Hi Jim,
As stated, I do not use freedos. Is there an infozip archive package on the freedos site? My desire would be an install executable complete with documentation, as I imagine there are utilities for more than one platform.
Thanks,
Karen

We use Infozip, and include that in the FreeDOS distribution. The zip files
are compatible with PKZip (PKWare opened up the file spec so anyone could
make compatible zip files.)

Try unzipping your file using InfoUnzip and see if that will extract them
correctly.

greetings folks,
as stated often,  while I do not use freedos, I am a strict DOS user.  By
which I mean, not using an emulation, with only DOS on my machines.
For well  ever I have used   the  edition of pk zip  et, al. from 1999,
which I believe was the last dos edition created by  that company.
I have a large archive of all text files, and am getting errors, creating
sub directories, stating the file name is incorrect, even though the
latter
is wrong.
As a result, I am wondering if there is a different strictly for DOS
program for managing  compressed files?
thanks for any ideas.
Karen
