What i was seeking, and found on my own, were copies of infozip that
reflected their current editions of zip and unzip, from 2008 and 2009
respectively. Updates to their DOS programs created to incorporate
greater file sharing and disk sizes.
that pkware is 30 years old is irrelevant since infozip is not a pk
product, just builds upon it.
That my error using pkware editions of zip is the first I have encountered
in more than those 30 years says allot for how solid, in a pure dos
environment, the program still works.

sorry, let me correct my question.
It appears that the edition of info zip's zip and unzip programs are not
current, from 2008 and 2009, according to my google.
Unfortunately sourceforge no longer lets you download from there without
JavaScript, these days.
So my goal is the most current edition, which does not seem to be what you
provide at the freedos site?
I am not sure what exactly you are looking for.
PK(un)ZIP is now almost 30 years old. The exact algorithms used are made
public for everyone to use 30 years ago. So why would there be anything more
"current"? Specially considering "pure DOS", which is officially dead for +25
years...
