Thanks! I have an older version:

[G:\]unzip
UnZip 5.42 of 14 January 2001, by Info-ZIP.
Maintained by C. Spieler.

I'll update right now. There are three unz550* files at
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/OS2, guess I'll grab all three and
see what the differences are.

Okay. I think DOS DIR suppressed the fields when they were 00h or
something. I seem to remember it was Borland's products that sometimes
had a few files with this and I was able to recreate it by jamming some
weird value into the date-time field.

Why, exactly what's on my mind, that's what! :)))

I thought you were parsing the string. If a field is missing then the
parse gets "out of sync".

I don't know how compatible Classic Rexx is with the Object Rexx
interpreter, so naturally I'm a bit paranoid with this. Rexx Tips &
Tricks has an example of how to write a Rexx program which can run under
either, but iirc you have to code two different code sections into the
program and then determine which version you are running on at the very
beginning, then call that code section.
