you may feel free to contact Quarterdeck Corpoation, Clearwater, FL at 
1-800-282-7166.  They have a utility program called "Vertisoft Zip-It" 
which works with Win 95, 3.1 and NT.  It allows viewing and editing 
ZIPped files, makes Windows compatible self-extracting ZIP files, 
automatically span zipped files across disks, and is 100% PKZIP 
compatible.  I just placed an order for it.  From the material that I 
received in the mail this program seems like one that you might be 
looking for.  If you order it and after you get it, let me know what you 
think about it.

PS:  Don't forget to ask about system requirements.
