Al,

Your settings worked fine, although I experimented a bit.
Here's what I ended up with for now:

;       InfoZIP (zip386 v 2.1 + unzip v5.31)

Archiver ZIP
        Extension     ZIP
        Ident         0,504b0304
        Add           zip386 -j9 %a %f
;        Add           zip386 -j9b l:\t %a %f
        Extract       unzip -njC %a %f
        View          unzip -v %a
End Archiver

The result of adding the -9 switch is a tossup, but on a fast
system its use isn't particularly objectionable.

In the commented-out line I played around with a RAM drive as
the work directory.

(I've got some kind of conflict between unzip32 and one of my
drivers.  I haven't tracked it down yet - otherwise I'd probably
have that plugged in above instead of the 16-bit app.)

Thanks again for your assistance.
