and if my code doesn't run on your linux box don't be surprised.  I'll 
leave it to you to guess whether I have an alias for unzip in my .bashrc. 
The alternate choice being that I was thinking about the hypothetical code 
too fast, and meant to type zcat rather than unzip.  And I did have a typo 
in the use statement which should have read

use XxYyZz.

Note the . at the end.
