I'll ask for giorgio include infozip as alternative for igor zip.

It's more stable and fast.

PIM and PeaZip correctly recognize and process files compressed in Info-ZIP with the bzip2 option. I suggest that this be noted in the PIM and PeaZip doc files - users will know they do not need to wait for Unzip.

(Tested on archives produced by rugxulo's DOS/djgpp compilation).
