The directory in which you installed the executable is not in your path. You
must either add this directory to your path, or give the full path to it
when invoking it in a command.

Examples :
---------

(in ~/.cshrc or other where appropriate) :

set path = ($path /my/home/directory/where_the_executable_is)

(from the command line ) :

/my/home/directory/where_the_executable_is/unzip.exe lots-o-files

look for
1. permissions
at least -r-x------ , i.e. executable for you (owner)
2. path
change your environment variable "path" or execute it from the current
directory ./file_to_execute
