OK, a few issues about your proposed inclusions in JDOSDIST :

1. Yes, you can include the PKWARE shareware package (I think),
   but users will only be able to use it for an evaluation period.
   Consider instead ZIP and UNZIP from Info-Zip (www.info-zip.org).
   This has the following advantages :
   - It's free.
   - It indexes large ZIP's much faster than PKUNZIP.
   - It can extract stuff from Windoze self-executable ZIP's.
   - UNZIP32 is compatible with Henrik Haftmann's DOSLFN,
     whereas PKUNZIP 2.50 isn't.
   The only disadvantage is that InfoZip still (!) doesn't support
   ZIP spanning over multiple diskettes.

2. No, I don't think you can distribute TASM (Borland/Inprise).
   Consider instead NASM (www.web-sites.co.uk/nasm ), it's free.

Joe.
