I just thought that I would mention that the new version of UNZIP for Os/2
does in fact work well with HPFS.  If you have long file names on unix, and
zip them up, you can unzip them properly on an HPFS Drive.  (No 8.3 limitation)

As yet there is not (At least that I've managed to get working) a zipper that
will deal with special names in HPFS, but at least the unzipper works.
