for a windows XP pro machine (don't all flame me at once), I'm looking
for an unzip utility that
1.) has a command line interface
2.) can unzip contents to a PIPE
3.) can unzip GZ archives.

I've tried

a) winzip: it's GUI can extract GZ archives, but the command line
version does not work on GZ files

b) unzip utility that ships with oracle has good command line switches,
can unzip to a PIPE, but only works with ZIP files and not GZ files.

any utility out there that can handle all three requirements above,

thanks to anyone that can help out

George

Get zip and unzip from:

<http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/>

and you can get gzip many places. I'm not sure where mine came
from. They all handle pipes on windoze properly.
