i think both xp and vista can unzip zip files natively.

and a person running linux… would know how to unzip zip files.

So if person who doesnt have internet on Linux (because he doesnt have dialer) can unzip it on Windows (because he may not know how to unzip on Linux) even if windows doesnt have winzip and then transfer it to Linux using floppy or CD or pendrive and then install RPM.

So one file serves all scenarios.

So now its worse or smart thing!!? :-p

You guys are getting it wrong.

Reason for giving EXE file can be that it can be unzipped using unzip command on Linux (which comes inbuilt) OR otherwise can be unzipped on windows, even if person doesnt have winzip.

So idea is that one single file can be unzipped on Linux or on Windows with or without winzip.
