Try following these steps -- they should solve your problem:
1. Download PKZ204G.EXE from this (or most any other established) BBS.
2. Go to the directory to which you downloaded PKZ204G.EXE.
3. At the command prompt in the directory you just went to, type
PKZ204G, and then hit the ENTER key.
4. Create or identify the directory in which you want to install the
contents of your .ZIP files (let's call it C:\INSTALL for hypothetical
purposes).
5. While still in the directory to which you downloaded PKZ204G.EXE,
type PKUNZIP FILENAME.ZIP C:\INSTALL (where FILENAME.ZIP denotes the
path and name of your .ZIP files).
6. At the command prompt, type CD\INSTALL.  This will take you to the
(hypothetical) directory to which you extracted the program files you
want.
7. While in C:\INSTALL, proceed with your specific programs'
installation instructions.
That's really all there is to it.  Let me know how it turns out.
