heh or for geek value and an award for gratuitous use of pipe; '/bin/yes | cp -$foo $options' might do the same thing. IIRC /bin/yes dates back to when all cp and rm commands were -i by default (back in the 70's as I understand it) -- It could be, if the Microsoft way of handling the unzipped file was safe and reasonable, but they've written their software to be too "smart" (that is to say, brain-dead-eager-to-do-wrong-things), and the bells and whistles are the problem. -- Werehatrack on opening zip files
