A .ZIP file is a single compressed file that contains many larger files. Compressed files are popular because they cut your downloading time in half or even less, and make it possible to fit large collections of files onto one floppy disk. To decompress a .ZIP file, you need a copy of the current version of PKUNZIP, which is a shareware program. Click here to download a copy. Then copy it to your \DOS directory. WINDOWS: in File Manager, move the PKUNZIP.EXE program to the DOS directory if it is not there already. Since PKUNZIP is a DOS application/utility, it is best to run it from a C:> DOS prompt. Click here for detailed, step by step examples on how to use PKUNZIP once it has been installed and decompressed on your hard disk. If you are unfamiliar with DOS, and would prefer a Windows unzip utility, check out The Unzip Wizard.
