   I found out that gzip -d  complains about the bundle suffixes.   
      
   I would rather use unzip .   
      
   So.. what should the unpacker line look like if I want to use unzip?   
      
   According to the unzip syntax, the following won't work:   
      
    unzip $DOWNLOAD $PUFFER   
      
   Do I use the following instead:   
      
    unzip $DOWNLOAD -d $PUFFER
