can do it from my PC, but I think that will drag everything over the
network. Is there some easy way to run a iSeries program to un-zip them?

I just returned from vacation and am late, but did not see other
responses that included an example, so here is something
I have recently used on our system i :

1) from a system i command line, start qshell:

strqsh

2) from the QSH Command Entry screen,
change to the IFS directory from which
you want to extract or expand your archives:

cd/mydir

3) from the QSH Command Entry screen,
enter the command to extract archive
file contents:

jar xf myarcfile.zip

Note: I use System i Navigator to copy/move files to
the IFS, and to see the results of the extract, but
DSPF, CPY, MOV, etc work from the green screen.
