  I will ask Janis and get back to you.

My command lines appear to be the very close to yours:

Unpack "unzip -joLqq $a -d $p" 0 504b0304
Pack   zip "zip -9 -jgq $a $f"

  We have already agreed to use uncompressed PKT's when tranfering mail in
the future.

The wierd part is that if I use the same command line that HPT uses with the
exception of replacing the $a and the $p with the actual data in a "DOS"
window. The command unpack the mail bundle ok. I was looking at unpacking the
mail bundles via a batch file prior to calling HPT but ran into batch file
limitations when using wildcards in filenames.
