Hello,
how can (Win)zip files (or certain files only of the zip archive) be
decompressed or at least be viewed with Cygwin?
Thanks for all good hints.
Thomas Wiedmann

You might also try 7-Zip. You can download it from: http://www.7-zip.org/
7-zip supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, LZH, CHM, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, ISO, MSI, WIM, NSIS, RPM and DEB formats.
I use this and in my shell resource file I have aliased it to "7z" in instead of putting the directory in my $PATH variable for some reason, I cant remember. Lazy maybe.
alias 7z='/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/7-Zip/7z.exe'
7-Zip also has a gui executable, "/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/7-Zip/7zFM.exe"
for a window interface.
regards

If one is looking for a command-line interface, the Cygwin "p7zip" package
is an arguably nicer one for Cygwin. ;-)

Unfortunately the "unzip" command is not available in my Cygwin environment.
If I try to call it, I get the following message:
$ unzip Temp.zip
bash: unzip: command not found
How to get and integrate the "unzip" command for Cygwin?
