I looked farther into what it takes to unzip on Windows. I found a script that will do a complete unzip into a folder. I haven't cracked the code so I'll have to see if I have everything to make it run, and then figure out how it works [;<).
An alternative I was looking at was using 7-zip. The 7z.exe is a command-line version and it makes it easy to extract selected portions to different locations without having to extract the entire archive first. But I found many thing not to like about advising users how to install and use the command-line version. So I am going to the first approach, which will be completely self-contained. Done that way, extract_downloads.bat will have the same effect as extract_downloads.sh once the extractions are all done. - Dennis [ ... ]
