Fri Aug 14 16:59:00 GMT 2009

Here's an example:
CYGWIN:
c:\test>\cygwin\bin\unzip \dx4w801\dx4win_regexp.zip
Archive: \dx4w801\dx4win_regexp.zip
 inflating: pcre3.dll
 inflating: regexp/freq1.txt
 inflating: regexp/qth1.txt
 inflating: Dx4win.exe
c:\test>ls -l
total 3296
-rw-r--r-- 1 reisert Domain Users 3229184 Aug 14 00:20 Dx4win.exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 reisert Domain Users 140288 Mar 17 2007 pcre3.dll
drwxr-xr-x 1 reisert Domain Users 0 Aug 14 10:57 regexp
GNUWIN32:
c:\test>unzip \dx4w801\dx4win_regexp.zip
Archive: /dx4w801/dx4win_regexp.zip
 inflating: pcre3.dll
 inflating: regexp/freq1.txt
 inflating: regexp/qth1.txt
 inflating: Dx4win.exe
c:\test>ls -l
total 3296
-rwx------+ 1 reisert Domain Users 3229184 Aug 14 00:20 Dx4win.exe
-rwx------+ 1 reisert Domain Users 140288 Mar 17 2007 pcre3.dll
drwx------+ 1 reisert Domain Users 0 Aug 14 10:58 regexp
