In LMDE6,
Downloading AGATE.ZIP, then
running unzip AGATE.ZIP gives a bunch of files in a directory called ZIPDUMP
They look like .pfa and .pfb font files with a creation date of 1991.

If you just want a more GUI access to these ancient files, you could install ark to view/access them in the .zip file.

I'd like Nemo being able to do that too, without using a command but with File Roller.

I recommend using Ark.

Yes, but I want to use Nemo, not Ark, not unzip.

Looks like 7z can't open these. If you remove 7z file-roller can then open them. I'm not sure yet what it uses instead, maybe just zip/unzip

Midnight Commander is using unar to open .PAK files. Indeed, after uninstalling 7zip and p7zip, it works with Nemo. Is it because there's a bad link in file-roller? .PAK isn't in the list of files that p7zip can open: https://www.7-zip.fr
