Dear Don, I went into the files but there doesn't seem to be any directions in there that I can understand. Maybe you can translate a few of them for me into normal language, not computer lingo. 1. unzip – list/test/extract from a ZIP archive file 2. unzip [ -cflptuvxz[ajnoqUV] ] file[.zip] [filespec …] 3. file[.zip] Path of the ZIP archive. The suffix ''.zip'' is applied if the file specified does not exist. Note that self-extracting ZIP files are supported; just specify the ''.exe'' suffix yourself. 4. An optional list of archive members to be processed. Expressions may be used to match multiple members; be sure to quote expressions that contain characters interpreted by the operating system. 5. Options -c,-f,-l,-p,-t,-u,-v,-x,-z 6. Unzip will list, test, or extract from a zip archive, commonly found on MSDOS systems. Archive member extraction is implied by the absence of the -c,-p,-t,-l,-v or -z options Hitting fairways and greens! The season has started!
