Hello

I am trying to read a large number of WinZip files from inside R (v 1.7.1,
options()$unzip = internal). I have unsuccessfully tried to unpack the files
and write to an external directory so that I could read the text files using
zip.unpack. Reading some of the archives suggests that this is for .ZIP
format files only. 

I have also unsuccessfully tried to use gzfile to open a connection and then
read.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Adam
