Because binutils is an essential package and you have reported GPFs I have decide to replace inmediatly.

At least as DJ does not decide something different. If both are able to unzip archives produced by ADVZIP, I will give it a try. Can you point me to the home page. Is it open source/free? Are there copyright issues? Regards, Juan M. Guerrero
