        I kind of know what the .zip, .zoo, and .arc suffixes are, but
        how does one go about getting the programs to un.*** them?

        I am currently working on a rather outdated IBM-PC (I do have
        access to to an XT), and trying to get ahold of a working copy
        pkz102 seems impossible.

        Any help would be appreciated.
