You are trying to use PKZIP for an OS/2 system, that's essentially a bad
idea. Probably your Squish spawns to DOS for PKZIP and then it could not
find the PKZIP in the path. Copying PKZIP or adding the appropriate path to
the default path variable in the autoexec.bat may do the trick. On the
other hand, perfect solution is using a OS/2 native ZIP, most probably
Info-zip.  Switching to Info-zip is seamless. Just replace the PKZIP and
PKUNZIP to ZIP and UNZIP. But for unzip you may have to consider to junk
the directories (-j switch). When using ZIP, no change is necessary but
you'd like to use -9 for maximum compression.

This is from my compress.cfg. Lines commented out with % are the lines
you'll need. :-)

        View            pkunzip -v %a
End Archiver
