I have uploaded the following:

TO_ZIP.ARC      Utility for mass conversion of .ARC or .LZH to .ZIP

I wrote this program to call LHARC, PKXARC, and PKZIP repeatedly to
help me convert a directory of 400+ .LZH files to .ZIP files and place
them in a separate directory without my constant interaction and
command issuing.  Even a batch file requires the repeated issuing of
the next file to be converted.  This automates the process for the
user, BBS sysop, club archiver, etc.  Works great for mass conversions
of .ARC to .ZIP or .LZH to .ZIP!
