The unzip project has made some pretty clean code and you should be able to
easily compile it on the machine where you have an account already.  Drop me
a line if you need help; I made it easily under SunOS 4.1.x, 3.5, Ultrix
4.2, NeXT 2.1 and 3.0, 386BSD and Linux.  Can't get much easier than that. 
Be aware that gunzip will unzip files compressed with zip (up to 1.9x of the
PKZip format) but only if they have a *single* item in the archive.  In
otherwords, GNU zip is a good replacement for Unix compress, but not a good
replacement for a real zip utility for manipulating DOS archives.ÿ

That story about the jello..that is kinda "been done before" stuff, but 
still in all a great thing to do once in a while for parties.  Try this 
one sometime..a guy brought a big Tupperware bowl (w/lid) full of pinapple 
chunks that he had soaked in a liquer (Blue Curaco I think).  Anyways he 
just placed it on the coffee table and let everyone dig i{.  Well after 
awhile you get rather f'ed up on those chunks...and they did taste so 
great!!  He was tossing them across the room into people's mouths (or 
fairly close to it :) ...or try the watermelon w/vodka trick...thats 
always popular!
