    Pk zip has hijacked my computer.

    It is the default program for zip/unzip'ing.

    20 more days and I don't know what will happen.

    70 bucks man, 70 bucks.

    Youch.

    I tried to get a commmand line from 7zip but failed.

    I am going to try to see if pkzip works on the command line, think I did but will check again.

    I like 7zip.

    Whatever is on my computer will also handle the older lharc and the such.

    Infozip has shut it's downloads down for some reason.

    Here you go. Found this link the other day looking for the DOS version: https://www.pkware.com/store .

    There is a 32bit PKZIP from PKWARE but it wasn't widely used. The command
    lines were different.

    The filename is pk250c32.exe but I'd recommend you go with a 32 or 64bit zip and unzip from the InfoZip people.

    Anyone know of anyplace?

    There are 32 and 64bit zip and unzip files here, along with the above 32bit PKZIP.
