    Basically, I'm looking for one for DOS.

    I thought you were going to write one. Or was that for a different utility?

    Check out Norton Commander, MS-DOS Shell, and likely a few other file managers. Some of them might have a front end for pkzip.

    I think you're referring to 2MF and JAM. I have some. Want them?

    I use Star Commander, but I think all it does is decompress the files upon open.

    Na. Thank you for the offer.

    I use Star Commander, but I think all it does is decompress the files
    upon open.

    I was thinking more about creating and manipulating archives than I was
    about accessing files in them.
