st: incorporating zipped files into do-files

["Murali Kuchibhotla" <muralik@iastate.edu>]

Hello,
      My question concerns the use of data files which are compressed into a 
zip-folder.Is there a way to incorporate the un-zipping of these files in the 
form of code that is part of a do-file as opposed to individually extracting 
each and every needed file separately from the do-program? Thanks.
