The DOS-based shareware program PKZIP will do this.  PKUNZIP is the
corresponding program which unpacks the compressed files.

This utility package is normally distributed as a self-extracting
archive called PKZ****.EXE (the **** representing the version number).
I think the latest release is PKZ204G.EXE.  It is available for download
on innumerable ftp sites, worldwide.
