Unzipping windows zip files on Sun sparc workstation
I've got to install and compile some C++ source code that has been developed on a windows box on a Sun sparc workstation. Can I simply e-mail myself some windows zip files and then download and unzip them on the sparc box? I've tried this on a linux openSUSE machine and it works fine but I'm not sure whether it will work on the Sun machine.

Did you pkgadd zip/unzip?

If so:
I've had issues in the past with DOS text files, especially reading them in command line utilities. You may want to dos2unix the source first.

you already knew the answer, in Solaris, there is command unzip to uncompress zip file.

And why not try it directly?

I should have mentioned that I don't normally have access to the sparc box otherwise I'd have tried it out as you suggest. I'm going to have to go to a client site to do the install and I don't want to turn up on site only to discover that I can't actually unzip the source code.

ok, in that case, tar with gzip will be more suitable for you. Because all unix system should support tar and gzip command.
