I'm afraid unless something is available at pkware.com -- your only other
choices are either WinZip or WinRAR (at least for Windows systems). And, most
of the Windows related software nowadays has a trial period, and shuts down
if you fail to register it. The only other thing I see if having a 32-bit
system (which I do, Windows 7 32-bit), and so the PKWARE stuff for DOS still
works.
