Why take all the trouble, linux has;
unzip (unzip: pkzip files)
unarj (unarj: arj files)
Both of the above have the "multi volume option" allowing one to
create/unarchive a file on different floppys.
There are more, its just i have never used them.
'man unzip'
'man unarj'
Why use DOS when *NIX has all the answewrs to DOS problems.
