Updating autoexec.bat is not always the correct thing to do.  I've
heard that in Windows 98 it doesn't work that way :-(

Run the zip picker through all the OSs and see if you've covered them
all.  Also, the FAQ says to adjust the registry before unzipping long
file names.  It would be great if your unzipper did that, to avoid
lfn/sfn problems.
