Luke,

PKUNZIP.EXE is the DOS version of the popular Windows program WINZIP. So just go to www.winzip.com, download the trial version (which lasts ages) and unzip your file. Job done.

Cheers

Ian

Just download Winzip 8.1 and that will allow you to open the archive!

PKUNZIP is not the same as WinZip. WinZip is by "Winzip Computing Inc" and is a Windows GUI programme whereas PKUNZIP is by "PKware" and is a DOS programme.

If the programme you are using needs the PKUNZIP.EXE file, then you will need to download this from http://www.pkware.com/downloads/]PKware's download page. I can not find the DOS PKUNZIP file there though. They may have discontinued it.

Winzip may work, but if it doesn't let me know and I'll e-mail you the DOS PKUNZIP programme.

WinZip can open files compressed with pkunzip, and vice versa (to a point). Blaubox says you need pkunzip because it was written for DOS and it's quite old (although still the best ), but you can use WinZip all the same.
