I've downloaded a zip file off the net into a directory on a WIn98 partition.

Running DSL 2.3, I open emelFM as superuser, mount the partition, click through to the directory and find the file there as expected.

If I right-click on the file and click on "UNZIP," a terminal window briefly opens and closes.

What happened?

If I right-click on the file and click on PLUGIN:unpack --> The zip file vanishes!

Now I really want to know, "What happened?"

Using find, I get no answer back - the wristwatch sits there telling me that find is doing something until I get tired of looking at it and stop the search.

Also, when I click on "View Contents," it shows a 720k zip file having _no_ contents!

There's probably at least 3 things I'm not getting here...

Could someone help?

to open some zip file u need to load a dsl optional called gnu_utils, u can find it il the system or unc section of the repository, or open the window manager menu and click on apps - tool - upgrade to gnu utils.

Close, it turned out to be a flakey floppy.
