Original Problem:
> Unzipped files have incorrect date
I received a few email messages from people who had the same problem.
I also received several emails from people with soutions to my problem.
I list these solutions in no particular order.
Thank you all.

Get gzip utils. You can get them from any GNU site. ftp.cdrom.com for one.

I got zip and unzip from the FTP site
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/src/ and I am not experiencing the same problem.
`unzip -v' reports:

I've been lazy; I pulled the precompiled binaries from:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/UNIX/DEC
Source is in
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/src, except for the strong
encryption stuff, which is at
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/infozip/src

unzip -v on my machine (3.2c but a later version of unzip)
shows:
$ /usr/mbin/unzip -v

I can't speak for 4.0D, but I do have a version that runs fine with 4.0b
and 4.0c with the latest patches. It is also newer than the version that you
are using (and I think it may even be out of date). Try fetching a newer
(non-beta) version:
