Winzip (shareware) will do it, Stuffit Expander for Windows will do most
everything (but not detar, nor uncompress, strangely, tho the Mac version
will), and tho it won't do nuthin but zip, the new pkzip for Windows is
very nice (no, I didn't say anything nice about Windows per se)
Use www.shareware.com to get the closest copies
