KNOWN BUGS

Because the variables $1..$5 are used, you must not use these in the
file names. The program will not lock up but in some cases replace the
codes which are part of the file name.

C:
cd \unzips
md $4
cd $4
pkunzip -d $1
^Z

User selects the following files.
	D:\APPS\TESTZIP.ZIP
	C:\TRASH\LOCAL.ZIP
	E:\GAMES\DOOM.ZIP
