I am trying to migrate some of my BBS applications to my Win 7 pro,
64-bit machine. I can run them all in a Win XP in a virtual window, but
would like to get as far away from that as I can.

Right now, the thing that has me stumped is getting a replacement for
PKZIP and PKUNZIP that will run on 64 bit machine. Of course, I would
prefer to find a freeware program.

I've found several programs that will unzip files made with PKZIP, but
none of them will zip into a PKZIP format -- as least as far as I can
see.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Dale. Have you tried Infozip ?

I've got a new HP Stream 11 - shipped with Win 8.1 and has been upgraded to Win
10. It came with 7-Zip pre-installed, which seems to be working just fine with these newer Windows version.

However, I'm curious what Dale means by 'PKZIP format' - is he referring to something other than standard *.zip archives?

If it's just a standard *.zip file, no additional software is needed - either to unzip or to create a new compressed *.zip file - Windows for quite some time
has included support for both unzipping and compressing - though it can be a bit awkward and non-intuitive.

(For those who don't know how, right-click on the Desktop or some other location in Explorer where you want a compressed file; pick New from the context menu, then Compressed Folder. Give the new 'compressed folder' the name
you'd like your *.zip file to have. Then copy the desired contents into that 'folder' - the copied files will be compressed.

Similarly, Windows treats a *.zip file as a folder - double-clicking opens the folder and allows you to copy the contents from that folder to another location
- uncompressing them along the way).

With cygwin you can have 64bit InfoZip.

I've got a new HP Stream 11 - shipped with Win 8.1 and has been
upgraded to Win 10. It came with 7-Zip pre-installed, which seems to
be working just fine with these newer Windows version.

It works fine for compressing files that one might later want to
decompress with 7Zip. However, if I use it to compress my mail packets
for sending upstream, I am not sure that the receiver will be able to decompress -- especially if he uses only PKZIP.

However, I'm curious what Dale means by 'PKZIP format' - is
he referring to something other than standard *.zip
archives?

If you look at a compressed archive with a hex editor, you will see the
first few characters that define the compression algorithm used. For
PKZIP, the first two characters are PK (and then some other stuff). For
7Zip, the first two characters are 7Z.

If it's just a standard *.zip file, no additional software
is needed - either to unzip or to create a new compressed
*.zip file - Windows for quite some time has included
support for both unzipping and compressing - though it can
be a bit awkward and non-intuitive.

There are a number of compression programs and algorithms. PKZIP, 7ZIP
and RAR to name a few. It is not in windows that I am concerned about.
It in preparing mail packets for sending to my uplink.

Hi Dale. Have you tried Infozip ?

I had been to the Infozip page, but got blocked when the download sites
were frozen. Because of your suggestion, I went looking harder. I
found WIZ which is a windows version (not of any use in my intended application) and then eventually found download sites for ZIP and UNZIP
from the Infozip project. A brief test just now shows that they can
create an archive in my 64 bit system which can be unpacked by my 16-bit PKUNZIP that I run in my virtual window using XP.

Thanks -- I think I can make that work and then migrate at least some of
my BBS things out of the virtual box into my actual Win7 system. I
think that they might run a bit more smoothly there.

I'm afraid unless something is available at pkware.com -- your only other choices are either WinZip or WinRAR (at least for Windows systems). And, most of the Windows related software nowadays has a trial period, and shuts down
if you fail to register it. The only other thing I see if having a 32-bit system (which I do, Windows 7 32-bit), and so the PKWARE stuff for DOS still works.

Actually, my legacy 16-bit programs do not work in my version (64-bit)
of windows 7. Much of my BBS system does work there -- Maximus, Squish
and Argus work just fine now that I have switched out PKZIP for the
infozip programs zip and unzip. I'm also able to run some other 16-bit programs using a modified version of DOSBOX called vDOS. It even allows
me to send a print file to an application (I use editpad lite, but
notepad would work equally well). The only thing that I cannot make
work perfectly is my BlueWave reader. It works, but the vDOS version
messes with the time stamp on the files. Hence, I am now running
Bluewave in Win XP in a virtual window.

The virtual window did not seem to work well for Argus -- it kept
dropping internet connectivity, but as I said Argus runs in Win 7 now.

spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: PKZIP for Win 7 <=-

The 16-bit works under 32-bit, but NOT 64-bit. I've got WinRAR to
handle all my archives now...and am debating convering the entire
filebase from ZIP and ARJ to RAR...although hard drive space is not an issue.

I ended up deciding on zip and unzip from infozip, using command line arguments. They work fine, and produce a format that would be
complatible with PKZIP if that becomes necessary.

even considering going to Windows 10. For that matter, if Windows 10 only has 64-bit, the discussion is CLOSED.

im running the 32 bit in a virtual machine right now.

I was not too pleased with the Upgrade to Win 10 on my Laptop but
decided to also do the Desktop, After making a clone drive of win 7 in
case I decided to go back.

I am totally unhappy with the new File Explorier.
Any suggestions form those here for something close to the Win 7 file explorier.

I've got a new HP Stream 11 - shipped with Win 8.1 and has been

working just fine with these newer Windows version.

Does the Windows 10 upgrade take up any more disk space once it's upgraded? Like the Stream 11, they're very tempting.

Upgrading an earlier version, Win10 archives the previous version and saves
it in an OldWindows folder which is automatically removed after 30 days.

Being short of space - 32 GB SSD - I used the Windows Cleanup utility to remove
it right after installation. Once that was done, the Win10 installation seemed about the same size as the original Win 8.1 one.
