The only thing it woul do is unzip a file. It wouldn't zip one. 
I always removed it because I would rather open a DOS window or use 
the complete Windows version. 


 BC> I never upgraded from the 2.04g DOS version to the 2.50 DOS version

 DC> To an extent, that's why I use both!   

  Features include support for Long File Names (LFNs) on Windows 95, 98,
  and Windows Me. You are no longer limited to DOS 8.3 file names when
  running PKZIP in a Windows 95/98 or Windows Me command line
  environment.  You can extract, store and view LFNs inside a .ZIP
  archive without truncating the filename.

  PKZIP 2.50 for DOS uses the classic PKZIP 2.04g command line syntax,
  and can be used with existing batch files & scripts with no changes.
  Additionally, PKZIP 2.50 for DOS increases the file storage limitation
  in PKZIP 2.04g from 5,000 to over 16,000 files stored in a single .ZIP
  archive.  The ability to store more files in a .ZIP archive is a great
  benefit to anyone doing backup and restore operations using PKZIP.
  For the advanced user, PKZIP 2.50 for DOS will use DOS Protected Mode
  Interface (DPMI) in Windows 95/98, OS/2 and other DPMI supported
  environments to run 32-bit code for better and faster compression
  performance.


v2.50 can be used with any version of DOS that v2.04g can: 

  System Requirements
  For DOS 2.0 and greater, Windows 3.1x or Windows 95/98, Windows Me
