Brian, If you take a minute on the download page you'll see a link to where the unzip utilities for your os are.

I downloaded oracle 10gR2 for the platform I needed to my pc as a .zip file. I ftp'ed it across to the HP UX itanium server that I want to load the software on. I tried unzip and it doesn't know unzip. I tried gunzip but it gives me an error. I tried all the optional parameters with gunzip and nothing. I even tried uncompress. How do I unzip a .zip file on unix? ciao, Brian This email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
