DOSZIP COMMANDER 3.61 (win32) doesn't run under WinXP.
I tried to rebuild from sources but didn't help.
I had to manually fix some missing imports.

dz.exe didn't run under WinXP due to missing imports from kernel32.dll, patched:
GetDateFormatEx -> GetDateFormatA
GetTimeFormatEx -> GetTimeFormatA

I also have similar problem with make.exe from ASMC package.
make.exe didn't run under WinXP due to missing import of func
_get_pgmptr from msvcrt.dll
this functions is present in msvcr100.dll so I patched library name in make.exe

Unfortunatelly replacing
GetDateFormatEx -> GetDateFormatA
GetTimeFormatEx -> GetTimeFormatA
led to invalid display of date & time in panels. Could it be fixed with some ifdef with different codepath for WXP and newer. Need to find Nidud mail or how to contact him?

I had the same problem and fixed it by
...
converting the Makefile to a simple batch file.

Nidud already recompiled make.exe as static, so it works now :)

I was in touch with Nidud on Github and he fixed the date/time issue. I compiled from current sources and everything works fine now :)
