The only one I've found (so far) is called msexpand - but (helpfully) it
supports every version of MSDOS ever apart from 6.22 :-(
Unfortunately I'm surrounded by Linux machines right now and nothing
with a hard disk onto which I can install DOS - and I don't think I can
boot DOS 6.22 from floppies and tell expand to decompress a file into
memory, let me change floppies to the one I want the expanded version
on, and then write it out... :-)
Would it work to use FreeDOS and DOSEMU? I think you can even get images
that are pre-installed with FreeDOS so you won't need to go through the
installation process.
