I too like to see where a .ZIP file will be extracted to.  If it's done
automatically, it just might mess up an already existing directory.  I generally
run 'unzip -l ...' first to see what's in it, and directory structure, so I can
see where I want to extract to and not mess up the root directory or get
something inelegant like \LOVELACE\LOVELACE or \DJGPP\DJGPP.
