In summary, the best program to use for unzipping files compatible with Suse 9.1 is unzip. It can be found in YaST by searching using the keyword "unzip" and its default behavior is to extract the file in the current directory. Alternatively, Winrar is also a good option as it can handle various file formats and allows the user to control which types it is associated with, but it is not free.

I'd be surprised if you don't have one installed already. From the command line type

unzip file to unzip

you can type

man unzip from the terminal to get the switches. Default behavior is to extract the file you are trying to unzip in the current directory though.

If you don't have unzip, you can find it in YaST by searching using the keyword unzip.

Good luck.

What's suse 9.1?

I like winrar for unzipping files.

It understands rar, zip, cab, arj, lzh, ace, tar, gzip, uue, bz2, jar, and iso formats, and the user can control which of the above file types iit's associated with.

The only problem with it is that its not free.

Suse 9.1 is a Linux Distro. It's completely and totally different than Windows in every way shape and form.
