    zip files

    Having trouble unzipping zip files. I think i used to be able to do it with the tar command then grep it through something?
    I forgot, and for the life of me i cant work it out.
    Anyone want to help me with this?

    Cheers
    Its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you havent done :P

    $ rpm -qi unzip
    <ouput snipped to the description>
    Description :
    The unzip utility is used to list, test, or extract files from a zip
    archive. Zip archives are commonly found on MS-DOS systems. The zip
    utility, included in the zip package, creates zip archives. Zip and
    unzip are both compatible with archives created by PKWARE(R)'s PKZIP
    for MS-DOS, but the programs' options and default behaviors do differ
    in some respects.

    You probably just don't have it installed.
