OK. There is a utility available for Linux that unzips zip files. it is
called (how creative!) unzip.
Boot up your Linux machine. Login as root. Type unzip. If you get an error
message like:
command not found
it has to be loaded. if you get a nice long paragraph of stuff, you've got
it!
If you've got it, type:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -t msdos -o rw
and try...
unzip -v /mnt/floppy/filename.zip
And tell me what you see.... do you have a lot of files that end in .c or
.h? If so, you've got a good deal of source code, which we'll have to
compile. If you have only a few files (like /usr/sbin/lilo and
/usr/man/man1/lilo.1, we may have only the executables
now that you've looked at it.. you might want to send me what you see...
try this:
unzip -v /mnt/floppy/filename.zip > /mnt/floppy/listing
Then shutdown Linux (shutdown -h now) and start Winodws to email me and
say what you've got. You can send the file a:\listing as an attachement if
you like....
