Dear Sirs/Madams

I am getting very frustrated, but not with you guys.

My latest drama is that the unzip program installed by Packaging/install.sh 
does not work.

For example the command

unzip -q -o /c/Users/Public/GNUCash_Downloads/readline-5.1-lib.zip -d 
/c/soft/readline

from the msys command line fails.

The command

unzip -q -o /cygdrive/c/Users/Public/GNUCash_Downloads/readline-5.1-lib.zip -d 
/cygdrive//c/soft/readline

from the cygwin command line works.

I then went back into msys and rerun install.sh and it went on to the next 
download, unzip where it failed again.

One option is to remove cygwin but I do nott wish to do this at this point in 
time.

Another option is to butcher Packagin/* to use the cygwin unzip but I do not 
know where to start, or am not prepared to put the time in to do this.

Another option is to download the source for unzip, configure/make/install and 
use that unzip.

A third option is to find out why unzip is not working in msys.

I have 

cd  /c/Users/Public/GNUCash_Downloads
unzip -t /c/Users/Public/GNUCash_Downloads/readline-5.1-lib.zip

from the msys command prompt and it fails (like all the rest) by bringing up 
the help instructions.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown
