Actually, if you're looking for a CLI solution, you can use
InfoZIP on both WinDOHS machines and on Amiga machines. I think
executable programs for InfoZIP on the Amiga can be found on
Aminet in util/arc. It used to have a dedicated website, but
I can't seem to find it any more. You may be able to come up
with it from a search engine.
