Ah ha.... found the problem.
While everything _seemed_ to have unzipped correctly.... it did not
work with the version unpacked while booted to OpenDos 7.01
So, I deleted everything from the FAT16 partition and
redid it but this time while booted to MsDos v7
Now it works perfectly on the FAT16 partition.
There seems to be some kind of incompatability between
OpenDos and the filename/dir structure in zipslack.zip
Most likely, OpenDos command.com can't handle the deep dir structure.
