If I may follow up with a clarification here, having just obtained the
files in question from simtel20...

When you ftp the file, be sure you are in 'binary' mode.
After getting pkz110eu.exe you execute that file by itself.
This will 'explode' the file into about 15 individual files that you
will actually use to compress and uncompress (i.e. more .EXE files).
One of the files is a manual which you can use for further reference.

I hope this helps,
Laurel
