	Greetings. Not true. Not only do I have UNZIP under UNIX, I
	also have the source (I'll have to check if there are strings
	attached ;-) But, it _is_ possible.

	However, since so many on the net use UNIX, why not use the
	compress utility (generates a .Z file) I think I have an
	executable for MS-DOS that will uncompress a UNIX archive.

	By the way, there is also an utility to un-TAR a file :-)
