Here is one way to do it:

unzip -Z -1 somefile.zip | find /V "/" | parse "US;'unzip somefile.zip 'US;"

Where 'parse' is the utility described in my article at:

http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2001/scoug010.parsetool.html

If you have a EMX port of the UNIX 'xargs' command,
you could probably use it inplace of the parse.
