No Toby; the shell expands the file names. assume we have foo.zip and bar.zip in the current directory; unzip *.zip will pass the command line unzip bar.zip foo.zip and since unzip can't find foo.zip in bar.zip it failes. You need to do unzip \*.zip or unzip "*.zip" or anything else thaat will let the wildcards past the shell. For an example of shell wildcard expantion try echo * in a directory; poor-man's ls.
