	On Simtel [26.2.0.74], in the UNIX archives (NOT the DOS
archives) somewhere there is:

	unzip30.tar-Z

which when uncompress-ed and un-tar-ed on the UNIX box, yields
the source and a makefile to allow the compilation of an unzipper.
	You might try cd'ing on Simtel to PD2:<UNIX-C> 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.
