I'm having some trouble unzipping the respective zip files on NT.

I read that LFN is not supported for NT yet, so using WinZip would not
work
correctly since it offers no option to use short filenames.  The web
page says to use unzip386.exe
However, the unzip386.exe bin doesn't seem to work well on NT.
I always get an "Abort" error.
So I read me up about other zippers that work... InfoZip was one listed,
but this also does not seem to have support for unzipping with short
filenames.  Can anyone point me in the direction of an unzipper that
will work on NT with Short filenames?

Thanks very much.

Alex
