    Something seems to be wrong here. I put this file into a ISO file at at 
to simh,

DEC-VAX-VMS-TCPIP--V0501-15-1.PCSI-ZIP

And it shows up in the vms 7.3 emulation as DEC_VAXV.PCS;1

I typed 'R unzip -a dec_vaxv.pcs;1 and well here's the log file,

Logging to file "t"

 $ r unzip -a dec_vaxv.pcs;1

%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters

 $ r unzip
UnZip 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP.  For more details see: 
unzip -v.

Usage: unzip [-Z] [-opts[modifiers]] file[.zip] [list] [-x xlist] [-d exdir]
  Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to 
exdir;
  file[.zip] may be a wildcard.  "-Z" => ZipInfo mode (`unzip "-Z"' for 
usage).
=> define foreign command symbol in LOGIN.COM:  $ unzip :== 
$dev:[dir]unzip.exe

  -p  extract files to pipe, no messages     -l  list files (short format)
  -f  freshen existing files, create none    -t  test compressed archive 
data
  -u  update files, create if necessary      -z  display archive comment
  -x  exclude files that follow (in xlist)   -d  extract files into exdir

modifiers:                                   -q  quiet mode (-qq => quieter)
  -n  never overwrite existing files         -a  auto-convert any text files
  -o  overwrite files WITHOUT prompting      -aa treat ALL files as text
  -j  junk paths (do not make directories)   -v  be verbose/print version 
info
 "-C" match filenames case-insensitively    "-L" make (some) names lowercase
 "-X" restore owner/protection info         "-V" retain VMS version numbers
                                            "-M" pipe through "more" pager
Examples (see unzip.txt for more info):
  unzip data1 -x joe   => extract all files except joe from zipfile 
data1.zip
  unzip "-V" foo "Bar" => must quote uppercase options and filenames in VMS
  unzip -fo foo vms.c  => quietly replace existing vms.c if archive file 
newer

 $

OMG what's going on?
