From the mmail.rc

# Decompression commands (must include an option to junk/discard paths!)
arjUncompressCommand: arj e
zipUncompressCommand: unzip -joLq
lhaUncompressCommand: lha efi
rarUncompressCommand: rar e -cl -o+ -inul
tarUncompressCommand: tar zxf
unknownUncompressCommand: xxuncompress

# Compression commands (must include an option to junk/discard paths!)
arjCompressCommand: arj a -e
zipCompressCommand: zip -jkq
lhaCompressCommand: lha af
rarCompressCommand: rar u -ep -inul
tarCompressCommand: tar zcf
unknownCompressCommand: xxcompress


And Pk*zip should be in a dir in your path. In my case it's C:\SBBS\EXEC, just
so long as the command can be found. You can always include drive\path
parameters too (I do)
