Unzipping Files

Are there any zip/unzip utilities that come with WIN98SE? I downloaded a
firewall and I just noticed it needs to be unzipped. I remember having
WinZip on this machine - apparently that I had on an old disc I can't find -
but I've reformated my disc and lost it. Are there any safe unzip program at
no charge or as shareware that I could download quickly to get up and
running?

Winzip

What's the file extension on it? If it's .exe, then it's probably a
self-extracting file and you won't need a third-party program to unpack it.

(Which reminds me of my favourite Help File quote of all time (from
WinZip Self-Extractor): "When WinZip Self-Extractor creates a
self-extracting Zip file it includes part of itself in the
self-extracting Zip file. The part of WinZip Self-Extractor included in
the self-extracting Zip file is what makes it possible to unzip the
files by simply running the self-extracting Zip file.") :-)

Get winzip or (my fav) winrar he http://www.oldversion.com/
I believe they are freebies.
Gekko

I've been using IZArc, which is free, AND free of any nag screens trying to
get you to buy. It handles a huge variety of compressed files too.
