Sorry if this is either a repeat of a recent post or inappropriate, I
don't follow this group and I just checked the last few day's for
references to this type of problem and didn't find any.

I downloaded PKZIP.EXE, PKUNZIP.EXE and PKZIPFIX.EXE from
cica.cica.indiana.edu (actually, I tried a bunch o' sites).  When I
tried unzipping a zip file, it messed up my machine.  When in windows,
I got a "this application violated system integrity" error, and when
out of windows, it just hung.  What did I do wrong.  I got the file to
my PC by FTPing from a Sun 3/80 running SunOS 4.1 and putting FTP in
tenex mode.  Then I kermit'ed the files to my PC in file type bin mode.

Where can I find a working unzip?

Thanks
