Thank you Martin. Sorry, I was looking fir a .zip file to download and
your previous post (2-Mar) was expired (I know I could have gone to
Google, but I didn't).
Anyway, I'm happy to say that you were correct!
Appending the UNZIPSFX.EXE onto my "updated" zip file worked. I can now
download the resulting product and run it as a SEzip.

My only wish now is that Info-zip's UNZIPSFX would allow me to specify
the name of a command procedure to run automatically after unzip
completes, like I can do with WinZip.
(thinking aloud: but maybe I can get the source and add that myself...
yea, that's the ticket!)
