     flush.console()
     win.version()
     zip.unpack(zipname, dest)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 zipname: character string giving name of zip file.

    dest: character string giving directory within which to unpack.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     `flush.console' flushes the console output buffer in `Rgui' and
     does nothing under other front-ends.

     `win.version' is an auxiliary function for `bug.report' which
     returns a character string describing the version of Windows in
     use.

     `zip.unpack' unpacks the zip file `zipname' in directory `dest':
     it is an internal version of `unzip zipfile -d dest' (but will use
     an external `unzip' if one is set in `options("unzip")').
