Different program; it's in either the `unzip' or the `unzip-crypt' package; take your pick. (See apt-cache search for more info.) > Also, I don't understand his link: "ln -s f1 f2" establishes a > soft link from the new name f2 to the existing ordinary file f1, > which doesn't make any sense to me with the syntax he gave. `ln -s foo/bar/baz quux', where quux is a directory (like `.'), is equivalent to saying `ln -s foo/bar/baz quux/baz'. Same as with most of the fileutils, actually. This is documented on the ln man page, although it's pretty terse.
