Howdy Don,

You asked,

You should look for the Phil Katz ZIP utility. The latest version is
available as 'PKZ102.EXE'. You just run the executable file and it will
create the ZIP and UNZIP utilities on your disk in addition to various
bits of documentation. You might find that you local board only has
'PKZ101.EXE' which is alright as well since the update to v1.02 was not
a significant one. Do not obtain 'PKZ092.EXE' however since it does not
have the ability to handle the newer compression technique employed by
the latest version.

ZIP is used pretty much the same way as ARC although if you have been
using NARC you will have to remember that there are separate utilities
for creating, and for extracting from, ZIP files.

--Regards!
