CHANGES AND NEW FEATURES
------------------------
The main addition in the 5.5 release is support for PKWARE's new Deflate64(tm) algorithm, which appeared first in PKZIP 4.0 (published November 2000). As usual, some other bugfixes and clean-ups have been integrated:

- support for Deflate64 (Zip compression method #9)
- support for extracting VMS variable length record text files on any system
- optional "cheap autorun" feature for the SFX stub
- security fixes:
* strip leading slash from stored pathspecs,
* remove "../" parent dir path components from extracted file names
- new option "-:" to allow verbatim extraction of file names containing
"../" parent dir path specs
- fixed file handle leak for the DLL code
- repaired OS2 & WinNT ACL extraction which was broken in 5.42
