hi,

below a quote from man gunzip:

"Files created by zip can be uncompressed by gzip only if they have a single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This feature is only intended to help conversion of tar.zip files to the tar.gz format. To extract zip files with several members, use unzip instead of gunzip."

if you already have unzip installed on your system (check using which unzip), you may use it else download from the url provided above

kind regards

Hi,

If unzipping files is a rare event for you, consider using an online utility:

Shalom,

In day to day operations, having an unzip utility is the way to go. If nothing is available in the Internet Express Package from http://software.hp.com its best to have such a utility available locally on all systems.

If you don't have access to an unzipping utility, you can use the jar command, included in the "bin" directory of the Java, as long as it is reachable from your executable path.
% jar xvf file.zip

HTH,
