Now, that's different. I have a "lowly" 640k system, and I regularly
create huge Zipfiles. (Ghostscript is over 700k zipped... I had to tar
it on to 2 floppies)

The question is, did you build a self-extracting Zipfile? If so, you may
not be able to execute it and disolve it. However, you should be able to
extract the members with PKUNZIP. Just give a full filename, so PKUNZIP
doesn't assume the .zip extension
