PKZip has a new shareware version out, replacing PKZ204G.Exe, it's now version 2.50, at http://www.pkware.com/shareware/pkz250dos.html / ftp://ftp.pkware.com/PK250DOS.EXE / ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/arcers/pk250dos.exe Other versions on their web pages for other OS's. Simtel would have the 2.04G at that same URL, I thought, apparently not though, 2.50 is fine though, I've swapped over to it. $47.00 USD for registering it. Another option; LHA is freeware. ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/arcers/lha255e.exe may be less pricey for you to use, but a little unfamiliar at first. It uses 'a' instead of '-a', not huge differences. And no threat of lawsuits over copyright infringement, etc...
