You mean the one that comes with Netscape? If so, you don't need to open 
it! Just create /usr/local/netscape/java/classes/ and mv it there. It's 
written in the readme. What version of Netscape do you have, btw? The new 
3.0 betas have 'java_30' instead of 'moz_xx.zip'.

I installed Slackware 3.0.0 and it has Info-ZIP's 'zip' and 'unzip' 
binaries preinstalled. Try to run 'unzip'. If it doesn't work, get it 
from Info-ZIP.
