Probably you are trying to extract a zip flie created by Info-ZIP's zip
in Linux. Described problem don't appear if an archive created by PkZip.
Info-ZIP's zip stores not only files, but also directories (look at
their attributes and type).
The list of archive created by Info-ZIP's zip in Linux:
Filename: 1/
File type: binary

Created by: PKZIP: 2.3 under *nix
Needed to extract: PKUNZIP: 1.0
Filename: 1/000.bin
File type: binary

Probably pkunzip can't handle directories which have type "binary" and
have no "directory" attribute. I am not sure if this problem is related
to FreeDOS kernel... Unfortunately I have no access to my PC-DOS box
now, but I will test PkZip/unzip later.
