uqwk +x +L should do.
:>If I follow the error message with the zip command quoted above,

That error probably comes from your shell, meaning there are no files
that match *.MSG, since uqwk didn't create them. For a little fun, try
typing "Got a light?" to the prompt, without the quotes...
:>If I simply run the command--
:>
:> uqwk

It's in QWK format. Presumably you could read it with a QWK reader.
:>I've tried--

:> uqwk -r

>From the manual:
-r Do not execute in read-only mode. This is the default.
+r means read only.
