Sounds like you're using the internal ZIP and UNZIP functions in
OLX.  If I recall correctly these functions, in the early
versions of OLX, were compatible with PKZIP Ver 1.10.  Try
configuring your OLX to use external PKZIP/PKUNZIP Ver 2.04g.
Suggest you get the OLX patch files to upgrade OLX 3.02 to OLX
1.53.  OLX 1.53 is actually later than OLX 3.02 because MSI
changed the OLX numbering system with QMPro for DOS.  BTW the
internal ZIP/UNZIP in OLX 1.53 supports PKZIP/UNZIP Ver 2.04g.
