Yes, although it's not *that* new --

UnZip 5.20 of 30 April 1996, by Info-ZIP.  Maintained by Greg Roelofs. Send
bug reports to the authors at address@hidden; see README for details.

Usage: unzip [-Z] [-opts[modifiers]] file[.zip] [list] [-x xlist] [-d exdir]
  Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to exdir;
  file[.zip] may be a wildcard.  -Z => ZipInfo mode ("unzip -Z" for usage).
...
  -X  restore UID/GID info                   -V  retain VMS version numbers
                                             -M  pipe through "more" pager
Examples (see unzip.doc for more info):
  unzip data1 -x joe   => extract all files except joe from zipfile data1.zip

I have other problems, but they didn't seem worth mentioning :-)

I'll be happy to recode it if people think this is a useful feature.  If
not, "it works for me."

I don't speak (or work) for the Baltimore County Public Library.
They keep telling me, "Shhhhh!"
