Details:

For the unpack function, the archive type can be explicitly specified in an
argument. I assume that applies to cases where that type is not given by the
file extension. But in that case it doesn't work, as shown by the error of the
following script:


dlmwrite("out", pi) ;

zfile = "out.zip" ;
zip(zfile, "out") ;
unpack(zfile) ;

zfile = "outz" ;
zip(zfile, "out") ;
unpack(zfile, [], "zip") ;
