And, given that I am using unz551c on a regular
basis, without encountering problems so far, maybe we could consider
unz551d a release candidate.

I wonder if you plan to delay the release of unzip 5.51 until this
summer, when the LZW patent expires worldwide and USE_UNSHRINK can
be enabled by default.

Best regards,
Cosmin
