typically if they are just pkzip exectucables you can use unzip to unzip them. if they are windows self-extracting archives though this won't work. i have had some sucess using wine for this though. eg. # wine stupidfile.exe and then just extracting it into /tmp and dealing with the unextracted files from there. adam.
