I'm sick of using CDE File Manager to unzip patch clusters (need to
hit the space bar forever). There must be a faster way of doing this.
Thanks

unzip 9_Recommended.zip

Add a -q after the unzip if you don't want to list each filename as it
unzip's it (especially good if you're on the console or some other slow
link)

Doh! That requires using the dreaded "Command Line". A Systems
Administrator cannot do that using clicky-drool.

Our term is PACman, Point And Click man.

'man' implies at least some minimal knowledge of what one is doing when
administrating a UNIX system. This, unfortunately, is not the case with
the OP.

You mean more-ing thru the output? See "man more". You can skip
as many pages as you want like "99f". Or set your PAGER env var to
less, in which you can goto the end by "G" or ">" (and still page
back) or "F" (continuously Forward forever)...

Or customize the CDE Unzip action (see the built-in one in
/usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/solaris.dt).
