you can use gunzip for this puepose. 'gunzip -d'.

Also there is a third party patch for the same. (I couldnt recollect the same)

Or just unzip the same in your PC using winzip and transfer to the system.

>Viveki: you can use gunzip for this purpose.

gunzip may work in some cases but best to get the real thing.

You can also use Java 1.4 to unzip if you have it.

/opt/java1.4/bin/jar -xvf

I sure hope not. "/usr/local/bin/", perhaps.

If there is only one compressed file in .zip, any of the above commands works. AFAIK, Oracle installation is a directory tree. NPUX unzip can't work with such a structure. It's possible uncompess the installation either on Windows or LINUX machine. At least a couple of years ago I had to work by this way.

sometimes if "gunzip *zip" doestn't work, you can use "unzip *zip"directly
