Doug, I tried unzip, but it didn't work. Kept compaining that it wasn't a valid archive. I know it was a good archive because I later extracted the very same one with vmware2/Win2k. I found all sorts of info about creating SFX archives and about `unzipsfx', but nothing that worked for a regular .exe self-extracting archive. I've had people tell me that unzip may work sometimes, but under what conditions I'm not sure. I saw the pkzip port, but I couldn't find info anywhere telling me that it would extract .exe formated self-extracting archives. Have you used either of these tools recently to extract these types of pernicious archives?
