No, but that's because there wasn't a native windows version of PCBoard. It 
would have been a nightmare to port it too. It would probably have had to be 
completely re-written.

What I meant was, if you could find the commandline parameters, you could 
probably figure out what needed to go where (i.e. the ULP variables for the 
command line).

Personally, a zip is a zip. I used registered pkz204 when I was in dos, but 
used InfoZip when I switched to OS/2 (ulp2 and pcb2). But I still kept pkz204 
around for program archives to AV stamp them.
