    ML> have you looked at 7-zip?   
       
    DS> Yes I did.  It unzips PKZIP files fine.  But unless there is a   
    DS> setting I have not found, when it compresses files it does so in a   
    DS> 7Z format and not a PK format.   
      
   Have now been told of the setting to force 7z to use PK format.   
      
    HG> Have you confirmed that PKUNZIP or Infozips UNZIP cannot handle 7-ZIP   
    HG> compressed files?   
      
   Yes.  Without the -t parameter, 7-zip compresses using its own 7z   
   format.  The header is not even recognized by PKUNZIP.  Don't know about   
   unzip at this time.  That project is on hold while I try to solve some   
   other problems caused by migrating from Win XP to Win 10.
