If I do "run unzip.exe etc" I get a "try with less > parameters" message. Which is the correct syntax? Here's a copy of a file called UNZIP.WHERE that I downloaded from NIORD.SHSU.EDU this morning. The backup saveset of UNZIP for VMS in the UNZIP directory on Niord works for me. The listing below may show you some closer sites.
