Sure. Info-Zip. It's a free, portable ZIP archiver. You should get the
source and build it with DJGPP to be able to use LFN's. I think you can find
it in the arcers/ directory of Simtelnet. Also, I think there are .tar.gz
packages, and prebuilt binaries for many Unices on ftp.uu.net/pub/archivers
(or something like that).
