Question: Does BSD Unix have "zip" and "unzip" ?

Red Hat Linux (they use that at my ISP, and I had Red Hat running briefly
on a 386) has "zip" and "unzip", which work with and are compatible with 
the same .zip archives made by DOS pkzip and windows Winzip. So I can
compress/uncompress archives in either operating system and the .zip files 
are interchangable. I hope BSD Unix has "zip".  

ALSO :

Red Hat Linux had "Midnight Commander" - a linux version of the DOS 
"Norton Commander"... I can't imagine using DOS or linux without
that! 

Could you run these in BSD Unix ?  
I am told that BSD Unix has a linux emulator. Can the linux emulator be
used to run these programs ?
