There is a free working UNZIP for Unix - unzip41, which was recently posted
to comp.sources.misc.

The Info-ZIP group has a working free ZIP program for Unix.  It's
still in Beta test.  If you would like to help in Beta testing and
porting, send email to Info-ZIP-Request@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL asking
to be added to the mailing list.
