		When Phil Katz headed the company, he and his programmers would often work on things they personally found interesting versus targeting specific needs of potential customers.
		Katz would doubtless be proud of its continued success, but one can’t help but wonder if the spark that made PKWare unique died with its creator.
		Phil Katz knew he had a winner when he wrote it, and it’s a shame that his success and good fortune couldn’t provide him with true happiness or peace of mind.

		Phil refused and then SEA took Phil to court in 1988 claiming that he copied some of their source code in the creation of PKArc.

		Even though Phil doesn't corral all his different selves into a satisfying conclusion, CACTUS is the sort of play you want to talk - and laugh - about in the beer tent.
		I'm sure the couple in front of me who were practicing the same sloppy kissing motions on each other that Katz's narrator Phil was mimicking weren't part of the play, but perhaps their acting on their drive-in theatre impulses shows just how Katz's manic, psychotic presence flips the traditional theatre atmosphere on its ear.
		Phil snaps out of it, and finds himself in the company of Urie, the Russian compulsive liar, and Eric, who has developed a secret crush on him and plots to confess his love in flaky tormented poetry.

		Phil made the marketing move of advertising his PKArc product on the same page of a computer magazine that also contained an ad for SEA’s program.
		Phil dropped PKArc and developed PKZip, and no one has even attempted to dispute the fact that PKZip was Phil’s creation exclusively.

		When one of us, Phil Katz, walked to the tele- phone booth on the side of the lobby away from the Club en- trance,a burly man wearing a tan suit jacket sprinted from the oth- er side and attacked Phil from behind.
		The lieutenant twisted Phil's arm behind his back and leaned heavily on him against the radia- tor and window while his uni- formed colleagues stood by for at least a full minute, watching and telling us that they could not see what was going on.
		MIT's hypocrisy deepens: it claims to be a progressive insti- tution, yet it supports the South African regime; it claims to be an educational institution, yet it does not like to hear its students; and it sees itself as a rational decision-making body, yet it is comfortable hiding behind the threatening barriers of the police.

		ZIP is a format proprietary to one Phil Katz who once ripped off another format called ARC.
		Phil Katz' products are no longer market leaders, however.
		In fact, because the Katz products are using built-in advertising, it's not advisable to use even the free or trial versions.

		Defendant Phillip W. Katz ("Katz"), AKA Phil Katz, is an officer and a director of Defendant PKWARE.
		The grapevine word for years was that Katz asked to see some ASM source in a "friendly" way, then dropped out of sight and emerged in a couple of months with a beg-ware lookalike.
		When Phil Katz improved upon ARC by adopting his own SQUASH method, it would have been far preferable if he had adopted his own PKA or PKX format instead of riding on the coattails of SEA ARC, and appropriating their market and format.

		In the legal battle that ensured, Katz was blocked from using the arc format, a major blow to computer industry as a whole because the ruling broadly interpreted copyright to effectively include algorithms and file formats.
		Katz's code was in assembler and was much faster than the high level SEA code.
		Katz then created the Zip file format and made it public domain so competitors could use it to.

		No attorneys for either SEA or Katz had ever met with the judge prior to the settlement, and at no time did the judge ever retain an expert or himself see the source code.
		The real issues in the case were SEA's charges that Katz had copied ARC's program code and that he had violated the company's trademark on the word "arc." In regard to the first complaint, there are only two pieces of code in ARC with non-trivial algorithm: the squeeze code and the crunch code.
		Katz's use of the same public domain sources resulted in a program that ran four times faster than the then current version of SEA's ARC.

		Katz agreed to a settlement relinquishing the right to market his software after January 1989, to cease using the term ARC and to a press release stating that SEA and PKWare would not disclose any details other than those in the joint release.
		She is responsible for publishing the Confidential Cross License Agreement which she found so at variance with her understanding of the situation, an understanding established on the word of Phil Katz.
		So after Phil Katz told us he would not settle this case like a gentleman, we were forced to ask the courts to settle it for us.

		Phil Katz died April 14, 2000, in Milwaukee, and I want to reflect on Phil's contributions to the world of PC computing.
		This fact, combined with a public perception that SEA was unfairly bullying Phil, led to a rapid acceptance of the Zip format as the new de facto standard for the BBS world.
		Phil not only treated the Zip file format as an open standard, he apparently cooperated with efforts to duplicate the deflate algorithm.
