By default, AIX does have an option to unzip .zip files, it's just a little bit hidden. Normally one would use 'unzip' but that's not available by default. You can install it as a rpm, but that's not necessary. Java is installed by default and is also capable of unzipping .zip files, with these simple steps:
- Add the java utilities directory to your path
- Unzip the file using jar
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java5/bin jar -xvf zipfile.zip
That's all!
