One way to mount the CD-ROM file system is to use SMIT.

In the "Mount a File System" window:

* Enter the device name for this CD-ROM file system in the FILE SYSTEM name field. Typically, the device name is /dev/cd0.
* Enter the CD-ROM mount point in the Directory over which to mount field. Typically, the mount point is /cdrom.
* Enter cdrfs in the Type of Filesystem field. To view the other kinds of file systems you can mount, click List.
* In the Mount as READ-ONLY system field, select yes.
* Accept the remaining default values and click OK to close the window.

AIX locks the drive when it is mounted, so unmount it.

umount /cdrom

Should do it.

AIX does not support zip files but there is freeware you can install to allow AIX to uncompress zip files.
