I owe you a beer -- this little tidbit just saved me some work (namely
downloading and installing pkunzip).  I don't "do" dos/windows but find
myself having to get stuff onto a networkless NT laptop.

Dang I'm glad I archive and glimpseindex all my mail!

P.S.  I'm cc'ing tlug on the premise that something useful to me may
      prove useful to someone else.  I'm usually conscientious about not
      forwarding someone's mail without permission, but I figured
      letting people know you're a dos guru can't be THAT embarassing
      (err, can it? :-).
