Hi Chris, You can install the archivers/unzip port to get the zip utility. But I assume the java/collections port has that as a dependancy anyway. So just put the file in /usr/ports/distfiles and let the make process handle the details of unpacking the file. You can use the `jar' binary that comes with JDK 1.1 to unpack ZIP files too, btw. =) Just my 1 ct. Ernst Chris wrote: > Hi all, > > I just tried to install the collections port.
