The licensing agreement for both zip and unzip allows you to use
the code in your programs if you do a couple of things (give them
credit and provide the original code or something).  In fact, 
most of the code in unzip is public domain, so you don't even 
have to abide by the licensing agreement of unzip if you don't
want to (make sure you only use the source files that are 
explicitly PD though).  BFN.  Paul.
