Hi James
zip, and unzip work for zip files. also gzip, gunzip for .gz files
see: man zip or man gzip
as far as copy/and move files, use
cp
mv
(of course, you can us the 'man cp' to get info)

To rename and to move, use mv old file new file. To copy, use cp
file[s] new location.

Let me take a stab at this...
I used to be able to use unzip
Try this
unzip your zip file.zip
For Rename(Move), use mv source destination, but BE CAREFUL!!! Read the man
page or you could wipe out a file.
For Copy, use cp source destination Again, Read the man page if you are
unsure

unzip filename
Also, what are the commands to rename,
mv filename1 filename2
copy
cp filename1 path/to/filename2
(ie cp root/filename1
And it won't. :-) mv works for BOTH "rename" and "move" (if
you want, you can put in an alias in your .bashrc for "ren"
to "mv" and that would allow you to use the old "dos"
command "ren" G)
Watch it. While in DOS you can rename all .txt files to .doc with REN
*.TXT *.DOC, Linux won't
