I have "unzipped" and "unarced" fairly large files (using pkunzip.exe
and pkunpak.exe), and I have sometimes had problem with memory.  The
reason I point this out is that I'm doing this on an IBM XT (4.77MHz)
with only 320k RAM (327,680 is the exact amount).  With Procomm
running I only have 167k left!  (I just checked.)
