The answer to your question is probably yes...you are running an out of
date version of unzip or arc.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!
