I've used PKZIP and PKUNZIP on the Rainbow under DOS 2.11 and 3.10b.
It seems to work just fine, apart from being slower than when I run it
on that 25 MHz 386 that used to be in my office :-)

Can't speak for the other PCs listed, but I haven't had any problems
with it on the Rainbow.  That usually is a good indication that it
will work anywhere.

Keep up the good work Phil.
