Hey, what's the noise about?
EVERYBODY uses PKunzip? Me NOT!
PKunzip is SHAREWARE, whereas ZIP and UNZIP are FREEWARE!
UNZIP.EXE is, for instance, found in the SimTel/MSDOS directory
at all places mirroring it. With UNZIP, You won't have to deal with switches
as in PKunzip's '-d'.
ZIP.EXE can be retrieved by downloading 'ZIP20X.ZIP' from the 
same site, You got UNZIP from.
The main advantage of ZIP and UNZIP vs PKzip and PKunzip is:
1.) You get them free!
2.) There's 50% less of tipping to be done for unzipping a 
     package including directoy structures.

So long,

JJ
