I still use Dos fairly often on my Win98 machine, so I still have PKZIP
and a lot of other dos utilities installed. 

What I liked about Dos utilities was that they did not need to be
installed. If I install Dos on another computer, I just copy my entire
"Utilities" folder over to the other machine and it all works right
away.

I didnt know Linux used ZIP. I see a lot of Linux stuff compressed with
..TAR. I know there is something on one of my computers that will open
them things, but I rarely get them. I have a couple bootable flash
drives with some of the old (small) linux editions, but I dont do much
with Linux. I did install PCLinux on a spare HDD, but it was an old one.
Seems linux these days is doing the same as Microsoft. Bloating the crap
out of everything. I cant even get any of the newer Linux to boot, it
just hangs. I mostly use those old ones to boot if XP gets screwed up.
For example I saved a file with a filename that was too long. I dont
know why Windows allowed me to save it, but it did, and it kept causing
errors. XP would not allow me to delete it, rename it, or do anything.
Linux let me get rid of it.
