Hmm, I don't think you need Fink to get unzip (I am running 10.2.8).
%whereis unzip
gives
/usr/bin/unzip
Thats some attitude that program has. I tried
%unzip help
and unzip replied, and I quote
unzip: can't find help, help.zip or help.ZIP, so there.
I like the "so there" part. I found the help menu on the second try
%unzip -help
Thanks for the warning about the p/48 directory. I didn't know that
there was another directory inside the p directory.
By the way, help file says
-f freshen existing files, create none
which I don't understand
would the -u option make more sense?
-u update files, create if necessary
