10.0 appears to be using LZH + LZW + SF + Huff + PPMd, as reported via MaximumCompression

Hi All, just wonder if anyone know the algorithms behind the Winzip 10.0 trial version?
What I know so far is that:
- for maximum data compression is a hybrid of LZ77 and Huffman coding known as 'Deflate'. LZW (Lepmel-Ziv-Welch) coding is patented by Unisys, Deflate is (as far as I know) public domain.
- Also use the repeated character compression algorithm.
Is there anything else?
Thanks a lot.
