Hi!

FreeDOS has been using info-zip as the ZIP and UNZIP tool
ever since I can remember. And it works very nicely, so
I do not miss PKZIP either. If somebody really does miss
it, a wrapper to translate PKZIP OPTIONX into a call to
ZIP OPTIONY might be an idea, but as said, I do not think
anybody would miss PKZIP when he has INFO ZIP :-).
