I doubt changing the pathname will make any difference, most likely win10's zip output isn't compatible with ancient dos-based pkunzip. The only version of PKUnzip for DOS that understands long file names is 2.50 - anything less than that and it will not know what to do when it encounters an entry …

It's definitely the long file names. Rename the directory on your source pc to be no more than 8 characters long. Re zip it and copy and transfer again. I seem to get the same error after re-zipping the folder as tex1.zip . I'm using Windows 10 built in compression tool eg; ( right clicking on the …

Any ideas what could be happening? I basically zipped up the gog folder on my Windows10 PC to copy over. Once I ftp’d the zip file over onto my 386 box, I’m tried to unzip with pkunzip but it’s spitting out these errors. Filename 90543CE5-3DE7-4D38-A4AB-A93CF8EBB02A.jpeg File size 1.39 MiB Views …

The "floppy" install disk was actually just my GoTek USB key floppy, so I don't know if that would be causing the errors, however I agree maybe the download from WinWorldPC was bad, would make sense that it's locking up. Do you know if I zip a file using Windows 10 built in compression, if any …

To install PKZIP, I just copied all the files from the PKZIP Install Floppy to a folder on C: \pkzip as I did try to run the Install.bat file on the floppy but it just threw out a tone of errors about not being able to find files. The ton of errors might be an indication that the copy of PKZIP, as …

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Hi, what computer are you using? 808x, NEC V20/30, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486? I'm asking, because Pkunzip/Pkzip can detect the CPU type and EMS/XMS.. Speaking of EMS, XMS, you can try loading the updated versions of MS-DOS 6.x, they should work as well on v5. If not, …

Hey all, I downloaded PKZIP 2.04 for my 386 build running Dos 5.0A, but it seems every time I try to use it it's just freezing and I'll have to reboot. For instance, I wanted to extract a zip folder, so I typed pkunzip c:\temp\filename.zip c:\games but it immediately froze. I also mistakenly just …
