Doom Unzip Problems?

I retrieved ftp versions of doom1_1a.zip and doom1_1b.zip, transferred
them to floppies and brought them home.  I copied them to my hard
drive and tried to run pkunzip on them but received a message something
like this:
	Unzipping doom1_1a.zip
		Error: Don't know what to do with <filename1>
		Error: Don't know what to do with <filename2>

So, I assumed I had an out of date version of pkunzip.  I then ftp'd
something that looked like the latest pk version, called pkz361.exe.
Instead of pkunzip, it had pkunpak.exe.  When I tried this on my
doom files it started extracting, but the file name it was trying
to work on was qb^1/2%%@( or something else that was highly unlikely.

It eventually failed with a CRC error.

Anybody else seen this?

Do I need a different version of the PK software?

I'd like to play this weekend, so if anyone can lend a helping hand,
I'd sure appreciate it.

Craig, go to same place you got PKUNPAK, and download PKZ204G.EXE (or a name 
damn close to that).  The latest version of ZIP is 2.04G (hence the name).
Good luck, and good hunting!  We know you'll make your mother and me very 
proud.  :^)

Did you binary transfer the files from (a) ftp site and (b) host to local
disk?
