SparkFS on RISC OS, InfoZip on RISC OS, BBCZip on BBC or RISC OS,
various others.
 
http://mdfs.net/Mirror/Archive/Acorn/32016 contains zip archives
of all the PanOS disks I have access to.
http://mdfs.net/Software/Tube links to system disks for various
second processors.
 
It's some time since I archives them, but I believe I did:
 
*treecopy disk::0 net::Mirror.incoming.PanOS1.0 A~CDR~P
*treecopy disk::2 net::Mirror.incoming.PanOS1.1 A~CDR~P
*zip PanOS1/zip PanOS1 -r -8
 
etc.
 
The archives are arranged as:
 
PanOS1/zip.0.files   - dfs side 0 directory $
PanOS1/zip.0.#.files - dfs side 0 directory #
PanOS1/zip.1.files   - dfs side 1 directory $
PanOS1/zip.1.#.files - dfs side 1 directory #
