 The PK204g files are working for the DOS version right now, and are in my
PATH. W98 is the OS, on a 366MHz Celeron.

As you asked:
# Base directories (derived from $HOME or $MMAIL)
homeDir: h:\mm
mmHomeDir: h:\mm\mmail

[...]
# Decompression commands (must include an option to junk/discardpaths!)
arjUncompressCommand: arj e
zipUncompressCommand: unzip -o
# 3^+->
# -joLq
lhaUncompressCommand: lha efi
rarUncompressCommand: rar e -cl -o+
tarUncompressCommand: tar zxf
unknownUncompressCommand: xxuncompress

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

I've also tried '-#' as a switch. I also called the 'C:\UTIL\PKUNZIP' directly.
(Forget what switches were there at the time, but as the DOS version works...)
As I've posted to others, I think it's prudent for me to upgrade before I flog
this old horse any more.

 WM> BTW, 0.38 is almostthree years old. 0.46 is current.

I know, I know... Any day now. <-;
