   I had been to the Infozip page, but got blocked when the download sites   
   were frozen.  Because of your suggestion, I went looking harder.  I   
   found WIZ which is a windows version (not of any use in my intended   
   application) and then eventually found download sites for ZIP and UNZIP   
   from the Infozip project.  A brief test just now shows that they can   
   create an archive in my 64 bit system which can be unpacked by my 16-bit   
   PKUNZIP that I run in my virtual window using XP.   
      
   Thanks -- I think I can make that work and then migrate at least some of   
   my BBS things out of the virtual box into my actual Win7 system.  I   
   think that they might run a bit more smoothly there.
