Pick up a copy of unzip401.{arc|tar-z} at Simtel ([misc.unix], [misc.vaxvms],
probably [msdos.zip], possibly elsewhere), or wait about two days for v4.1
to be released.  MSDOS/Mac/Atari/VMS/OS2/etc executables will be made available
at that time as well, and one of the MS-DOS versions will be posted to 
comp.binaries.ibm.pc shortly thereafter.

Btw, DOS zipfiles as well as Unix ones store paths with '/' rather than '\'.
Your problem is that unzip doesn't recreate the directory structure by default.
You need to unzip with the "-d" option to do that.
