The announcement appended below was posted to c.b.i.p.d; I'm reposting
it here because it may be of interest to folks.  Although the message
doesn't mention it, unzip 4.1 does, in fact, compile under OS/2.  Use
the "msc_os2" Makefile target and the .def file in the included OS/2
archive.  I suspect an already-compiled version will be uploaded shortly.

[It's possible that the internal archives--for OS/2, VMS, Mac, etc.--
were mistakenly left in .zip format for all the versions listed below,
not just unzip41.zip.  So y'all might wait a couple days before snarfing
this, while I check in with our Fearless Leader.  Anyone running a DOS
box who does NOT have an unzipper yet can just grab the DOS executable
at the same time.]

I have uploaded version 4.1 of the Info-ZIP project's generic unzip
utility to SIMTEL20:
 
pd1:<misc.unix>
UNZIP41.ARC     Generic unzip v4.1 for free public distribution
UNZIP41.TAR-Z   Same as above, but compressed tar format
 
pd1:<misc.vaxvms>
UNZIP41.ARC     Generic unzip v4.1 for free public distribution
 
pd1:<msdos.zip>
UNZIP41.EXE     Info-ZIP's free UNZIP v4.1 for MS-DOS
UNZIP41.ZIP     C source code for free Unix/VMS/MS-DOS UNZIP
 
UNZIP41.EXE is a self-extracting archive created via LHA.  It contains
an MSDOS executable of Info-ZIP's generic unzip utility (compiled via
Borland's Turbo C v2.0), plus unzip.man and short text file.
 
This version of unzip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and
other mainframes, minis, and micros (to include MSDOS, Atari ST (kinda),
and Macintosh).  Although highly compatible with Phil Katz's PKZIP
and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, our objective has been one of
portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality.
 
Please note that UNZIP41.ARC, UNZIP41.TAR-Z, and UNZIP41.ZIP all
contain the same files.  They were uploaded in three different formats
for your convenience.
