An extract from /pc/ts/tsfaq17d.arc:

 Q1: What is this file with this .zip (.arc, .arj, .lzh, .pak, .sdn,
.zoo) extension? What am I supposed to do to it?
 Q2: I can't run this file I got with a .zip extension.

 A: This is a total beginner's question, but never mind. One is
supposed to start from somewhere. These files with a .zip (.arc,
.arj, .lzh, .pak. .zoo) are compressed collections of files. You are
not supposed to run a compressed entity (often also called an
archive). You are supposed to unpack it first to extract the files
from within the package. For this you need the relevant (un)packing
program. You can find them in the /pc/pd2 and /pc/arcers directories
at the anonymous ftp site garbo.uwasa.fi, or at practically any fine
bulletin board. (After you have gotten them, they are very easy to
process, since most often these utilities are self-extracting). At
the time of writing this we have eg
  arc602.exe      SEA's .arc packing/unpacking system.
  arj100.zip      Robert Kung's .arj archiver
  lh113de.exe     Lharc for .lzh compression
  lha210e.exe     LHa for .lzh compression, English version.
  pak251.exe      NoGate (un)packing for pak, arc, sdn, zip, files
  pk361.exe       This packed and unpacked .arc files fast
  pkz110eu.exe    PKZIP/PKUNZIP "Euroversion" with no encryption
  zoo201.exe      Zoo packing/unpacking facility from Rahul Dhesi
Once you are well familiar with unpacking and packing, there is an
excellent shell for running these utilities. It is called SHEZ and
is in version /pc/pd2/shez59.zip at the time I wrote this item.
   Another advanced feature once you get the hang of this, is that
(most of) these are available in the Unix environment, as well. See
the /unix/ts directory at garbo.uwasa.fi archives for the Unix
versions.

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send
prerecorded instructions on request.  (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply.  Contact your
system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you, because
unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server
anyway.  If you are in North America first consider using an ftp
site near you to spare the overseas load.)
