I've got an old DOS zipped file that is not corrupt but I cannot
extract it. I've tried WinRAR, IZarc, Universal Extractor and Windows unzip.exe, all say unknown method. I also booted into Dr-DOS but I get the same message. Also, I've tried zip repair tools. How can I extract it? |

If it's that old you may need pkunzip to extract it, it's the old dos
zip program. There was pkzip and pkunzip. I'm not sure but I may have copies of them on my drives. Email me off the newsgroup and I can send them to you.

Do a Google search for ARCE.COM and you'll probably find a place to download the program. |

All these do not work either:
arce.com arj.exe expand.exe extract.exe lharc.exe I can see the files inside just fine with WinRAR, etc. but I just cannot extract them.
