 === Registered versions ===
-Registered users of v1.10 could request a code to use with the PUTAV utility. PUTAV could then be used to modify PKZIP.EXE file from the shareware version, to turn it into a kind of registered version, with "AV" feature enabled (<code>-!</code> option). Specifically, it modifies the 58 bytes starting at offset 33874, which are all 0 in the shareware version.

 v2.x is similar, but there is now a special registered PKZIP.EXE, and only it can be modified in this way.

 For some context regarding international versions ("Shareware Marketing", "AB Soft", etc.), see the ORDER.DOC file from, say, v2.04g.
