You might try cd'ing on Simtel to PD2: and ls'ing to find an info file to point to exactly where the unzip file is stored. The info output of the command with no args is: UnZip: Zipfile Extract v3.0 (C) of 05-03-90; (C) 1989 Samuel H. Smith Courtesy of: S.H.Smith and The Tool Shop BBS, (602) 279-2673. Usage: unzip [-tcv] file[.zip] [filespec...] -t test member files -c output to stdout -a carriage return to space conversion -m map extracted filenames to lowercase -v view directory ------------------- Good luck. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bob Davis, UofALA'66 \\ INTERNET : sonny@trantor.harris-atd.com | _ _ | Harris Corporation, ESS \\ UUCP : ...!uunet!x102a!trantor!sonny |_| |_| | | Advanced Technology Dept.\\ AETHER : K4VNO |==============|_/\/\/\|_| PO Box 37, MS 3A/1912 \\ VOICE : (407) 727-5886 | I SPEAK ONLY | |_| |_| | Melbourne, FL 32902 \\ FAX : (407) 729-2537 | FOR MYSELF. |_________|
