Note that COMPRESS-88 is extremely unlikely to end up in an official ASF
distribution anyway - the real problem is PKWARE's licensing of the
encryption parts of the spec.  This is unless you mean the WinZIP AES
implementation or the "old encryption" rather than the strong crypto
protocol described by PKWARE.

What Compress can do is provide hooks that an implementation of
COMPRESS-88 can be maintained outside of Compress.  I plan to seriously
get the ball rolling for Compress 2.x (which should provide said hooks
in the ZIP package) after christmas but have too much on my plate to
drive this right now.
