    Pk zip has hijacked my computer.

    It is the default program for zip/unzip'ing.

    20 more days and I don't know what will happen.

    70 bucks man, 70 bucks.

    Youch.

    I tried to get a commmand line from 7zip but failed.

    I am going to try to see if pkzip works on the command line, think I did but will check again.

    I like 7zip.

    Whatever is on my computer will also handle the older lharc and the such.

    Infozip has shut it's downloads down for some reason.

    There is a 32bit PKZIP from PKWARE but it wasn't widely used. The command
    lines were different.

    The filename is pk250c32.exe but I'd recommend you go with a 32 or 64bit zip and unzip from the InfoZip people.

    Anyone know of anyplace?

    There are 32 and 64bit zip and unzip files here, along with the above 32bit PKZIP.
