To answer your questions Optimus ( thanks for your suggestions which led me to the problem)...
1) Yes the files were extracted to the directory.
2) This method of zipping the files immediately after unzipping them is purely a space issue. I am dealing with thousands of text files, many of them are around .5GB unzipped. If I were to unzip all of them I would run out of disk space.
3) In my experience with windows and perl, you need either the double backslash or forward slash. There may be other ways to do it that I am not aware of.

Let's say I start process A.sh, then start process B.sh. I call both of them in my C.sh
How can I make sure that B starts its execution only after A.sh finishes.
