But unzip (at least) does exist for Unix courtesy of the Info-ZIP project - I
use it on my machine regularly. Try wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/unix-c or
something like that for the package unzip41.tar-z. From comments in the unzip
package, it looks like there is (or soon will be) a zip program. I have had
zero problems bringing stuff from my 386 at home and unzipping it on the
sun4's we have at work. Because I rarely transport things from work to home,
my present lack of zip is not a big deal (I use tar and compress if I have
to).
