I had one too, and I held onto the floppy and the plastic folder it came in for years, until I finally trashed it in a decluttering frenzy. I think the version I registered was 1.10.
- analog31 6y agoIn the late 80s, I bought a perpetual license for PKZip, which I still have in a notebook somewhere. I used it to bundle my own shareware program. Of all the programs, theirs seemed like the one with the most shareware-friendly licensing scheme and user friendly unpacking process. Stupidly, I sent my brother an encrypted ZIP file with my source code, and of course it's the only copy remaining, and of course I can't crack the password. I've tried some cracking programs.
