I fully agree with you that it is useless to discuss the matter any further
with the FSF. I just checked the FSF website and found their list of
acceptable Linux distributions. For some reason I had made the assumption
that the FSF went hand in hand with Linux, but mostly it doesn't. Most

Thanks for the suggestion. I've had conversations with the FSF about
getting FreeDOS listed on their Free Non-GNU Distributions page. It's not
going to happen.

The idea that asking about msdos in a freedos forum and raising questions
about software suggested in a freedos distribution due to date might be

giving Linux solutions to dos questions must be absolutely shameful.

Hi,
From the little information OP provided, I'd guess that the issue might be
rather related to missing LFN support - either in pkunzip or in her system,
while the text files stored inside the zip archives may use long filenames or
contain some unusual symbols (spaces...).
Actually, speak

Yes -but really no.
Many FreeDOS utilities (less, gzip) and compilers (eg DJGPP) are ports
from Unix/Linux.

I will indeed run the pkware utility on my zip file. It is after all the
first error in decades.
I will also point out to those suggesting Linux solutions on a freedos
forum the strangeness you hint at here.
My search of the infozip site documentation indicated that those upgrades
were for DOS
What i was seeking, and found on my own, were copies of infozip that
reflected their current editions of zip and unzip, from 2008 and 2009
respectively. Updates to their DOS programs created to incorporate
greater file sharing and disk sizes.
that pkware is 30 years old is irrelevant since i
That's one reason why I am surprised at all the Linux solutions offered in
this freedos forum.

The links in my previous mail point to pages which
