The formula is for pkzip (which does *not* work).
I unzipped ZipSlack using info-zip.

Have you tried with 4meg?  It might work with 4meg.
If it doesn't work with 4meg, then more RAM will
certainly make a difference (because it *does* work
with 20meg).  I just don't know how much RAM is
enough. Perhaps 4meg is enough.
