There are still possible gotchas, a non-rarity being a file that
has a dash ("-") as the first character; you'd then guard against
that by substituting "$f" with "./$f". There are probably others ...
Sometimes when a loop is inconvenient, the "xargs" command is used instead:
ls *.zip | xargs -n1 unzip
As noted elsewhere in this thread, the idea of unzipping multiple files
all into the same relative directory may not yield desired results.
