I just tried to ftp some stuff from cica.cica.indiana. I got pkunzip and a whole bunch of other files. When I went to run pkunzip, all I got was a flashing cursor. No hard drive activity, no nothing. I made sure to do a binary transfer, so that shouldn't be the problem. Any ideas? Here's what I did: *logged onto school mainframe using terminal *ftp'd to cica *gave binary command *got files *quit ftp *tranferred files to my PC using kermit protocol *exited windows *typed "pkunzip" -> nothin' happened ----------------------------------------------------------- Bill Eaton insert standard disclaimer here -----------------------------------------------------------

PKZIP110.EXE is the way it is usually stored on bullitin boards, Genie and Compuserve. This is a self extracting file. Once you have extracted the pkzip files you can then type pkunzip <filename>. be sure to include the filename that you are unziping. You also must include the path if the file you are unziping is in another directory. your command should look something like: c:\pkzipdir>pkunzip c:\somedir\filename.zip >----------------------------------------------------------- >Bill Eaton >insert standard disclaimer here >----------------------------------------------------------- Good luck -- -------------------------------------------------------- Stephen Guerke, Coord.

Are you sure you told your mainframe to transfer binary as well as FTP cica->mainframe. pkunzip has been on cica for a long time so I doubt that it's corrupt.
