But I believe he wanted to archive his images on a PC, to be extracted on a
picture bureau's Mac.

Zipit, on the Mac, handles PKZip 2.04g files, but the version I have
registered, 1.3.2b2, fails on multi-floppy archives. Specifically it falls
over when trying to extract multi-floppy archives created on a PC. I don't
know if Tommy Brown has fixed it- maybe he has.

If there was a capable Compactpro archiver for the PC, that should work.
