Hi james,
         We have a utility in linux to unzip the files, No matter in what 
format, they have been compressed. The utility is "tar" archive. I suggest you 
can very easily use this handy utility to decompress or unzip or untar the 
files.
 
Navigate to the path of your compressed file and try this command.
 
$tar -zxvf filename
 
I also recommend you to study the manual of "tar" archive,
 
$man tar
 
or 
 
$tar --help
 
Salman.

I downloaded a zip file to my linux box and I can't seem to find any 
info on how to unzip it...no winzip for linux, etc.  I see gzip and 
bzip2, but that seems to be it. They don't seem to be what I need.
Help.
Jim
