Unzip again

Paul,

The format of the unzip command indicates that the first named
file on the command line be a zip file, and any subsequent names
are the names of files contained in the archive that you wish to
extract. So when you do "*" for the argument, you are giving the
unzip command a series of names depending on what is in your
directory, all arranged in alphabetical order, but unlikely to
satisfy the requirements of the command syntax.
