Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.  I did go there and got
both the bin and src.  Then found out that the package is 1.93a
compatible.  But with the pointer to info-zip, I went to ftp.3com.com
and got the sources for zip11 and unzip50.  zip11 works great, but I
have problem with the unzip.

Both the unzip in the FreeBSD package and the unzip50 from info-zip
strips 12 hours off the date-time stamp of the files being unzipped.  
Can anyone give me a pointer as to why this is happening?  I am running
NetBSD 0.9 and compiled the unzip50 with 'make bsd'.

Thanks in advance.
