You should be alright if you grab a copy of CWSDPMI and add it either to:

Hello Karen,
As I've stated in my previous email:

Regular zip files can be decompressed with unzip. For compression, use zip.
7z files can be decompressed with 7zip.
They're all on the full FreeDOS install CD.

Is this different from the pzip utility I found referenced when I googled
7zip in dos?
I am not using freedos, but ms dos 7.1 will it make a difference?
I had to laugh as the pzip package requires bz2 for the unzipping, which
is something pzip does.

Mistery solved ... the trouble apparently was that the Connect
