Yes, you can use unz540x.exe on MS-DOS 6.22 for unzipping ZipSlack. That
is what it was made for. It uses a 32-bit DOS extender, allowing it to be
a 32-bit program. However, it does NOT use Windows at ALL. It is a DOS
PROGRAM ONLY, not a Win32 Console App, like PKZip 2.5 is. The latest
real PKZip for REAL DOS is 2.04g, which is NOT capable of unzippping
ZipSlack.
