1. de-zip files in Eu?
I somehow found some files online, they are 700 megs zipped down to 200
megs. Has anyone managed to use winzip's unzip from a Eu program to
unzip/extract files from .zip files? Zip.e only extracts info about the files,
it
doesn't extract anything.

I know you're looking for euphoria code for this type of thing, but I've
always packaged a windows port of the *nix unzip program and made a
system call instead. Works rather well and the unzip program's pretty small.

Look for "unzip.e" in the archive. It unzips from zipped archives.
I've got a EU program I wrote that zips files using PKZip's command line
zipper, plus a EU install program that unzips those for my clients.

Ok, i did, on http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-
bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&gen=on&keywords=unzip.e, and got a
No match found. Try again.
What should i look for? Looking up "unzip" got me nothing related to unzipping
with
an Eu program.

I looked all over, and saw no command line for the winzip v8 which i have,
and none of the readme had any mention of command line use, so i wouldn't
know which parameters in which order to pass to it in a system(). I did find
my olde dos pkunzip v2.04g, circa 1993, which came with a built-in dos help
screen for parameters, and !surprise! it opens the files i am trying to get now!
I think i got it when new, to run on msdos v3 way back when. Twelve year old
software, good as new! 
Thanks for the hint, CJ.

Oops! Try this:
-- unzip.e - v1.23 - by Davi Figueiredo
-- You can get the latest version of this program from my Euphoria page,
-- at http://www.brasil.terravista.pt/Jenipabu/2571

That site has just about every GNU utility ported native to windows.
Once I used the command line unzip utility, I never went back to winzip.
AFAIK, since it's all published under GNU/GPL stuff, it's free to put
with your program (provided you put a link in the readme to a place that
has the source i think).
