The answer to your question is probably yes...you are running an out of
date version of unzip or arc.
Available on Magnus, in one of the /pub directories, are dos archive/
pack routines (ftp magnus). You can try them. If you are running
OS/2, ftp to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu and look in /pub/os2/all/archivers.
Beware, however, the Magnus .zip routines are themselves not up to date.
They do not reflect changes made by Info-Zip in November.
Complain to CONSULT if it turns out to be a problem for you too.
-Jim
NB: the best DOS machine is one running OS/2!
