I'm not sure if "unzip" is a typo or not, but to unzip files zipped by
WinZip i use "gunzip /path/to/file".
The problem I have is unzipping multispanned WinZip archives. The only way
to unzip these is to use WinZip in Windows. After unzipping the file in
Windows, I use WinZip to rezip them on the Windows hard drive, and then use
gunzip to unzip them and store the file in Linux - a lot of messing about,
but it gets files from Windows work to Linux home. It also prevents the
hassles of Linux reading the files in 8.3 dos format.
No doubt the Karchiver (or is it Kzip?), utility in KDE, will one day have
the same functionality of WinZip, and will be albe to deal with
multi-spanned WinZip archives.
